BREAKING: Ivanka's Thanksgiving Centerpiece appointed to key Trump cabinet position
No link yet...breaking news 
WASHINGTON DC - First Daughter Ivanka Trump found herself, once again, subject to ridicule from the Internet when her "Ivanka HQ" Twitter account posted a photo of a baffling "Thanksgiving Centerpiece," along with the words "Have no idea how to decorate your Thanksgiving table? Problem solved."
Mere hours after the mockery and scorn flooded in from around the world, her father made a surprise announcement: the centerpiece, which he referred to as "Tony," had been appointed to a key Cabinet position, reporting directly to HUD Secretary Ben Carson.
"I look forward to Tony's contributions in furthering the great, major, history-making accomplishments already achieved by Dr. Carson," Trump told reporters. I was impressed by his work on Thanksgiving day. He really held that table together."
Tony the Thanksgiving Centerpiece could not be reached for comment.

I guess I was too overwhelmed. 
Maybe it's for the maids?
for a couple of days and . . . voila . . . centerpiece. And it's so big! But I suppose only the unwashed masses want their turkey on the table.
