Kushner asked about being a power couple. "Anyone with Ivanka would be a power couple...Ivanka is brilliant...working together has given me an even greater appreciation for just how effective she is."

Not going to judge, because I'm not in the marriage, but you'd think Ivanka could have gotten a much hotter husband. I don't know the deal with them though. Maybe she's really into him.

A few surgeries, I think. Interesting that she aims so hard at "elegant and untouchable" in her presentation. And yet she lets her husband AND her father touch her ass in photos.

I'm not elegant at all, but I wouldn't let that be recorded forever, an ass-grab.

Before she was working for her father’s real-estate company — and then his White House — Ivanka Trump tried to make a go of it in modeling. It was a career in which Donald Trump, famous for bedding and wedding models, so keenly wanted his daughter to succeed that he told friends at the time Ivanka would be wise to get breast implants, according to a new book on the Trump family.

“Donald wanted it for her, bad, to the point where he suggested to friends that breast implants might help her along,” author Emily Jane Fox writes in Born Trump, which was released on Tuesday.

President Trump’s sister, Maryanne, was so mortified that she petitioned one of her brother’s friends to talk him out of letting her niece get plastic surgery.

“When his friend confronted him about it, he denied that [Ivanka] was getting implants,” Fox writes. “At the end of the call, he asked, ‘Why not, though?’ “

Trump could visually take 30 pounds off if he'd dress sharper. He'd still be a shithole, but not as blobby of one. GQ did this cute video spoof.

And they still have a tailor there. They can make adjustments to whatever you buy there so that you don't look like a slob.

These guys just have some strange sense of style honed from years of thinking that they know the best about everything, including how they look. They don't.

great comment - it does look kind of like that. When my daughter was in 5th or 6th grade, she used to make things out of duct tape as well, though not dresses.

Vampires have developed a plastic coating to avoid such awkwardness. A mirror reflects the coating just fine.
