So in your universe huge political favors are required to get trademarks to make handbags?Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

I love it. Typical liberal news story. All innuendo and accusations, but they did put in this disclaimer: "There’s no hard evidence that Ivanka’s trademark approval was related to the Chinese president’s trip to Mar-a-Lago."
sheesh, the depths these reporters will go to to create fake news.

I lived in China nine years and knew a number of executives of companies do in business in China, and trying to do business. If you do not pay through the nose, and sacrifice your ethics, you do not succeed. General Motors and Chrysler took the high road, and are not really succeeded . BMW and Volkswagun paid through the nose for influence, and dominate the market in China in their cars and other vehicles.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

That said, I don't care if Trump's presidency smoothed over the process - it seems to me snubbing Ivanka would be a bad political move for the Chinese.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

Surely you liberals can come up with some legitimate criticisms of Trump. Heck, his supporters might even end up agreeing with you. But peddling this fake news crap? That just destroys your credibility.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

This whole thing is over a few handbags?

What do you mean this is made up? Its all over NPR and ABC. Its not fake news. she sold her trade mark to the chinese while she was in a position of power. First her position is illegal. second she sells it and stands to benefit from it and any royalties gained. She shouldn't be in the White house as a paid employee in the 1st place much less making money off private business. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-w...trump-productsA happy family is but an earlier heaven.
