TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “President Donald Trump took to Twitter Monday [7-10-17] morning to defend his daughter Ivanka, who faced criticism this weekend as she briefly took his seat at the Group of 20 Summit.
‘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 tweeted.
‘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!’ he added.
Clinton quickly responded on Twitter: ‘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.’
Ivanka Trump has not yet commented about the incident.”
