Indian diplomat: ‘We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes’

President Trump and daughter Ivanka attend Small Business Event

It’s interesting to remember that despite the fact that Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism to marry Jared Kushner, she’s still 100% complicit in her father’s promotion of white supremacy. I don’t know why Ivanka, Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller think they’re somehow exempt from the white-supremacist, anti-semitic dog whistles going around the country and the West Wing, but they’re not. So daddy’s perfect princess finally tweeted out a message on Sunday, after approximately 40 hours of Nazi terrorism in Virginia:

I mean, should she get a cookie for doing absolutely the minimum in this situation, which was properly identifying these a–holes as Nazis and white supremacists? No, she does not deserve any cookies. Complicity does not get you a cookie.

Meanwhile, did you know that daddy’s precious princess will be “leading” a delegation to India this fall? Ivanka is going to India to support women’s entrepreneurship or whatever. This is how one unnamed Indian diplomat reacted to the news:

Ivanka Trump has reportedly been likened to a “half-wit” Saudi prince by an Indian diplomat after it was announced she would lead the US at a summit in southern India. Donald Trump on Thursday announced that his daughter, who works for him as an official unpaid adviser, would head the country’s delegation at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in November.

An unnamed Indian diplomat told Bobby Ghosh, the editor-in-chief of the Hindustan Times: “We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It’s in our national interest to flatter them.” He later added: “Yes, it is a shame that the US should be compared to a kingdom. But that is America’s shame, not Modi’s, or India’s.”

The US Department of State says the three-day event encouraged collaboration between American entrepreneurs and investors with international counterparts “to form lasting relationships”. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who invited Ms Trump to India in June, said he was looking forward to her leading the delegation.

[From The Independent]

This is our world now. And that unnamed Indian diplomat has it dead-right: Ivanka Trump is America’s half-wit princess. She’s given nonessential busy-work and sent out to shake hands and be the complicit face of her father’s half-assed “empire/kingdom.” There are so many layers to comparing Ivanka to a “half-wit Saudi prince” too, since that’s truly how Trump sees himself as POTUS, that he’s the king of America, that women shouldn’t have any rights, that he can do whatever he wants, etc.

    Princess Nagini the Corrupt of the Most Sacred Horcruxed Vagina has not been confirmed to any position that would authorize her to represent the US by the Senate; she is not an elected official; she is not the First Lady. She has absolutely no authority to speak on behalf of any US citizen who is not named Ivanka Trump or on the behalf of the US. Send out those emails, phone calls and letters . This halfwit does not represent us and not one cent of our tax dollars should be spent on sending her on this trip.

    • Rice says:

      Question: does anyone really believe that she’s not being compensated in some way?

      • Fiorucci says:

        It’s not about the salary but using the position for connections (for her /the family’s own gain.) and having access to info in the White House
        So I’d say I believe it but it’s not necessarily reassuring

      • lightpurple says:

        We pay for her phone and her staff and her computer and I don’t believe for a second that she is not conducting her own business or Trump family business with those resources. We also pay for all her travel expenses. Family members must pay to fly on Air Force One but by labeling her “staff,” Trump makes sure WE pay for her to fly on what are really nice vacations. And she is promoting herself and her brand at all times. She claims to be an “advocate” but advocacy is a lot more than photo ops and she features herself in all the photo ops, not the people for whom she is supposedly advocating. It is all just resume-building for the snake whose resume was a bit short until now.

      • Bellagio DuPont says:

        @Rice

        Ivanka doesn’t need to be paid a red cent to do that job, are you kidding me? The access to world leaders, the opportunity to develop an international network of the most powerful people and organizations on earth in such an intimate way…..lol….I would pay a big fat wager (bribe even) for that job, never mind getting paid. $$$$$😛😛😛🤑🤑🤑

      • 80cao says:

        She gets paid in connections and the extremely valuable free advertising. Daily pap walks often featuring stuff from her own line. It’s the idiocracy. Both she and Jared are vapid as heck.

    • Stella in NH says:

      Amen!

