Ivanka Trump to Move into White House - Will Serve Hostess Function

Washington, DC

Plans are being made for Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka, to move into the White House to fill the most of the roles normally taken by the First Lady. Acting as official hostess for the President, she will have a wide range of responsibilities in the Trump Administration, although, as a family member, she won't be paid. If and when Trump's actual legal wife, Melania, decides to move to DC from her plush NYC penthouse, roles may shift, however. For the time being, however, she will remain in the Trump Tower apartment. A robust Secret Service detail will make sure she is safe and out of public view, while blocking streets and disrupting New York City traffic.

President Elect Trump said of Ivanka, "Look at her! She's a knockout! Who wouldn't want her in the White House. She'll do a tremendous job, you'll see, and I'll always have her nearby when I need her. A doting father's dream, believe me!"

she indeed does act like his defacto wife.

It is completely creepy.
BUT.
On the other hand...I thought she was going to run the not-so-blind trust?
I guess it is more convenient to be right there to meet with the heads of states.

Christ welcome to this shit show.

In fact, it's rather hard to satirize Donald Trump. He might do anything. But, I keep trying.

Then we have "The Handmaid's Tale" instead of "It."

Horrifying choices. LOL!

Melania might be pissed off because she learned that the National Enquirer was sitting on a story about her husband having an affair while she was pregnant. Or maybe she is pissed because of his commenets on the Billy Bush tape. Or both.

I wouldn't be surprised if she spends very little time in DC.

Normally, I do not blatantly label my satirical writing, but it is so difficult to satirize Donald Trump and his antics that a clear indicator is needed.

Fake news does not do that. It leaves out the signals that something isn't real.

When you consider that most people read only perhaps 25 to 50% of an article online to get the gist of something it is absolutely the right thing to let them know ahead of time that what they're reading is a fabrication. To do it at the end leads me to believe other motives are at play.
