Certainly not on foreign trips to visit heads of states. At home she does tend to stay in the background though, only venturing out to friendly supporters.

I have no idea what would embarrass her.

And she also had Barbie doll hair to engage with heads of state and the IMF director.

I wanted to see her pull a rabbit or pigeon out of those sleeves—at least some multi-colored scarves.

I'm beginning to think that she wears these outfits on purpose to draw attention to her presence. Yes, a real dignitary would have worn something fitting the occasion, but then she is not a real dignitary. She and her father have ambitions, and they must think that standing out somehow creates legitimacy. Backwards thinking to be sure.

43. She's competing with Don Jr. to be the next president.

No shit!

She probably thinks being seen with all these dignitaries will someone give her the gravitas she clearly lacks.

Too bad she doesn't have a clue what "gravitas" means. In fact, there are a lot of words she doesn't understand:

is unmistakeable. They don't want her there and are not pleased with Ivanka inserting herself into the conversation. The lack of eye contact or acknowledgement of her is quite telling, as are the glances the actual leaders exchange with each other.

It's obvious to me Ivanka was drawn there by two very powerful desires:

1. The camera. She wanted to be captured "adulting" and being important. "See I'm like one of them.

2. Justin Trudeau.

First Daughter injected herself into a woman’s forum at the G-20 and managed to get herself seated front and center. She tried for photo ops with Queen Máxima of The Netherlands, who was, in her previous life, an Argentinian international banker.



https://www.newmyroyals.com/2019/06/queen-maxima-attended-g20-summit-in.html?m=1

Queen Maxima attended the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan
As the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development and Honorary Patron of the G20’s Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion, Queen Maxima attended the G20 Summit held in Osaka, Japan. On the second day of the summit, the Queen attended an event on women's empowerment during the G20 Summit in Osaka. At the invitation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Queen Maxima gave a speech at the G20 side event. (The Queen is wearing a Natan dress.)









WTF is she doing there between Abe and Dolt45?

A lot of times when the confusion gets bad the senile person needs someone they know to get them back into the real world. As much as possible anyway.

then he wants Ivanka to take over. But I know when my dad would be in the hospital he was hard to control. When it got bad the hospital called one me, one of my siblings or my mom. When he recognized someone he settled down a bit. I'm in no way making excuses for any of the brightest. I want them out as bad as anyone else.

with the British royals where she was hoping to get pics with them and be seen as the us equivalent.

so this is her assreting herself forcing people to view her as being on the same or higher level.

He's in really bad shape. Watch the videos of him; this is not just "stupid Trump", this is serious dementia that gets worse on international trips because jetlag makes sunsetting worse. He's visibly deteriorating and needs a handler right next to him.
