And, obviously, to exploit her access and polish her "brand" for present and future financial gain, all on the taxpayer's dime.

(9,426 posts)for this womens empowerment gig. Not to mention, exposure for her run for the WH after daddy's second term. It was passed in the budget. Why didn't someone object to this nepotism?. Who is counting the profits for the 4th of July tRump Hotel in DC while she is with daddy? It is fully booked, at inflated prices. I hope they lose the entire profits on paying lawyers when the axe finally drops. Looks like she got new boobs especially for the occasion, too. Daddy must love that.

speech will say explicitly, but implicitly she says women should take care of their appearance, have nice hair and make-up, wear sexy clothes, and look pretty for their men. Same message as her sister-mama.

(57,359 posts)Deputy Prime Minister of Romania
Elena Ceaușescu (Romanian pronunciation: [eˈlena t͡ʃe̯auˈʃesku]; née Lenuța Petrescu; 7 January 1916[2] 25 December 1989) was a Romanian communist politician who was the wife of Nicolae Ceaușescu, General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party and leader of the Socialist Republic of Romania. She was also the Deputy Prime Minister of Romania.

Career in government
....
From the early 1980s onward, Elena was the object of a personality cult as intense as that of her husband, which exalted her as the "Mother of the Nation". By all accounts, her vanity and desire for honours exceeded that of her husband. As with her husband, Romanian Television was under strict orders to take great care portraying her on screen. For instance, she was never supposed to be shown in profile because of her large nose and overall homely appearance.

Main articles: Romanian Revolution and Trial of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu
Ceaușescu fled with her husband on 22 December 1989, after the events in Timișoara led to the Romanian Revolution, but she and her husband were captured in the town of Targoviste. At the show trial that took place, she answered only a few questions since her husband took a protective role, asked her to calm down and shook his head each time her mouth opened to reply in anger.
Execution
On the afternoon of 25 December 1989, (Christmas Day) in Târgoviște they were turned over to a firing squad and executed. Her arms, and those of her husband, were tied behind their backs. Popular history author Simon Sebag Montefiore has claimed that, before the sentences were carried out, Elena reacted far more belligerently than her husband, allegedly screaming: "You motherfucking assholes!" while being led up against the wall; at the same time Nicolae Ceaușescu sang "The Internationale". Their actual execution was not filmed in time the firing squad was in a hurry to carry out the sentence but the aftermath, including echoes of the final volley, the pall of smoke, and the bodies immediately afterwards, were caught on camera. She was 73 years old. She was the only woman ever executed by the modern state of Romania.
Ceaușescu was outlived by her mother, a near centenarian at the time of her death, her brother Gheorghe Petrescu (also an important figure in the party) and her three children: Valentin (b. 1948), Zoia (19492006) and Nicu (19511996), who was also a very important member of the Romanian Communist Party. Elena Ceaușescu was buried in Ghencea Cemetery.
