At the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Ivanka Trump was spotted taking her daddy’s seat and all hell broke loose on social media.
Criticisms ranged from we did not vote for Ivanka to accusations about Trump running a family business. Americans did not spare Trump at all.
Then daddy came back and gave them a good talking to with this retort:
When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!

To which Americans jumped up in protest. Here’s what they think of Trump and the family dynasty he’s building and Chelsea Clinton versus the Trump children:
In which America?

Wrong. Media would have criticized Hillary too.

Quit the family feud
It's beyond time for the president to end his obsession with losing the popular vote to Hillary & focus on proper governance.

To be clear, Ivanka wasn't wrong in sitting in Trump's seat 'coz she's part of the administration team. A President can ask any member…

…And the nepotism
…of his team to deputize for him in meetings where he isn't present. BUT, the reason this became a huge issue is the constant nepotism…

…that is seen in Trump's administration, where ill-qualified people of his family are wielding influential roles. That's unethical.

Chelsea Clinton claps back:
Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c
