Serious question is Ivanka co-president or truly the power behind this white house

She is now at G20 sitting in on meetings

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029300915


She sat in over half the meetings since the transition. How much power does she have and what is her doing in this country?

Was the new head of the CDC his choosing or hers?

Yeah, it has been a joke about her being the power behind the President/The real First Lady BUT 7 months into this "Presidency" this is something we should really be concerned about.

Anytime anyone asks her she just says "she is not into politics" or says some vague platitude about wanting to help women business owners( as if business owners are the only people who matter).

I'd say she is a hardline conservative like her father because she obviously is there right beside him as he approves all his insane policies. But the saddest thing is she is a blank slate and we have no clue what her influence may do to this country.

She is her father' daughter. Trump in prettier packaging and she knows how to use that to her advantage. She is there for what will benefit the Trump empire. She doesn't give a damn about anything else.

Do not underestimate her.

which, I suppose, is the role of a VP.

Since the fall of the Eastern Block, whenever an American president visited Warsaw, he went to see the Jewish Ghetto. This time, Ivanka went.

circling the wagons around Donnie as a protective mechanism because of his obvious failing mental state. This is a Branding Ploy by the Trump Crime Family.
