Chelsea Clinton would actually be qualified, considering she has a phd in International Relation and ran a major international non-profit organization that actually involved high ranking government officials

"Imagine if Hillary had colluded against me with Russia! Think of how Fake News would have handled THAT!?!?"

I expect to see this as a tweet in the near future.

Trump jr was already attempting that spin yesterday:

"I was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance I knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with an individual who I was told might have information helpful to the campaign. I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to attend, but told them nothing of the substance. We had a meeting in June 2016. After pleasantries were exchanged, the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. She then changed subjects and began discussing the adoption of Russian children and mentioned the Magnitsky Act. It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting. I interrupted and advised her that my father was not an elected official, but rather a private citizen, and that her comments and concerns were better addressed if and when he held public office. The meeting lasted approximately 20 to 30 minutes. As it ended, my acquaintance apologized for taking up our time. That was the end of it and there was no further contact or follow-up of any kind. My father knew nothing of the meeting or these events."

K. Conway on the subject (CNN): ya'll should feel lucky to have Ivanka representing our country.

This sounds like a dictatorship.

Donald Trump is a boorish, brutish piece of shit, but Bill Clinton definitely used nepotism to further his wife's political career. Also, much like Trump, they made Chelsea Clinton an executive, chairperson in a huge organization.

It's a bit laughable to say that Bill Clinton didn't use his political office to give Hillary a tangible political initiative to launch her political career.

Trump probably knows all this though, but he happens to be a wealthy asshole with no class.

The recent history of the White House has been a long string of familial rulers or attempts at using the White House to launch un-elected persons into political stardom.

I have no idea how qualified Ivanka is, but I don't think Presidential spouses or children should hold any major position with elected officials. I think there should be nepotism laws re-instated to prevent these kinds of conflicts of interest in public office. I know there are unavoidable conflicts in terms of someone having time with you as a significant other, but no one should be appointed or given responsibilities in a way that turns the White House into a family business.
