BERLIN — Ivanka Trump shared the stage Tuesday with some of the world’s most powerful women, representing the United States at a meeting of female business leaders.

But during a panel discussion that also included her host, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Ms. Trump was jeered by members of the audience.

On her first official overseas trip as an adviser to the president, Ms. Trump was thrust into a more familiar role — defending her father’s behavior to skeptical foreigners.

“The German audience is not that familiar with the concept of a first daughter,” the panel’s moderator, Miriam Meckel, editor in chief of the financial weekly WirtschaftsWoche, said. “I’d like to ask you, what is your role, and who are you representing, your father as president of the United States, the American people, or your business?”

“Certainly not the latter,” Ms. Trump replied, adding, “And I am rather unfamiliar with this role as well, as it is quite new to me.”

It is a tough role for her since her father isn't married and we don't have a First Lady. Bachelor US Presidents are a rare variety.

True. And if the first lady were to leave the country USCIS might not let her back in.

This changes everything...

 

Ivanka Trump, the first daughter and an assistant to the president, told Breitbart News exclusively that her father’s policies focused on childcare and paid maternity leave are “central to the economic empowerment of women.”

“These policies are central to the economic empowerment of women and they will ensure economic growth and job creation across the country,” Ivanka Trump told Breitbart News via email after an appearance in Berlin, Germany, alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde, and the Netherlands’ Queen Maxima.

 

“Ensuring that women enter and stay in the workforce is vital as well as breaking down the barriers for female small business owners so they can become job creators,” Ivanka Trump continued.

I think she means well, but she has no political capital. The only thing she has going for her is her father's name, and that is more of a liability than an asset. If she hoped she was going to be warmly welcomed like Michelle Obama, she was in for a rude awakening.

I honestly doubt she cares whether or not the left welcome her. Guaranteed she knew this is how they were going to act from the start.

If my last name triggered the left that much I'd definitely keep it too.

Why don't most famous women do it?  She may have privately.  For example Carrie Underwood is legally Carrie Fisher.
