So why is Ivanka doing that very same thing?
Courtesy of Think Progress:
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have pledged $100 million to the World Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund, an initiative proposed by first daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump. The fund, which was first announced in April, has already raised serious legal and ethical questions about how a White House adviser can both shape foreign policy and actively solicit donations from foreign countries for the fund.
Or is all of this only wrong when a Democrat does it?
So the Trumps will get a lot richer from this field trip abroad. Will every country visited have to pay up to the latest fake Trump foundation? Just think how many painted-on-velvet portraits of Trump those Middle Eastern donations might bring in!

same old, same old -- what is hypocrisy? what is truth? what is irony? what is meaning? We are now living in a dystopia -- got used to it yet?
ReplyDeleteme neither, but with every avenue of checks/balances being systematically blocked...what can we do? FUCKING VOTE!! at the very least. And march on June 3rd. 100 cities and counting.
But every action and law (and arrest of non-criminal immigrants-- up 150%) made now is pissing off more people; mainstream talk of impeachment; even Time magazine (not a left-wing magazine) is now involved. In a week, Republicans continuing supporting Trump is down 11%. That is a start.
Even worse - trump can be impreached but every single person next in line is just has bad and wants to destroy our country too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, they will be much more efficient, alas.

ReplyDeleteWhy are we marching?
DeleteWe call for a #MarchForTruth on Saturday, June 3rd to raise our voices and let our elected leaders know that Americans want answers. The legitimacy of our democracy is more important than the interests of any party, or any President. So, we will rise together to call for a fair and impartial investigation, for the pursuit of truth, and for the restoration of faith in our electoral system and the Office of the Presidency.
Across the country, peaceful demonstrations will be arranged on Saturday, June 3rd. Our goals are simple:
An independent commission must be established, and Congressional investigations should be properly resourced and pursued free of partisan interests;
As much information should be made available to the public as possible, and as soon as possible;
Congress should require Donald Trump to release his tax returns to clarify his business interests and obligations to any foreign entity;
If crimes were committed or if collusion is discovered, it must be prosecuted.
First, let me say that I'm not a fan of Ivanka Trump because I think she's just an enabler/tool for her father.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, the money placed into this fund will be kept in the World Bank and is for international women's issues. The money does not go to the Trump family or Ivanka Trump and she will not have any say in how this money will be spent.
However, the questionable nature of this donation is obviously meant to influence the current occupant of the White House (and his daughter), who has repeatedly criticized Saudi Arabia for the 911 attacks, yet does not include them in his Muslim ban.
Plus, how sincere are the UAE countries when it comes to really caring about women's rights? Women living in these countries are forced to cover themselves from head to toe, have a "chaperone" when they venture out in public, nor are they even allowed to drive! This is only lip-service for the next news cycle.
In other words, for Trump and the UAE male, political leadership, money talks.

Delete"‘All Hail the New World Orb-er’"
I think the Saudis have been "playing" Trump for the fool that he is. First the shiny gold medal on the shiny gold chain. Then the dancing with him. Then the ceremony around the glowing orb to initiate Saudi Arabia's fight agains extremism. Add to that a fat contribution to Ivanka's fake foundation and you've got a real mess in the making.
DeleteForeign leaders are a lot smarter than the average Fox-News-watching US low-intelligence voter. I predict that this entire trip abroad will continue in this vein, with the next host trying to outdo the previous one. I wonder what Pope Francis has under his hat for Trump. As someone who enjoyed HBO's "The Young Pope," I'd like to suggest that Pope Francis give Trump a kangaroo as a pet just as the Australians gave the young pope in the series. The Trump kangaroo could join Spicer in hopping around the White House grounds and peeking in the windows at inopportune moments.

Ivanka runs sweatshops to make her clothes, you really think she gives a hoot about women's rights.
DeleteWas this a pay off for the arms deal?

“The defendant immediately volunteered that he had committed the crime, and he even sounded proud of what he had done,” according to a filing signed by U.S. Attorney J. Walter Green. “He wanted to cooperate with the agents, and the defendant stated as much toward the end of his interview.”
I feel the rumbling of protest coming. We, Americans have lost thousands of USA citizens, Thousands of Military men and women. Why? for the "911 attack" that changed trust and life for all of us. Michael Moore's documentary farheniet 911 best described. That Good old new Yorker rudy. The bushes. The senseless war on terror and aiding the enemy. We do know who ordered this, who was on the plane. Money and Mob? After much deviation since 2007 and rigging, we now have the biggest LIAR as the so called us pres. Rubbing noses with Russians and insulting Americans directly by the hour. I don't know? Can this smell worst? Millions have died for Our Constitution, Freedom and Our Country. They had back bone, guts and spirit. Wake up, Stand up and Fight for Our Country within our borders. Trump and his entire staff must be removed from office and power asap and a special election to elect our president arranged now. OVERTURN CITIZEN UNITED, the crime of the century.
