no need to call her that.

You can call her clueless, corrupt like her father, but no need to call her that. IMO.

unacceptable by DU members in general. I don't know what word it was, but I can think of two that would fit that description. Probably it would be best to consult your internal thesaurus and choose an alternative next time.

I have a more serious take on this. I am not a psychiatrist, but I don't this takes Sigmund Freud to figure out. She is not merely clueless, I think she is in denial about her father's behaviors and attitudes toward women, including her. She herself has a some form of an unhealthy relationship with him. Remember how he groped her hips at the convention? It was very apparent that that kind of thing happened all the time, it wasn't something that surprised her. He talks about her in sexual ways. So she has built up a defense mechanism to protect her from the truth of who he is. This tweet is just an example of it

Ivanka is not a good person. She is a phony and a fraud just like the rest of the Trump gangster family. That doesn't erase these disturbing issues that she obviously has with her father. There is a pathology here.

She’s sitting next to her first sexual experience.

Maybe all those rumers are true. Although his talking on the record about her as a sexual object in his mind on more than one occasion are not rumors.

I think if it looks like a duck...

is right on the mark. If you believe Trump’s sexual remarks about his daughter, some of which were on radio are just innocent musings of a loving father then you’re in denial

...but, although I certainly find a lot to dislike about Ivanka, let's not make comments on that subject.

I mean, even if such rumors were to turn out to be true, that would only make her the victim of such a circumstance, because I don't think you could say that she would ever be capable of freely consenting to that situation.

But with my childhood experience I know such things happen and it's very difficult to talk about because there's always a bunch of people who say it's inappropriate to talk about those things. Shutting up the victims of pedophelia of any kind is not a solution. It's just a way of not dealing with the issue.

is the trump name. She has no abilities of her own to go out and do it all for herself and try to really make a difference. She is what enabling and abuse of power is.
