It's ALL about Princess Ivanka. Trump reveals his motivation for the flood of racist Cummings tweets

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

“Elijah Cummings has had his chance to address it (crime & conditions in Baltimore) for decades, and he hasn’t gotten it done.”
@PeteHegseth @foxandfriends How can he get it done when he just wants to use his Oversight Committee to hurt innocent people and divide our Country!

House Dems authorize subpoenas for senior White House aides' official communications

By ANDREW DESIDERIO 07/25/2019 11:32 AM EDT

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/25/white-house-private-communications-subpoena-1435114

The House Oversight and Reform Committee voted on Thursday to authorize subpoenas for senior White House officials’ communications via private email accounts and messaging applications, a significant escalation in a years-long, bipartisan effort to learn more about potential violations of federal record-keeping laws.

Thursday’s vote by the Democrat-led panel came after the White House refused to turn over the messages voluntarily earlier this month — including senior adviser Jared Kushner’s WhatsApp communications with foreign officials, senior adviser Ivanka Trump’s use of a private email account to conduct official business, and former chief strategist Stephen Bannon’s use of a personal mobile device for White House business.

“It makes clear that White House records belong to the public — not the president,” Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said. “The committee has already received evidence of multiple senior officials using their personal accounts to conduct official business.”

On a party-line vote, the committee authorized Cummings to subpoena all communications sent or received since President Donald Trump took office that were not forwarded to official email accounts within 20 days, as required by law. Cummings can also subpoena information about whether those messages contained classified information.

Donald Trump Jr. really wants to run for office — but Ivanka is the ‘apple of Trump’s eye’

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/07/donald-trump-jr-really-wants-to-run-for-office-but-ivanka-is-the-apple-of-trumps-eye/

President Donald Trump’s eldest son may be his namesake, but when it comes to the presidency, it’s his daughter he wants to follow in his footsteps.

In March, Donald Trump Jr. revealed that he is pondering a run for political office and is on the hunt for a state he can call his residence. The younger Trump lives in New York City, where he isn’t likely to win even a dog catcher race. But if he goes the carpet-bagger route, he could find a conservative area that would accept him.

Sadly for him, however, the presidency isn’t likely to be one of the offices. Real Clear Politics writer A.B. Stoddard wrote a piece on Trump possibly kicking Vice President Mike Pence off the ticket to open a way to launch his daughter Ivanka to the top spot. During a “Fox & Friends” interview, Trump revealed that it is certainly something he’s considering, if not for 2020, then definitely ahead of 2024 if he wins another term.

Then to top it off she does the teen girl thing with her hair, as though she was "modeling" for the camera

I am so embarrassed and one would think no one could be more embarrassed beyond the fact we have her father in the WH.

Not only did Ivanka have no business even being at the meeting, but she also dressed as Daddy’s little 10-year-old princess, wearing a dress that looked like a fancy nightgown. Has anyone ever seen anything other than appropriate dress on real world leaders on women like Angela Merkel, Theresa May, Christine Lagarde, etc., etc. This whole family is a disgrace.

As history unfolds for her, with Americans like Elijah Cummings investigating her she’s going to look like the fool she is. All those years of carefully molding an image of the princess, of botoxing, of practicing how to speak in breathy monotones interspersed with dazzling smiles with well rehearsed runway model strides will be for nothing. Nothing! She’s reaching that stage of desperation in aging where she has to delve into the kidney procedures to hold back every wrinkle.

That photo will haunt her because more than any other since she’s been a grown woman it shows her real relationship with her father. And she knows the world is aghast.

Vain people of the caliber of Trump’s women can’t stand to be laughed at. So it’s our duty to do just that. Our patriotic duty.

Trump and the evilgelicsls believe incest is encouraged and approved by GOD in the majic book. How the hell did Adam, Eve, and the Noah clan populate the world on two separate occasions without some family humping going on. And how the hell did brown and black people come from their white loins, twice? God told trump to go forth and multiply, with his daughter. Daddy convinced her as well. Wasn't there a child's Jesus song, "Cause the bible told me so"? I remember having to memorize and sing that as a child.

Religion is now like a buffet bar. So many tantilizing choices yet many will go fill their plates and guts to the prim only with the parts they like or were raised on. The other stuff is foreign, not worth sampling. And they eat themselves to the grave with gluttonism of the hand picked choices. Missing out on some of the best if life. SAD! Lots of white salt. Very little of that black pepper.