    • V4Real says:

      I really hope she is aware of what that diplomat said about and think of her. And why is she doing the First Lady’s job. Let this have been a Democrat first lady who sits on her ass and do nothing. We would never hear the end of it.

      • swak says:

        @V4Real – Melania will say she can’t go because Barron is starting a new school this year and she has to be home with him. Any excuse to get out of her obligations.

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        Melania’s coming up to Toronto to represent the US athletes at the Invictus Games in September. Hoo boy.

      • jwoolman says:

        Swak- Melania should stay home for her son right now. Leaving him alone with that raging narcissist at this point would be a major mistake. The kid is only 11 years old and just left his friends and school behind to come to a White House in constant turmoil.

        Besides, Melania doesn’t really have any more to say about entrepreneurship than Ivanka. Both of them started from a position of wealth that simply doesn’t give them experience relevant for more typical entrepreneurs.

    • Lala says:

      I literally do not comprehend what is her political function and/or experience/education ? We complain about nepotism in fashion industry yet she goes on diplomatic excursions without an ounce of shame or ever being asked what the F are you doing in politics?!

      • lightpurple says:

        Her political function is to accept bribes and promote the Trump brand. No, she is not there to moderate daddy, she agrees with everything he says and does; always has and always will. She experience and education are that she is daddy’s favorite spawn. She has no diplomatic experience or training and probably is unaware that State Department employees must pass a test, which she probably would flunk. Her education experience is a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton Business School. Her supporters argue that she is “highly educated” and that she has a MBA. She does not have a MBA and by the standards of those who work for the State Department, she is not highly educated as most have masters degrees of some sort. Her work experience consists of working for less than a year at a real estate corporation, not staying past the probationary period or long enough for an annual evaluation, before going to work for daddy because she just couldn’t afford to pass up such an opportunity.

      • Bellagio DuPont says:

        @ LightPurple:

        We’ve finally spotted a yawning flaw in the american democratic system…..be elected president (through any means necessary) and then brazenly load your team with members of your family who can then openly commit a myriad of crimes knowing that they will get presidential pardons after sucking the system dry.

        Why haven’t others been savvy enough to take advantage of this before?

      • lightpurple says:

        @Bellagio, because it has been illegal for a president to hire family member since the mid-60s?

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        @Bellagio because most people have managed to adhere to some kind of code of ethics and haven’t been raised to have the kind of hubris that allows them to act like they are royalty instead of public servants?

    • AnnaKist says:

      And I’m wondering how long it will be before her/their clothing will bear tags saying, “Made in India”, because entrepreneurships…

      • Jerusha says:

        Or she’ll just steal some of the designs.
        Exclusive!! ivanka trump saris!!

      • SoulSPA says:

        That’s what I was thinking. A lot of fashion and accessories are made in India. Business opportunity in disguise for Ivanka Trump, the “entrepreneur” that has been put on the spotlight for the labour conditions in China I think? in factories that worked for her brand. Now India is coming up. Shameless. Absolutely shameless.
        India actually has a lot of well educated people that have done a lot more for their country and their people that Nagini will be ever able to do. They don’t need her. India does not need a spoiled fake racist brat to talk business.
        The switch from charity/aid/education from previous women in the WH/Oval office to business of an already rich POTUS is so blatant.

      • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

        Excellent comment @SoulSPA !

      • Tiffany :) says:

        My thoughts exactly. She is going to use the guise of administration work to make profits for herself and her family. Shameful and illegal.

      • Indiana Joanna says:

        Agree, Grifter Barbie is going to India to steal ideas, latch onto other businesses, create photo ops for her IG account.

        She has the same teeny self absorbed mindset as her father. I recently read an article listing several Ivanka fan blogs that she follows.

  2. Jenny says:

    Ha! Good one India! You seem to have gotten it about right.

  3. Jerusha says:

    This was my tweeted response to Plastic Princess:
    “Your words are meaningless. The WH is full of Nazis, racists& White Supremacists courtesy of your worthless, ignorant father. Condemn him.”
    It was a much politer response than the one I usually give to the Racist-in-Chief.

    • Laughable says:

      Well aren’t you admirable!

