Ivanka Trump Takes Donald's Place at G20

Ivanka Trump takes her father’s seat at world leaders’ table during a G-20 meeting

Note: he left for other bilateral meetings.

HAMBURG — President Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump has an expansive portfolio in her father's administration. But on Saturday, she literally took his seat at the table at the Group of 20 summit.

The first daughter was spotted slipping into Trump's seat at a working session on “Partnership with Africa, Migration and Health,” putting her shoulder to shoulder with British Prime Minister Theresa May. Russian President Vladimir Putin was sitting one seat down.

Trump's presence at the high-level table was somewhat unusual, given that government ministers or senior officials are typically the ones called to stand in for heads of state at such sessions. But she is both the president’s daughter and an unpaid “assistant to the president" who focuses on issues of women's empowerment and workplace development, and she maintains broad influence in the administration.

She entered the session with her father but “briefly joined the main table when the President had to step out,” a spokesperson for the first daughter said.

It isn't the first time Ivanka Trump has participated in high-level meetings at the summit. On Thursday night, she and her husband, Jared Kushner, another Trump adviser, joined the president at a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Kushner also participated in Trump's bilateral meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday.

Asked about Ivanka Trump's presence at the table on Saturday, Merkel did not weigh in on whether it was appropriate, but she said that the decisions about who sits at the table should be left to the American delegation.

"The delegations themselves decide, should the president not be present for a meeting, who will take the chair, and Ivanka Trump was part of the American delegation," Merkel said at a press conference. "It is very well known that she works at the White House and that she is engaged in certain initiatives."

Also,  Ivanka Trump: 'I try to stay out of politics'

These people need a new PR team.

Now look. There was reason for her to step in when Trump left. There's no law saying that she couldn't sit down for these talks. However, considering she was  seated at a table with leaders around the world without experience in policy and qualification and as someone who "tries to stay out of politics", why was she there? It's just a bit silly, even if she's a part of Trump's delegation. Why couldn't they get someone else there? For example, Jared Kushner.... They guy who is in charge of basically solving every world issue. This is just very contradicting to what Ivanka preaches.

Lmaooo I can't stand this BS anymore.

Imagine if Clinton did this with Chelsea. I'd be upset about that too, because last I checked NEPOTISM IS NOT USUALLY A GOOD THING :saladga: But of course Republicans will be silent because their precious man-baby can do no wrong in their eyes :toofunny:

Ariana doesn't hate America; she was making a sarcastic comment about the treats in the shop, and the thoughts of decadence and gluttony such a display of food can conjure—and the fact America has a problem with obesity and unhealthy eating habits.

Sadly, many, if not most Trump supporters don't think it's a negative thing. I've seen a lot call for Melania to become president, then Ivanka, Eric, etc. They'd be satisfied if the Trumps turn the US into some kind of Kingdom.

The Underwoods seek power purely for the sake of power though. We'd have a stagnate country thats probably only "slightly" better than Trump's America.

We wouldn't have like, totally incompetent people working in the highest levels of government - and those people would at least have a level of maturity and emotional intelligence light-years beyond Trump (and even some of the Republicans in office rn - Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, looking at you).
