Christine Lagarde's face while Ivanka Trump tries to speak to world leaders at G20 says it all...

Everyone knows one of president Trump's favourite activities is bringing his daughter Ivanka along to literally everything, despite the fact that she has no experience in diplomacy whatsoever.

And just like that, Trump also brought Ivanka along to the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, where she tried to mingle among the big shots and well, let's just say things got pretty awkward, very fast.

One moment in particular, which will most likely go down as the most toe-curlingly awkward exchange in G20 history, is Ivanka trying to get involved in a talk with Theresa May, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, and IMF head Christine Lagarde. Yes, really.

The moment, which is now trending on social media, shows Lagarde rolling her eyes while Ivanka tries to get a word in and if that doesn't make you want to sink into a hole in the ground and never come back, then we don't know what will.

I can't remember where the rumor came from, but her name was floated after Nikki Haley resigned. OMG where will the chutzpah end?

She planas to use all of this footage to prove she has the experience when she runs.
That's why she is in photo-ops with world leaders all the time.

learn and make mistakes. Her presence is the height of privilege and a grave insult to democracy.

She doesn’t look like a professional woman. She always dresses as if she’s going to a garden party. And don’t get me started on the vapid hairdo.

To make money, it's not about substance. It's about branding yourself as a success, and that means photographs with lots of famous people.'

They know something that is becoming very evident. The rich get free passes.

They realized a long time ago that they have nothing of substance to offer, so they had to create the illusion of success, wealth, style, power, etc. But that is all it is, there is nothing of value there. Trump's Presidency has exposed the big lie of the Trump myth. They are nothing, nobodies - it has been a big con all along.

Professional women would not wear that get up to the office or work related event. Why does she not know this? And the Barbie hair-do—Gawd!

If she could only see what everyone else sees, she would be cringing in embarrassment. She is such a hollow shell.

Kind of reminds me of this scene...