      • minx says:

        Wow, you are all over this thread defending the Trump family.

      • Jerusha says:

        For the most part, yeah. Compared to any trump, I’m a saint.

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        Actually, yes. To have your name/identity become known to a fascistic White House with police powers is a brave, admirable act. She’s speaking her mind as an American and as a taxpayer. Jerusha – I admire you!

      • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

        @minx – I was just about to say the same thing.

        I can’t decide if it’s Nagini talking or some troll.

      • Lady D says:

        ” Compared to any trump, I’m a saint. ” Amen Jerusha, amen.

      • magnoliarose says:

        Looks like a Deplorable is feeling butthurt their Nazi in Chief showed his mottled ass to the world. And yes it is Laughable.

    • otaku fairy says:

      Exactly. Not sure who she thinks she’s fooling with her “There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis” lip-service, but how exactly does she think her father has so much support? Does her sheltered ass not even have a clue about how Daddy’s supporters casually talk about POC and Jewish people every single day just while commenting on news and entertainment stories on MSN, Yahoo, and elsewhere?

      • magnoliarose says:

        Agree. It doesn’t matter what she says as long as she is complicit. Empty words.

  4. Dtab says:

    Half-Wit is a compliment for her…IMO

  5. Izzy says:

    This headline is the perfect thing to wake up to on this Monday morning.

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      Couldn’t agree more and with a hot cuppa, I feel almost hopeful for the future of this country. Not.

  6. Megan says:

    Hahahahahahaha What a dead on description. Ivanka desperately wants to be taken seriously and that is never, ever going to happen.

  7. Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

    All I see when I look at her pics is Eric Trump with a wig.

    About her role – LP’s comment above is spot on.

    About her reaction to this most recent tragedy – she is Jewish, married to a Jewish, and her children are Jewish. But she DOESN’T GET WHAT’S UP with neo-nazis, all of them SCUM, and WS – because she probably *is* one.

    • lightpurple says:

      And she waited way too long to send those tweets.

      • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

        But of course. Too long and two meaningless tweets. There is a yuge difference between talk and walking the talk.

    • minx says:

      I get perverse pleasure out of seeing her starting to age badly. All of the plastic surgery she had is gradually giving her a strange alien look and she will try to compensate with more tweaks. My niece is Princess’ age and she looks much more youthful and normal.

      • Laughable says:

        Doesnt sound perverse – sounds more like someone incredibly jealous.

      • minx says:

        Laughable…you think I’m jealous of Ivanka Trump? I can’t stomach her or her family.

      • Oh_Dear says:

        Laughable – disregard for someone does not equate to jealousy. That is a naive and simple response. Petty, yes, but @Minx already acknowledges that. We can all be a bit petty to someone we don’t respect and admire, and who stands for trite, misogynist, transparent, opportunistic, condescending principles. It does not mean @minx is jealous. It means she lacks respect for Ivanka, who has earned many peoples’ disrespect over and over.

      • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

        There is 100% pervert pleasure and 0% hint of jealousy in that comment.

      • lightpurple says:

        “Jealous” is the main word in the script given to Trump supporters to defend Princess Nagini. They identify themselves by hurling it whenever any of her many character flaws are discussed.

        @laughable, do tell us why anyone would be jealous of the morally bankrupt Ivanka? A woman who has never managed to hold a job except for what daddy gives her? A woman so lacking in self-esteem that she has surgically altered her entire face and added parts to her body to distort it to cartoonish-proportions? A woman who may soon be facing charges of treason? Do tell us why we should be jealous of that?

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        Hey lightpurple, don’t forget to mention that hot and hunky husband. So jelly!

      • magnoliarose says:

        @WATP HAHAHA! Why can’t he be mine?
        For a million dollars anyone can be butchered and reassembled, injected and sculpted. Add extensions, dye and stuffed and you got yourself a living dim witted Barbie doll. She still lurches when she walks but that might be nerve damage from the 56th surgery.

    • Disco Dancer says:

      Speaking as a Proud South Asian myself, some of the best insults in any language come from Hindi and Bengali, lmao! I am loving that Ivanka has been called a half wit and compared to the dumb, debauched Saudi princes, LOL! Let’s see whether Dumpy Trumpy will now threaten to rain down “fire and fury” on India for this insult!

