It really is frightening. How did America come to this?

I refer to her as Nepotism Barbie!

Re Trump and a third term - putting Ivanka in will be the equivalent of what Putin did. Trump learns from the best.

Bill Burr is, in my opinion, the worlds best comedian. Please watch him on YouTube he is phenomenal. He does a skit on the very thing you mention re "who elects the Presidents wife"? He compares it to a man who is a Plumber, you call him to your home to repair the Toilet - then up comes his wife and starts to tell you how it is done and the cost. Hilarious.
That said: I think Trump is brilliant and I voted EXIT EU no deal. I like strong leadership.

Just when you think things can't get worse, they do. Kushner is cut from the same cloth as his father who was jailed not only for tax evasion but for witness intimidation. Trumps two sons are known as Dumb and Dumber in USA according to Americans we were chatting to on holiday this year.

It will be interesting to see whether they can make anything stick on her husband who has been subpoenaed to appear before the House committee for alleged interference in the election. How was that family ever allowed to take over the White House? The photograph of her and Kushner peering out of a window at Buckingham Palace during the Trump visit sent a chill down my spine.

She hopes, possibly even expects to be the USA's first woman President. If that happens, we may as well all slit out throats. Mind you, Donald Trump keeps tweeting about a third term for himself, even though he has no guarantee of a second one – and then he puts "only joking" in brackets afterwards, rather like he did when he suggested his face should be added to the presidents' carvings on Mount Rushmore.

She was a third rate jewellery designer, so she’s bound to be good at international trade negotiation.

Not sure speaking French is a plus - remember what they said about John Kerry

crazyH Thu 11-Jul-19 23:38:26

And she speaks French ?

She is my tip for a Presidential candidate to take over from Donald in 2024!

To be fair, she wears very pretty pink dresses, has shiny blonde hair and perfect teeth #bekindtoIvanka
