Ivanka's dirty secret in Panama
Ivanka is a prop in one hell of a sordid, international con. This report in Think Progress is astounding. The Trumps are more corrupt than I fully realized. Their oily ways are Biblical in scale:

The presidents and his daughters Panamanian construct, Trump Ocean Beach, was once described by Ivanka as her familys largest project in all of the Americas.
In a report published last week, Global Witness details how the building to which Trump leased his name helped launder proceeds from Colombian cartels narcotics trafficking. And as Global Witness found, Donald Trump himself was one of the beneficiaries of such laundering practices. Information available from a bonds sales prospectus revealed that the Trump Organization would see revenue from every unit sold at Trump Ocean Club.
Even if Trump and Ivanka were somehow unaware that the building served as a spigot for laundering cartel cash, it would have been difficult to miss the signs that Trump Ocean Club set up during the years that Panama came into its own as an offshore haven was being used for money laundering on a massive scale.

None of the Trump/Kushner Crime Syndicate deals are nor have ever been legit. And almost 40% of the American people & 80% of Republicans still support that Orange horror. Shame.