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        Sure, why not? India’s already a nuclear power so he doesn’t have to wait 2-3 years for N Korea to catch up.

    This is our new normal now. Seriously, though, where is Melania? Is she with her boo? Is she alive?

    • lightpurple says:

      Melania, or more likely her “staff” issued the first insufficient tweet about the Charlottesville situation on Saturday.

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      She is coming to Toronto next month to represent the US delegation in the Invictus Games. I hope she will be politely ignored.

      In an alternate universe we would’vehad Michelle Obama.

      • lightpurple says:

        Actually, in an alternate universe, you would have had Bill Clinton.

      • graymatters says:

        Yeah. I wondered if the old draft-dodging moniker would be problematic for him at the Invictus games. Guess we’ll never know.

      • Who ARE These People? says:

        Lightpurple you are so right. The First Laddy.

      • Betsy says:

        @graymatters – gee, if only Bill Clinton had been getting an education during Vietnam.

      • godwina says:

        Ugh, really? Craptacular.

      • graymatters says:

        I’m not commenting on his decision to stay in school at the time. It’s just that his critics called him a draft-dodger as an insult and I’d worry that it could be used to take away from the sense of unity and patriotism that the Invictus games engender.

        I wouldn’t want Trump anywhere near them, either, given how he regularly insults military vets and their families.

      • magnoliarose says:

        @graymatters I don’t doubt it would have been mentioned.
        MO actually advocated for military families so she made sense. Melania makes no sense but what else is new.

      • notasugarhere says:

        She’s probably going because it is an easy PR “get” plus her husband is obsessed with royalty.

    • RBC says:

      Why isn’t Melania who is FLOTUS not leading this delegation? Like what actually is she doing since she got to Washington? Every other First Lady in the past was seen a lot more. It is like she really is hiding out in the White House unless forced to leave.
      Rather surprised Ivanka is not coming to Toronto next month for the Invictus Games to get a chance to be close to Prime Minister Trudeau

      • lightpurple says:

        Melania actually went back to NYC after the G20 summit.

      • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

        Well she didn’t want to be FLOTUS and she doesn’t seem to have the intellectual or emotional abilities to have a public FLOTUS role. She’s FLOTUS *only* by the name. No wonder she is hiding. And she doesn’t have any influence over Drumpf, unlike the daughter-wife to *some* extent.
        Too bad, I would give her some credit because I don’t think she is that stupid. IMO she is much better than that evil Nagini the Corrupt.

      • Dee Kay says:

        @Pumpkin Well Melania is at least smart enough to stay the hell away from her husband as much as possible, so there’s that.

      • magnoliarose says:

        I can’t hate on the woman for that. Lie low and hope the hell the fool gets impeached is her plan. Let Complicity Barbie make a gigantic ass of herself on the world stage. She and Barron can hang back and watch Netflix in between plotting their freedom.

  9. Nicole says:

    So spot on. So many people dragged Ivanka for her stupid tweet. Complicit is right and we are not here for it

  10. Karen says:

    How exactly does she expect people to come together as one? Is she suggesting we should we bond and accept the Nazis? Because ironically the Nazis do want a “one” America, one race/ one religion. America is built on the ideal of many cultures and religions working together, but that does not mean assimilating into one voice.

    I feel bad for every country who is sent this unworthy “statesman”.

  11. Bellagio DuPont says:

    Presidents vastly under-qualified, light-weight, complicit daddy’s girl is leading a delegation of presumably US diplomats to India…….what kind of banana republic, blatant nepotism is this? I mean, the sh*t that’s going down in this administration is just incredible.

    Having said that, sorry to say, sexist India might benefit from seeing a woman lead at something……well…….apart from ex-president Pratibha Patil, that is. 😉

    • Jerusha says:

      And Indira Gandhi. And the USA has had how many female Presidents?

    • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

      “Having said that, sorry to say, sexist India might benefit from seeing a woman lead at something”.
      No, Nagini will not make a difference. She was born into privilege. She never had to struggle and she’s always been protected by monster Drumpf. She had everything handed to her on a silver plate. She is not a good example. And did she ever show any kind of solidarity with women in the US when needed? Is she even human? She only cares about herself and her brand. She’ll go to India and hustle for herself.

      • jwoolman says:

        The real problem is that she is grossly unqualified to say anything useful to entrepreneurs. “Choose a rich grandfather and join the family business before your incompetent father runs out of his dad’s money” and “Get the cheapest labor and materials you can and don’t worry about fair labor practices” and “Maximize your profit by helping your incompetent dad become President, become his chief babysitter, and get in front of the cameras every chance you get.” That’s about it.

      • Dee Kay says:

        @jwoolman: The most succinct summary of her CV anyone could have wished for. Nicely done.

    • Tan says:

      Giving Ivanka prestige will coax some much needed help out of USA, merely a diplomatic step. Much like how she was received in Germany.

      “Sexist ” India doesn’t need white savior thank you.

      We have more female ministers in Cabinet than you have in yours

      • Bellagio DuPont says:

        @ Tan

        Sorry, I would have enjoyed this put down so much more if it had come from maybe a woman? Or a man from a country that doesn’t have such a harsh track record against women? In fact, it would have been perfect from an Indian woman.

        It’s just not sitting right with me coming from him specifically, that’s all. No offense meant.

    • ORIGINAL T.C. says:

      “Sexist Indian” does have female leaders. It is also a very diverse country with women of variable socioeconomic status. Furthermore the new generation of middle-class to wealthy Indian women of Ivanka’s age group are far more educated, intelligent and better role-models for women. These women by Ivanka’s age have PhD’s, M.D., MBA’s and are in positions of power *earned* by them.

      Go to any American or British University or fortune 500 company and you will find them. Google jumps at a chance to hire them and will give them post-student visas. I’m sure Google man left that out of his rant. I had many young ladies from Indian in my college classes. Yes their parents wanted them to marry and have kids but also expected them to be well educated to the highest degree possible. Their families paid their school fees and housing costs so they could concentrate on excelling in college.

      So this politician is rightfully speaking up for his country, modern Indian. He called a spade a spade. Invanka IS less educated and not as smart as Indian women in the same socioeconomic status. She is an airhead compared to them. That is not sexism, it’s the truth. Feminism is the equal treatment of men and women. He is using the same words for Ivanka as for a male Saudi Prince. To treat her as a special snowflake because of her gender is what would be sexist and his is not doing that, her defenders are.

    • A says:

      “might benefit from seeing a woman lead at something”

      Look, no offence, I get your point re the sexism, but if you think India is lacking in female politicians, especially female political leaders, you’re sadly mistaken.

  12. Rice says:

    Speaking of half-wits, I saw an outrageous tweet about how Melania Trump is the only FLOTUS to condemn racism and hate. These people are desperate to rewrite history.

  13. Electric Tuba says:

    Nightmare be gone!

  14. Who ARE these people? says:

    Hey Ivanka there is totally a space for all that hatred and intolerance and it was opened by your dad.

    Get real, and spell Nazi right … it gets a capital N, you half-wit. Putting it in lower case –I see what you did there — doesn’t “soften” it.

    • jwoolman says:

      Gotta defend the lower-case. I use that myself for the current crop of neonazis, treating nazi as a generic noun, though autocorrect changes nazi to Nazi and I often don’t bother changing it back. When not under the thumb of autocorrect, I reserve Nazi for the originals since it’s the short form of the name of the political party. You can choose to do otherwise, it’s just a style preference.

    • magnoliarose says:

      Yep capital. N. Nazi. Complicity B can’t do it because her Grandpappy was one.

  15. littlemissnaughty says:

    That diplomat must’ve honed his shade skills for a long time. This is short, sweet, to the point. Every time you read it, there’s another layer of shade. And I love how dignified it sounds. “This is America’s shame …” Yes, yes it is. But it’s our collective problem.

    • magnoliarose says:

      Oh yes you are right. Lots of shade to unpack there. It is a multi layered set down.

