(46,061 posts)when Michelle Obama had the temerity to start a vegetable garden at the White House, started a program about children eating healthy, and to get up and move. Last time I looked, she made contributions without ingratiating herself into White House policy or being part of the "public service family".

(28,876 posts)There's the distance that could have allowed Haley to say this with throwing up in her own mouth a little bit.
Any comment on how YOU see it, Nikki?

Watching daddy so he does not do something really stupid.
Two baby sitters.

Ivanka couldn't do anything about those photos of him at G20 all by himself, totally out of his depth and not knowing how to socialize with the other world leaders.
When are the repugs or his family finally going to put the country first instead of their selfish interests and put him out of his misery with the 25th Amendment?

(101,295 posts)The very essence of the United States was rejecting the idea that being a member of a family gave you the right to be part of the government. That ability, and the consensus of your fellow citizens, made you a representative, not blood relations.
She should never have been the "other" person for the USA in that room. There should have been a civil servant, or someone with international experience. It's an indication that the Trump regime wasn't taking the G-20 conference seriously from the start. It was just an excuse to have a meeting with Putin. Because that is literally the only area in which Trump has achieved his objectives, or even come close to.
If he had gone to meet Putin, and not reported what he said to him, everyone would have said he was submitting to him. This way, the conference acted as a cover.

anneboleyn
(5,611 posts)has her own multi-million dollar businesses that she built up all by her widdle self (perfume, etc) just like Ivanka so that should be perfectly acceptable...right? Hilton is at least equally qualified to act as substitute president in Trump-crazy-logic so next time we the American people should demand that Paris be there to meet with major international leaders!
These people are just fucking out of their minds. What's scary is that the Repubs say nothing no matter how damaging and extreme Trump's behavior becomes.

(33,112 posts)Saying this about someone who's family has done absolutely nothing for the past three generations, but, serve themselves a hunk of chocolate cake cut from the middle with two scoops of ice cream is not only a lie... IT.IS.AN.INSULT. to anyone who has EVER actually served their country in the military, elected political position (who actually kept the best interests of their constituents at the forefront, not this crowd of GOP 1% sycophants we have in there now.), or civil service.
