BY COLIN TAYLOR
POLITICS | PUBLISHED ON AUGUST 11, 2017
Yesterday, President Trump announced he would be once again dispatching his daughter Ivanka to represent the United States at a major international summit, this time deploying his favorite unelected and unqualified daughter to India for a conference on womens entrepreneurship.
An Indian diplomat clearly did not approve of Trumps decision to send his daughter rather than anyone who actually has some kind of conception of the socioeconomic barriers that women struggle with around the world, and made an apt comparison to the Hindustan Times thats sure to have the First Daughter steaming:
We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. Its in our national interest to flatter them. Yes, it is a shame that the US should be compared to a kingdom. But that is Americas shame, not [Indian Prime Minister Naendra] Modis, or Indias.
The comparison to the spoiled scions of the House of Saud is particularly appropriate, seeing as both Ivanka Trump and the Saudis freely exploit underpaid workers who toil in slave-like conditions.
Ivanka Trump is particularly unsuited for the womens entrepreneur summit since she was handed everything in life on a silver platter and clearly does not take a strong interest in helping tear down the obstacles facing women in even the American workplace.
