Ivanka Trumps company publishes blog post insisting her brand has nothing to with her father

‘Our message is not political


Ivanka Trump is trying to distance her company from her father, insisting the brand has nothing to do with the President-elect - in the wake of a series of controversies related to conflicts of interest and his divisive campaign.

The 35-year-old was recently blasted for promoting the $10,000 bracelet from her own collection that she wore on CBS’ 60 Minutes which she had worn during her family’s first interview since Donald Trump won the White House.

She had already been the target of an online campaign calling for a boycott of her brand after a tape surfaced in which her father bragged about sexually assaulting women.

So, in a blog post from her editorial team published on her website on Wednesday, her company vowed to stay out of politics.

The Rebel Flag line. Imagine the possibilities.

Rebel Flag belt buckles, shoes, and even a perfume line.

No her, mind you - her company.

Yet she is her company. So...

Lie.

Shouldn't have lied for daddy on the campaign trail if you wanted to be "above politics."
