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.

That's why she is in photo-ops with world leaders all the time.

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

(63,221 posts)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.

Kind of reminds me of this scene...
