President Ivanka Trump

Today's National Post, in it's ongoing Trump slurring mode, featured a front page column taking Ivanka Trump to task.  The piece read like a snotty tabloid gossip column.  It's heading and sub-heading read:

Ivanka Trump doesn't know her place    

Hint: It's not in the president's chair
































Many readers of the Post online publication, unlike the column's author, picked up on the most obvious symbolism behind that photo:

    I doubt she will become president, but we shall see. I think there is a bit of fatigue with family dynasties, nonetheless it does seem Ivanka Trump rather than Melania Trump is the first lady.

    You may be right, Miles but Ivanka is a sharp cookie and apparently very interested in politics, so we'll see 8 or 12 years down the road.

    The caption accompanying the picture reads: "A great discussion with two world leaders about the importance of women having a seat at the table" referring to the roundtable on women in the workforce. THAT is why Ivanka is seated at the "table". The NP op-ed implies Ivanka is usurping Melania's role and/or the latter is shirking hers. Not so.

    The actual intent?

    «"We need policies that help keep women in the workforce and to address the unique barriers faced by female entrepreneurs -- and they are unique," said Trump, who opened the meeting by noting that he had employed several "tremendous" women as executives in his companies prior to becoming president.»
    And http://fortune.com/2017/02/13/ivanka-trump-women-justin-trudeau/
    «Monday's meeting is expected to touch on maternity leave as well as childcare, the recruitment and retention of women, and how to better aid female entrepreneurs." -- policies that Ivanka apparently urged presidential candidate Trump to include in his platform.

    Both men got political capital out of that roundtable. Trudeau by reinforcing his self-designed championing of female advancement and Trump by softening his supposed anti-women image.

    She can't be too sharp if she thinks Trudeau is cute and worthy of admiration.
