Plus I believe David Muir on ABC news couple nights ago reported about her hawking her Repub convention dress online and then hawking the bracelet she wore to an interview meeting during campaign

Clearly knock-offs--it's like Ivanka didn't even try to be original. So no.

and support an extremely unpopular president. That close association has done irreparable damage to her business and her brand. Ivanka has no one to blame but herself as she made this decision.

Daddy did. They are so tied to him that they had no choice. I wonder if they were really even asked. Donnie Jr. Is fully in (what else could he do?) but Eric never looked like he wanted to be anywhere near it. Ivanka? The clothes thing always seemed like a front to not look TOO Dependent on Daddy. Huge markups on clothes too.

3 months removed from their bubble. Trump himself was lord and ruler of that tiny little world. Before the campaign he was "the talent" on a TV show which means he was coddled and glorified endlessly in that world. Once the campaign started he was THE focus of everyone's attention 24/7.

What every rational person thought was some degree an act really was a tame version of what we are seeing now.

Yes they had contact with others but really they could always retreat into the bubble.

That being said...I have seen a great deal of disgustingly vulgar insinuations implying sexual abuse perpetrated by her father upon her. I think THAT is way out of line. She's open game regarding HER behavior as an adult...but going after her near her children or posting stuff about possible sexual abuse as a child to get at her father also harms her and it's not her fault that her father is a disgusting pervert.

Child sexual abuse is an awful, awful thing and to throw it around like it has been hurts those who have been through that experience. Some things really are off limits because they just are, IMO.

I can't think of anything they've done that was abusive at all.
