WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump was telling U.S. troops about his historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday when he introduced Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, then sprang a surprise.

“You know who else I have?” Trump teased. “Has anyone ever heard of Ivanka?”

The president invited the first daughter to join Pompeo on stage at Osan Air Base in South Korea, jokingly calling them "beauty and the beast."

“She’s going to steal the show," Trump said.

... sticking very close, getting photo'ed like she's one of the heads of state.

Used to be it was Pence who smiled that adoring chit-eating smile at Trump... I wonder if he's being shoved aside because the family doesn't want Pence to know how far ga-ga-gone Trump is, even for Trump... because Pence could get the 25th Amendment going.

Daddy taking daughter to work with him!

Pity neither know what they are doing, other than basking in the (imagined) glory of their (imagined) grandiosity and power.

The looks on the faces of other world leaders - disdain, disgust, WTF looks, 'who brought the mental midgets' looks - go unnoticed by both, such are their delusions.

But no, he actually injected her into the mix as if her incredibly radiant beauty, beyond the compare of anyone on the planet, would bring everyone to his side.

Wow! Not only is he a narcissistic egomaniac, he carries that over by proxy to his daughter as he pimps her out on the world stage. I'll sarcastically bet that the G20 just swooned and signed everything over to Trump.

Abe: You have the hands of a corpse. So white, so cold.
Donald: Let me feed on your energy with my left hand while I hold your hand captive with my right.
Ivanka: That's my Daddy! Necromancer in Chief! So proud of him!
