She wasn't worth my consideration before and she wouldn't be again, once she removed herself from the WH.
But since people are latching onto her like she is a sane voice in a whirlwind of crazy, which is in itself nuts, she deserves to be treated as any other politician and attacked at every turn for every lie and every bullshit statement.
If she is there to moderate her father's actions, then, please, someone show me the evidence.
None exist. She is there to put a pretty face on the ugly that is her father.
She will tell you that her father respects and encourages women. Yet no evidence exist to back that up.
Her father indulges her and she defines that as respect.
Her father encourages her, as his daughter - and she thinks that means he holds the same regard for all women.
But what he encourages her to do is to engage in causes he would dismissively refer to as womanly issues. Of no real import to him or the real world, but gee, it sure does make his daughter happy.
While he guts funding and needed services, an action that does nothing but harm women, Ivanka flutters about, vacuous smile at the ready, explaining how she really wants to help women and how her father really wants to help women, and though she has her father's ear, they disagree - which is really just a case of her father being as dismissive to her as he is to all women. But it makes her feel better to call it a disagreement instead of the insult it is.
Yet out on the public stage she goes, trussed up as the reasonable face of the irrational - which isn't saying much at all.
Anyone relying on IT to get her father to do the right thing is as delusional as Donald Trump.
Her only goal is to protect the brand - and any lie, any subterfuge, and any mask she has to tell, promote or wear - she will do it.
Happily.