    How dare Eva Braun 2.0 lecture us on what we must do. Her phony moral superiority is revolting.

    She has a giraffe neck

  18. Tan says:

    Really! The diplomat openly said that? I mean we all know that but India needs USA right now for the escalating conflict with China over Sikkim North East.

    I doubt something so unadulterated would be leaked to the media right now.

    I highly doubt the source of the news.

    • Jerusha says:

      I think most of the world is laughing at the USA right now and that has loosened tongues.

      • Tan says:

        Too loosen it so openly? I have hard time believing it from an Indian diplomat thats all. Because Trump warmly supported India ans no one is that stupid.

        India unlike say Germany needs USA.

        And we have enough Ivankas of our own too.

      • Jerusha says:

        You may be right, but I welcome any foreign official who recognizes the utter ridiculousness of this administration, wherever they may be based. Everything trump and his family and minions have done has debased the office of the presidency and made the USA a laughingstock, not to mention a pariah.

    • MinnFinn says:

      I think it is suspect too.

      • jwoolman says:

        They might be figuring Trump won’t be President much longer. Mueller is closing in. I’m hoping for a resignation once even Trump realizes what serious trouble he’s in and how powerless he will be to stop the investigation. Congress is pretty serious about protecting Mueller. And Republicans are finding their voice to increasingly criticize Trump. They have to deal with their constituents.

    • magnoliarose says:

      What will Tangerine do? Nothing. Who is going to put their business interests at risk for an insult very few people disagree with? Sure someone said it and nothing will come of it but snickers and laughter behind closed doors.

  19. mk! says:

    Gee, if only democrats could have offered single payer healthcare on their platform for 2016 elections, they could have won the presidency and we wouldn’t be dealing with these issues. WOW! Imagine the idea of taking care of what’s hurting your constituents so that they continue voting for you!

    • graymatters says:

      You are being sarcastic, right? Because most of the people who voted Republican will suffer under their policies.

    • jwoolman says:

      Actually, Hillary was open to the idea of extending Medicare downward to the fifties, which is when the insurance premiums become so impossible and they want to push us out of the pool. That would be a sensible way to start us on the road to single-payer. But the media were too busy reporting every crazy thing Trump said to notice what Hillary was saying about such issues….

    • magnoliarose says:

      Unless you live in another country you will experience every crappy thing Tangerine does. Republicans have all three branches of government and so far nothing. Litigating the election ad nauseam solves nothing.

    • Veronica says:

      You were never going to get your universal healthcare with the purity vote political nonsense of the hardcore Sanders demographic. Obama tried it when he first got in and couldn’t get it through with a Democratic majority. Sanders sure as hell wouldn’t have gotten it through with this Congress.

      We’re here not because of the Democratic Party but because of the people willing to support Trump’s nationalist vision and the millions of Americans who didn’t want to or refused to vote in this election (who tacitly supported this nonsense with that non-vote, at that). The government is not a superhero waiting to swoop in and save you. Democracy is a RESPONSIBILITY of the people to maintain and progress toward a unifying vision. If you want to achieve progressive goals, you need to actually do the footwork in local, state, and federal elections to get there. Stop blaming politicians for your problems and start looking at the voters who put them there. I am tired of everyone looking to point the finger of blame at anyone but ourselves as voters. It’s time to grow up. We all had a piece in creating in mess, small or large, and now we have to fix it before more innocent people suffer.

    i wish i had half the self confidence of a person with zero experience doing anything other than saying “yes daddy” to waltz into a diplomatic meeting in a country i’ve never been to and state i will be leading the delegation….smh

  21. teacakes says:

    That diplomat didn’t lie – the IFS (Indian Foreign Service) are no fools.

    And as for the pearl-clutchers up there squealing about the ‘sexism’ of this remark – clearly, you didn’t read the quote right in the header.

    • Bellagio DuPont says:

      @Tea cakes: We’re ultimately on the same side, so I’ll go easy…….I DETEST the rotten orange and his nasty family, but there’s a real danger here where we become so consumed by our hatred for this man that we begin to look and sound just like these deplorables where there’s no floor for how low they’ll go to hurt the other side.

