“The broadening of Trump’s role in her father’s administration is unprecedented by any modern member of a first family.

 

“President George W. Bush, who worked on his father’s campaign, is the most recent parallel to Ivanka Trump, said Kate Andersen Brower, author of “First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies” and a CNN contributor.

 

“‘But even he wasn’t sitting in on high-level policy meetings when his father was in the White House. It definitely complicates matters when someone who can’t be fired — aka a family member — is this involved in an administration,’ she said.”

See the POTUS, his daughter, her hubby
and their offices, cheerful and clubby.
With more facts to confute

“Despite her prestigious new digs, Trump will serve as an informal adviser to her father, without a paycheck or a job description. She has pledged to adhere to ethical regulations, though she’ll receive little oversight from non-relatives. This has irked some Washington insiders, who have called her rapid ascent an extreme example of nepotism.”

Though Ivanka’s not working for pay,
She’s got clearance, and what’s not to say,
If things get too bad
She’ll stand up for her dad,
Instead of the U. S. of A?
