While First Daughter Ivanka Trump is setting up an office in the White House and seeking national security clearance, Cosmopolitan magazine is calling her out for nepotism. Amanda Carpenter of Cosmo writes: “…it makes everything Ivanka has done up to this point to position herself as an example for working women into a farce.” Cosmo acknowledges that Ms. Trump is not being given a salary or title so she’s not violating federal nepotism laws but of course she doesn’t need a salary or title “a stunning symbol of privilege in itself.”
The article, “Ivanka Trump’s White House Gig Is an Insult to working Women,” concludes that she’s in the White House because “her daddy let her” and “we shouldn’t celebrate anyone for whom that is [the case].”