      I’ve heard too many men describe women in this way, (intellectually deficient) to laugh as easily as I’d like to. If that makes me a pearl clutcher, ok. I’ll strive to at least make them beautiful, south sea pearls. 😁😁😁

      • teacakes says:

        @Bellagio – look, I take it you mean well, but I really do think you missed the part where Princess Nagini was likened to ‘half-wit Saudi PRINCES’. And last I checked, someone referred to as a ‘prince’ would most definitely be a man.

        I’m really searching hard for the sexism in saying a stupid woman is to be treated no differently from stupid men, and coming up empty. And I’m not even sure what relevance your asides about India’s treatment of women had to this – I’m an Indian woman, I know all too well what sexism and fears for my personal safety feel like on a daily basis, but I didn’t know a country had to be flawless in order for one of its diplomats to literally say nothing more than an unqualified nepotism hire is stupid and will be treated as such – just like the stupid men he encounters.

      • magnoliarose says:

        Usually, I am with any slam against sexism but this time they are talking about dilettantes who are only given these duties because of nepotism. The Saudi princes are absolute jokes wherever they go.

  22. nicegirl says:

    I would say my regard for Princess Nagini may even be LESS than my regard for a half-wit Prince.

    I don’t have any hate toward Prince William.

  23. notasugarhere says:

    After the trip to China netted her brands certain copyright protections, what will the trip to India net her bottom line? This whole whole presidency is just a way for Trump et. al. to make billions, from housing the Secret Service in Trump properties to his eldest daughter’s “fashion” business.

    • Tan says:

      India has a open market unlike China
      So unless she wants subsidized land for her stores , I don’t see how it will benefit her

      Oh since she is virtually boycotted in HW ans NY social scene
      Maybe she will hobnob with BW stars

      They jump at the joy of hobnobbing with any Z list celeb anyway

      • jwoolman says:

        Any chance we will see Ivanka dancing along in one of those huge Bollywood dance scenes? Her dad bounced along with the sword dancers in Saudi Arabia.

  24. Green Is Good says:

    I can’t wait for Princess and Precious Jared to be on the receiving end of a FBI dawn raid.

  25. Pandy says:

    Somebody must need to source out a new shoe factory on the public dime!!!

  26. why? says:

    I’m surprised that she didn’t respond to what happened in Charlottesville by posting photos of her kids.

    Will Justin Trudeau be at this woman’s summit in India because as we have already seen, Ivanka loves to be where ever Trudeau is present?

    This is so wrong, why is she being allowed to profit from her father being the president?

  27. Indiana Joanna says:

    Hahaha. I loved the Indian diplomat’s statement because it’s so true. It was also funny that PM Modi said he would welcome her, but I sensed a little amusement in his statement. They know she’s there to grift for her company using India as her backdrop.

  28. Betsy says:

    Hear, Nazi Barbie, hear it all. No one buys your stupid corrupt lies.

    Also, I know she converted and all, but I can’t shake the belief that she is probably a huge anti-Semite. People have done stranger things.

    • Who ARE These People? says:

      It could be that her conversion was as superficially undertaken as everything else she’s done.

      • magnoliarose says:

        She resisted until he wouldn’t marry her and his family was not having it at all. So it isn’t like she felt it in her bones to do it.

  29. lucy2 says:

    TBH in all this craziness, I forgot her husband and family is Jewish. How must they feel watching her &*@#)$ father wink and nod and provoke this kind of hatred? Or do they not care so long as the money and connection keep flowing?

    The half-wit thing is hilarious, though I see that describing her brothers more than her. I don’t think she’s completely stupid, just soulless and greedy.

    • Pumpkin (formally soup, pie) says:

      And Nagini is Jewish HERSELF. She converted to Judaism, but still. I wonder about how her reaction sits with bona fide Jews and Israeli Jews.

    • Jerusha says:

      The kushers and trumps are peas in a pod. It’s all about $$$$$$$$. I wasn’t allowed to link it here, so just google kushner family and read about jared’s sister enticing Chinese investors with hints about WH access. Then read about jared’s father and the way he set up his BIL with a prostitute and showed the tape to his sister. Not for family, but for business. Illegal business, that is. He went to prison.

