For Ivanka.
At what point do the conservatives stand up against this stuff? Maybe ponder what you would say if this was Chelsea?
Quote:SHANGHAI (AP) — On April 6, Ivanka Trump's company won provisional approval from the Chinese government for three new trademarks, giving it monopoly rights to sell Ivanka brand jewelry, bags and spa services in the world's second-largest economy. That night, the first daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, sat next to the president of China and his wife for a steak and Dover sole dinner at Mar-a-Lago
Ivanka's biz prospers as politics mixes with business
Or was this all just a coincidence?

And that's the million dollar answer as to why we need to totally take away these potential conflicts. So we don't have to assume anything and we just know that nothing untoward it taking place. That's what we should be demanding of our government employees, right?

China is bad about ignoring trademarks and other business rights. I doubt it was a coincidence (whether on the Chinese part or if Trump actually discussed it, but it might be a good sign for business overall.

Who knows? Lots of more important things to worry about than what Ivanka is trying to sell in China. Need to prioritize, my friend, and don't sweat the small stuff.

Not sweating anything...but I don't want my political leaders enriching themselves from foreign countries while in office because it's just wrong. That's why it's in the Constitution.

If it's legal, then let it be. If it's legal, then the complaint should be directed elsewhere.

She works in the White House and is an adviser to the president. I think she also has a security clearance as well.
