The Associated Press, via the Boston Globe, reports that earlier this month, “Ivanka Trump’s company won provisional approval from the Chinese government for three new trademarks, giving it monopoly rights to sell Ivanka brand jewelry, bags and spa services in the world’s second-largest economy.”

What’s significant is that the trademarks were awarded on April 6 — which just happened to be the same day that the Trump family entertained Chinese President Xi Jinping at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Richard Painter, who served as chief White House ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush, tells the AP that Ivanka Trump should stop seeking valuable overseas trademarks at the same time that she’s an unpaid official at the Trump White House.

“Put the business on hold and stop trying to get trademarks while you’re in government,” he said.

1. if Hillary was elected and this was Chelsea, she would have been arrested by now.

2. Hell, some high-profile "leftist" pundits already want Chelsea arrested for

1. Marrying a hedge fund manager
2. Making endorsements
3. Receiving awards
4. Serving on a corporate board of directors
5. Giving speeches

And it's not coincidental that these same liberal pundits have been completely silent about Trump's corruption and brazen nepotism...

3. I have never seen anyone who wanted her arrested for these things.

5. A bit of hyperbole on my part, but you get the point...

[demmiblue]

6. Your hyperbole does not serve you well. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

10. looks like she's running her business and dad's business out of the white house now.

and no one in congress appears to care.

12. Is this an issue?

Was there any other company that was going to receive the "Ivanka" trademark?

It is like Apple getting the Apple trademark. Should be fairly straightforward. There are tons of apples, and even people like Fiona Apple, but only one company should get the trademark.

13. Complicit.

It suits her.