      • magnoliarose says:

        But that is all different to them than their religion. They are huge donors to Jewish charities and causes. Crooked as pretzels but hypocritically that is how they are.

    • magnoliarose says:

      She was regarded as highly suspicious within the Jewish community for her conversion since she is related to such a con artist. There were arguments about her failings but also many defenders who asserted that she should be given a chance to prove herself and to adjust. Especially since she is supposedly Orthodox it takes time to learn and change her lifestyle, so she was given many breaks. They have both been criticized and his family is side eyed big time but now there is no defense anymore.
      My aunt calls her The Super Shiksa (a derogatory Yiddish term for a gentile woman) because she never believed it. Her silence speaks volumes.
      The headlines in Israel are negative as expected and his pal Bibbi is in trouble and unpopular anyway. No cover there. But even for that criminal, this just might be too far.
      I am glad he is exposed and so is she. It will be interesting to see the outcome in the coming months.

  30. A says:

    Welp, Ivanka isn’t going to be too far out of place in India, considering just how endemic nepotism is in the political sphere there. I’m SURE she’ll have a ton of fun congregating with the various spawns of political leaders who also have no skills to speak of.

    Or, considering just how supportive she is of dangerously disgusting nationalism, she could just find herself at home with the central government too. She can pick up a few tips for how to screw over the poor and destitute in the name of “progress” while she’s at it too! I’m sure PM Modi has TONS of tips he can share with her on that front!

  31. jwoolman says:

    I’m looking forward to President Tweeter going all Nordstrom on the anonymous Indian fellow.

  32. Green Is Good says:

    This is an insult to half-wit Saudi princes.

  33. loveotterly says:

    I’m not really sure what you want her to do. I think her Dad is a loose cannon and she has no ability to control him.

    • magnoliarose says:

      To stop enriching herself using the government and to stop accepting missions she is not qualified to undertake. I want her to stop using our tax dollars when she isn’t supposed to have access to.

    • Ashamed 2 b a FL Girl says:

      “I’m not really sure what you want her to do.”

      go home. back to NYC, and wait for prosecution.

  34. NC says:

    Had a friend who interviewed at Trump Tower when Ivanka was looking for Creative director for her fashion line. My friend was interviewed by Ivanka and after the meeting she told me that Ivanka was total idiot and really poorly represented herself. My friend was offered the job and she turned it down because she did not feel like working for an idiot. Her exact words. This was approx. 7 years ago. Based on what has happened in the last 8 months I see Ivanka hasn’t changed.

    • Lyla says:

      My friend was in school with her. And yeah, she’s a dumb dumb. The professor made it known that he had to pass her regardless of her performance.

    • Justmyopinion says:

      I have no desire to throw praise at Ivanka Trump, but the characterization of her as dumb, in my opinion, is off the mark. If I may say so, I think it’s an inept way to try to make to make her unimportant.

      For me, one of the reasons Ivanka’s silence (delayed reactions) at times like these is so deafening is that she IS an intelligent woman. It’s apparent that her need for her father’s approval outweighs any of the other values she purports to represent.

      That’s a choice on her part & it’s a devastating one to witness.

  35. Jane says:

    I didn’t like her ever since she kept saying she worked 16 hr. days. How could you work 16 hrs. and always look perfect and never tired? She exaggerates just like her father.

  36. jana says:

    Half wit Ivanka with her toothless smile and Pebbles Flintstone voice is an embarrassment.

  37. TotallyBiased says:

    Even Melania’s tweet was, once again, largely plagiarized from a previous MO tweet. So those people saying she is the first First Lady to speak out are really deluded.

  38. raincoaster says:

    I can’t wait till some country or committee or negotiating team finally says “No, we will not talk to your unqualified spawn.” And it WILL happen. And they’d be perfectly within their rights.

  39. Julia says:

    Hilarious! How she can be so arrogant whilst being unqualified, unintelligent and grossly undeserving of her position is astounding.
