Ivanka Trump Briefed South Korea President On North Korea Sanctions...

Ivanka Trump Briefed South Korea President On North Korea Sanctions Despite Reportedly Lacking Permanent Security Clearance

First daughter Ivanka Trump briefed South Korea’s president on new North Korea sanctions her father imposed on Friday—despite reportedly lacking permanent security clearance typically required to access classified information.

The first daughter was informed of the President Donald Trump’s sanctions targeting North Korea's shipping and trading companies and vessels before meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin according to CNN.

"She has been part of the team. She had dinner with President Moon and had a private discussion in advance about this occurring and this has been an interagency process," Mnuchin said.

But asked if she had the appropriate security clearance in order to carry out such a task, Mnuchin dodged the core of the question. “She has the appropriate access to brief the president," he said.

Jared is the go between on Mexico and apparently the Middle East, Junior is minister of the Trump Corporation to India and Ivanka is negotiating with the South Koreans.
WTF is this?

Who in the state department is allowing these moronic know-nothings to do our bidding abroad? None of them were elected and they are completely unqualified. We'd be better off sending a friendly Golden Retriever than we are sending these imbeciles.

Seriously, they would go over the edge with anger. Frankly, I'm pretty pissed that they are acting like a third-world military state.

How much humiliation must this country endure before these garbage-people are gone. I cannot believe he is president. How many years will it take to bring our country back to something we can be proud of.

"So like, since you both like use chopsticks, can't you like totally get along? And have you seen my new line of Eurasian clothing manufactured in Chinese sweatshops?"

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

And if Chelsea Clinton or either Obama sister did the same thing (which they're all infinitely more qualified for), the Pukes would have exploded.
