Liberals are foaming at the mouth over First Daughter Ivanka Trump’s appearance at the G20 summit.
While the host of the summit, Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, said there was no reason for the uproar, Dems couldn’t miss a chance criticize the Trumps.
But President Donald Trump rushed to Ivanka’s defense, tweeting:
When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

He followed up the tweet with a reference to the mainstream media’s bias against him, and slammed Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton in the process.
If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!

Chelsea was quick to respond, claiming her perfect parents would never do such a thing:
Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c

A Russian delegate tweeted the photo Ivanka in her father’s seat at the summit in Hamburg, Germany, Saturday, sparking the criticism from the left.
Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters slammed the First Daughter’s intelligence, saying, “She cannot in any way deal with those members who are representing those countries. She doesn’t know anything about these issues.
Even members of Former President Barack Obama’s administration jumped into the fight.
U.S. ambassador to Russia under Obama, Michael McFaul tweeted:
This is strange. Very strange https://t.co/2vmuMTMzcB

While Chelsea and other liberals can’t fathom how Ivanka would contribute to the international discussion, German Chancellor Angela Merkel brushed it off, saying it was perfectly normal.
Merkel told reported, “Ivanka Trump was part and parcel of the American delegation, so that is something that other delegations also do. It’s very well known that she works at the White House and is also engaged in certain initiatives.”
