Ivanka Trump Has an Army of White House Employees Scrambling to Address Her Every Need
Source: Newsweek
Ever wonder how many government employees, employee hours and bits of correspondence it takes to get an hour and a half of Ivanka Trump’s time at a public event?
A new cache of hundreds of emails obtained from the Department of Education (DOE) through the Freedom of Information Act shows that for one brief event at the Air & Space Museum in March, at least 21 employees and at least 150 emails were required to arrange President Donald Trump’s daughter’s presence. The emails were obtained by the nonprofit American Oversight and shared exclusively with Newsweek.
The staff hours, angst and emailing that goes into putting a political “principal” like White House Senior Adviser Ivanka Trump on stage at any event in Washington is always an exercise in theatrical production and people-management skills, what with the squads of coat-brushing, purse-holding, door-opening flunkies fighting for facetime. But in this case, it required the mobilization of at least 21 government employees (some of the emails were fully redacted) to choreograph less than an hour in the schedule of a woman who was not yet an official employee (who happened to be the president’s daughter). And high-ranking DOE staff were happy to oblige.
The emails offer a window into the genesis of a typical federal agency publicity event, this one ostensibly arranged to inform the public about the administration’s interest in STEM for girls. It was attended by mostly African American, local schoolchildren and featured a screening of the hit movie Shadow Figures plus short remarks from Betsy DeVos, Ivanka Trump and a female NASA astronaut, Kathryn (Kay) Hire.

...should be sent packing. And, she should do her own packing.
as a young teen, you can see that she has had extensive plastic surgery. Not bashing, just pointing out that without prolly ~100K in procedures, she would look completely average.
Also, can you only imagine the puke reaction if Chelsea had assumed such a position under President Clinton, and then tied up so many gov't employees to make her look good? Heads would explode. Yet we are supposed to just sit back and think it's OK for iwanna? No chance. Just another outrage by this maladmin.
