Why Is Ivanka Trump Still Working In The White House?

There is never any hesitation on my part when it comes to shaming President Trump’s favorite offspring, and “senior advisor,” Ivanka Trump.

From her annoyingly breathy voice that got a lot firmer once she became comfortably situated in the House of her dreams, to her active Twitter feed, where daily deposits of her sheathed in designer duds, strutting into elaborately staged meetings about stuff she knows nothing about — it’s hard to imagine a better actress for the constant fakery on display.

Ivanka represents the revolting imagery of White privilege at its very worst, and when you couple that with the lethal brand of feminism that is systemically revered for its ability to utilize the tools of Whiteness to the disadvantage of non-White women, you end up with a formidable combination, that blatantly illustrates how the first daughter has been able to escape the wrath of well-positioned critics, who’ve been notoriously blind and silent.

When it was confirmed that “Javanka” would be following President-elect Donald Trump to Washington D.C., and had already secured their lavish home in the neighborhood of their choosing, the rumblings began, but eventually tapered off after the utter chaos of a toxic administration began to take shape, and the blaring warning signs of impending doom swiftly unfolded.
