Donald Trump repeatedly has said he wants the U.S. economy to reopen as quickly as possible, as record-setting unemployment claims flood labor departments across the country and economic forecasts have become more dire.
In response, the White House is looking to form a new task force focused on getting Americans back to work, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, and the presidents daughter, Ivanka Trump, will be an adviser on the issue.
The first daughter has also involved herself recently in efforts to dish out loans to small businesses through a massive $349 billion loan program, the Paycheck Protection Program, through the Small Business Administration, CNN reported this week.
She appeared with her father for a teleconference call with banking executives at the White House on Wednesday.

(12,712 posts)"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Just let me sit in your nice, warm lap and tell you about what I want about the business things. Open! Open! Daddy, I want it open, now! Oh, and hugs. Nice big hugs." she says while doing Dad's favorite hip wiggle to sweeten the deal.
Is Princess Electra really anything but the poster girl for nepotism? Do business people really find Father Issues Filly a bastion of confidence and inspiration? I would think they would think of her as the bimbo who drops you after you get her out of debt or something.
Maybe it's just having the right makeup and daily beauty and fitness regime after all?

I can sleep in peace! As in, RIP.

(10,037 posts)She would keep all documentation and then months from now let it trickle out how masterful her ideas were and she did it all for the good of the country and not herself.
But Ivanka is not smart. She is an attention seeker looking for and groomed for photo op appearances where she can pose amongst many of those that actually belong debating economic decisions. As she appeared at meeting of heads of State, Ivanka is blissfully out of her league...but her face will grace any Tweets released by the WH/her Dad of any policy advice to come out of the committees.

(90,780 posts)of the Trump hotel DC for the Trump campaign? Overcharging the campaign, thereby directing even more campaign funds directly into Trump Org. coffers.
She insinuates herself into the loans to small businesses...on the dishing out side of it. Meaning she'll influence where it goes and who gets it. Right? She'll have a say in that...a big say.
Billions of dollars at her direct disposal.
