Ivanka's Fashion And Lifestyle Brand Going Out Of Business

First Daughter Ivanka Trump, both a national sex symbol and a symbol of nepotism in government, is closing her eponymous fashion brand in order to concentrate on her "important" work in the White House. 

It was not immediately clear if the fact that certain retailers have removed her brand from their shelves, and that her products are all made overseas and thus susceptible to criticism in this day of tariffs and trade wars, has much to do with the decision to end her product line. 

Well, anyway, now that she is relieved of the responsibility of being a fashion mogul, she can go back to the family business of bribing foreign governments to grease the way for new Trump Inc. condos and office towers.

She is a lovely lady.  Well, if her business is closing, you won't be able to complain about that.  I'm sure you'll find something else to whine about when it comes to her.

Ivanka.  Nice T&A.  Saw her on a few interviews.  Definitely not a Mensa candidate.  Especially like the clip of her and her dad when she 15 or 16 and her dad told the host that he, "Would like to date her."  Ivanka laughed with a sultry blush.  It was and still is beautiful.

I actually think she's smarter than her dad. Must take after her mother in the looks and the brains department

"Smarter than her dad."  Uh---------------the comparison is weak and although perhaps accurate in some shade of a degree, a reasonable facsimile would be like bailing a bucket of water out of the sinking Titanic.

I knew it as soon as the letters flew off my fingers....someone would make that comparison. :)

True, her hypocrisy won't be as glaringly apparent anymore. She was advocating for American workers telling others to hire America but had all of her goods produced over seas. If she wasn't such a monumental hypocrite, just like her father, she wouldn't have closed her business, she would have repatriated her production and paid American workers to make her goods. Of course she would have taken a big hit in profits since she wouldn't be able to use the cheap labor she has been, but that would have actually made it look like she believed the rhetoric she's been trying to sell.

Just what kind of important work does she do in the WH?

She did tweet about how wonderful it was that her dad ended the practice of separating parents and children at the border. 

She forgot to mention in that tweet that he is the one who initiated it back in April, but we can't have everything from her.

This is awesome.  Maybe some people will stop whining about how successful she is.

I have to admit that Ivanka Trump is a hot looking woman.  Other than that, I'm not sure what she is supposed to be good for.  Owning sweat shops?

You sure pretend to know.  She is making a smart move, you won't be able to use her as an evil political figure the way everyone else can use Chelsea anymore LMFAO!!!!  Oh right, you always ignored her "grey areas" anyhow didn't you?

Ripping off other peoples designs probably didn't help.

Being associated with the Trump name can't be good for any business except for those on the receiving end of violations of the emoluments clause.    But once he's out of office that will come to a screeching halt too.

Didn't she and Jared have income of $$83million from investments and dividends? 

A careful couple could learn to 'get by' on that kind of income..../s

Expect both of them, with kids in tow, to immigrate to Israel.  Permanently.

I dunno....83 million doesn't buy the same kind of luxuries it did 20 years ago.....

You'd really have to scrimp to get by on a paltry $83 million.

You never know. After Trump gets the boot he might just be popular enough in the mid west for him to build "Trumpland" which will be a gold painted Dollywood where half wits and the poorly educated can go spend their minimum wages and welfare checks on more gold plated kitsch with Trumps name gaudily emblazoned on it. While Disneyland is known for being the "Happiest Place on Earth", Trumpland will be the "Tackiest Place on Earth".

Good move on her part.  While she certainly ran a successful fashion business, it's at odds with the MAGA agenda given the White House policies. 

The daily hypocrisy surrounding where Ivanka's line is produced vs the current trade wars entered by the President is coming to an end...I'm applauding.

Her credibility may be restored surrounding family leave and other issues she supports.
