And yet another Trump blunder

Ivanka, go sell handbags

After Trump came up with a solution to the shooting problem that once again bordered on brilliance (can you taste the irony?), he presented yet another masterstroke yesterday. Daughter Ivanka will represent the United States at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Before that, she will have dinner with South Korean President Moon Jae-In and catch a few matches.

Of course, Ivanka Trump is a woman with a track record. She is a graduated economist and entrepreneur. She created her own line of bags and shoes, but let's be honest, when was the last time you saw someone walking in an ‘Ivanka Trump’? I think we can safely say that we are not dealing with a Tamara Mellon (founder Jimmy Choo) kinda girl. Furthermore, daddy crowned her as the manager of the family estate and by marrying real estate developer Jared Kushner, she ensured that she will be warmer for the rest of her life than she already was. Girls living in the upper right of Manhattan just marry real estate developers.

Now I sound a bit unkind. I really don't want to. I believe that Ivanka is a hardworking, ambitious woman. Truly. Mother of three as well. But why, why, WHY does she represent the United States at the closing ceremony? It's just that Mark Rutte has no children, but Balkenende does, for example. Imagine if he sent his daughter Amelie to events on behalf of the country?

Admittedly, it could have been worse. If daddy himself would come. But he's too busy polishing guns. And paying tons to porn stars in the hope that this time they keep their lips together instead of spread wide open. I sigh for a moment and think about what my late grandfather would say. “Trump, you’re making a mess of it.”
