An advisor to the president should advise him not to take his daughter to important functions...

[NoThankYouNext]

pointing out she has no experience, knowledge or skills in politics is now called hate?
I better go apply to Harvard, so when they decline me I will call on them haters

[Dianeediegoo]

Didn’t realize pointing out someone isn’t qualified for a job was “hating” 🤦🏽‍♀️

This is nepotism. A father promoting his own daughter in a high public position. A public position is not a family matter.

People: What is your job?
Ivanka: President's daughter

[ShellBAtoms]

The G20 is not the place to play "Take your Daughter to Work Day!"
Embarassing.

[WynMills]

Empowerment of women?? Didn’t she try to butt in to a conversation between two powerful women who actually had the right to be at the G20?

[davidbroughall]

With Ivanka in the White House, every day is Take You Kids to Work Day.

Lagarde's face expressions are priceless LMAO

This is an embarrassment. Please vote this mad man out in 2020. Thank you.

The President of the United States doing his best impression of a pageant mom..."Smile sweetie, turn left, turn right, smile at the camera...wave now honey, wave to the people..."

If Ivanka truly want to empower women, first thing first, ask her dad to resign and stop belittling and abusing women

Start with the biggest offender in the White House

[MsCarlota]

Truly shameful. What is happening to American governance? Ivanka is totally out of her depth.

[garryh]

LOL even Macron is giving her the cold shoulder things must be bad ..

[johnpaulreed]

At this point the trump family is the swamp.

[amristar]

Her role should be just standing in the sideline and waving tiny American flag everytime her dad's name is mentioned.

[howardgardephe]

Dictator's pass power to their children..

[angelasharples]

Personally,   I felt that is so inappropriate...agreeable as a travel companion but not to impose politically....that's just bad manners....she's way out of her league!

[manny_f]

That's cringey, but Trump has been shocking us from the get go

[nikanj]

Her prescence devalues and insults the role of experienced diplomats.
