'Stick to selling shoes Ivanka. We do not need a privileged twit like you advising us on North Korea or world peace,' Teresa Grier tweeted.
Social media users took to Twitter on Sunday to mock first daughter Ivanka Trump after a viral video showed the senior White House adviser attempting and failing to insert herself into a conversation among world leaders at the Group of 20 in Osaka, Japan over the weekend.
The brief video clip, released by the French government, shows Ivanka being shunned while attempting to join a conversation between British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron and International Monetary Fund leader Christine Lagarde. During the group's discussion on"social justice," May can be heard saying"as soon as you begin talking about the economic aspect of it, though, a lot of people start listening who otherwise wouldn't listen." This comment prompts Ivanka to say"yeah." She then begins interjecting about"defense" as Lagarde, who was standing beside Trump, can be seen rolling her eyes before turning back to the world leaders to continue their discussion.
As President Donald Trump met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to discuss reviving trade talks, both Ivanka Trump and her husband White House senior adviser Jared Kushner were at the negotiating table. After the video of Ivanka was released, it quickly went viral, prompting widespread ridicule on Twitter."It may be shocking to some, but being someone's daughter actually isn't a career qualification," Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted."It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on. The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn't hurt either.
