    Like this wasn’t a forgone conclusion. Folks only care about pay for play when it’s not their candidate of choice.

    it's kind of naive that you expect this to change anyone's mind, honestly

    She's placed her business into a trust. What more should she do?

    From the link:

    "Although Ivanka has stepped down from her role at her business and has placed it in a trust, she continues to receive profits from the business," the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington wrote

    To be sure, Ivanka Trump's brand has dozens of trademarks both in and outside the U.S. While the timing may look odd given President Trump's remarks about ZTE, the brand applied for the trademarks well before the current heated trade dispute.

    I don't, Trump supporters will never change but it shouldn't be ignored either.

    How about not have daddy negotiate with China in exchange for 14 patents.

    Pathetic.

    Sell it, then put the proceeds into a blind trust.

    Trump is wheeling and dealing with China and mixing his business with the nation's business in the process. Having his child nepotistically in his administration only worsens the situation.

    Impeach this corrupt POS already. It's high time.

    The only one who seems to be blinded by partisanship is you.... Your own article admits "the trademarks were applied for in March 2017, according to the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."

    You don’t think the coincidence is alarming.
    You have to at least admit the optics look bad.

    I was sad at the level the left ignored some things Obama did but the flagrant disregard being practiced by the right with Trump is absolutely alarming.

    Perhaps she could sell it to the U.S. Government for a profit?

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/oct/25/state-department-buys-70000-worth-obama-memoir/


    State Dept. spends $70K on Obama books

    The State Department has bought more than $70,000 worth of books authored by President Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking “key libraries” around the world with “Dreams From My Father” more than a decade after its release.

    The U.S. Embassy in Egypt, for instance, spent $28,636 in August 2009 for copies of Mr. Obama’s best-selling 1995 memoir. Six weeks earlier, the embassy had placed another order for the same book for more than $9,000, federal purchasing records show.

    About the same time, halfway around the world, the U.S. Embassy in South Korea had the same idea and spent more than $6,000 for copies of “Dreams From My Father.”

    One month later, the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, spent more than $3,800 for hardcover copies of the Indonesian version of Mr. Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope,” records show.

    A review of the expenditures in a federal database did not reveal any examples of State Department purchases of books by former Presidents George W. Bush or Bill Clinton. The purchases of Mr. Obama’s literary work mostly, but not always, took place in the months after Mr. Obama captured the White House.
