Critics Stumped RNC Lists ‘Honorable’ Ivanka Trump — And Omits Title For Her Siblings


Such a title is usually reserved for judges and high-ranking officials like presidents and governors — and federal appointees confirmed by the Senate. Ivanka Trump is a real estate owner and former clothing manufacturer who was named a White House adviser with no political experience by her father.

Critics on Twitter pointed out that Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were ordered to undergo mandatory charity finance “training” as part of a court settlement following misuse of Trump Foundation funds — a less than honorable deed.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, Housing Secretary Ben Carson, deputy assistant to the president Ja’Ron Smith and retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg were also given “The Honorable” titles by convention organizers.
