Not to mention a plunging neckline next to sizzling steaks.

That dress was off white when she started cooking and now weighs ten times what it did when it was white.

[GoCubsGo]

She running for something?

[Vrede too]

She running for something?

Image rehab, penance, getting away from Jared, subtle dig at FG daddy's anti-Ukraine actions?

Hmmmm.......that almost assumes she has some sort of moral compass.

[neoplacebo]

She running for something?

I will summarize:
Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night.
On the way the paperback was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight.
I'm back in the USSR.
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Been away so long I hardly knew the place.
Gee, it's good to be back home.
Oh, show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south.
Take me to your daddy's farm.
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out.
Come and keep your comrade warm.

She would not look as photogenic holding a balalaika.

[Vrede too]

... She would not look as photogenic holding a balalaika.

So far, I'm unconvinced by her actions. However, she would look pretty hot with a Javelin launcher and a burning Russian tank in the background.

Well, she's banned from engaging in any sort of charity work in NY. This is likely a case of crass self promotion. I'd be more impressed if she sent a big check and left the details to competent people. Self promotion is the operative concept here.

Agreed, but self promotion to what end? To be fair, I'll bet that her visit included a big check. It would be pretty rude otherwise and we would hear about it. I think she could teach charity guitar in NY as long as she's not fundraising, but they moved to FL anyhow.

I'll take that bet.

I'll bet it didn't.

Self promotion is an end in itself. That's what this whole family has been doing for decades. And yes we would "hear about it" but we haven't. Nobody's going to say I didn't get any money and I expect that if she had brought a check that would be one of the highlights of the entire event. I guess we'll see.

Some donations are made with the expectation of secrecy. However, if a filthy rich woman showed up for a photo op serving veggies when there's no shortage of servers and without donating a dime IMO people will feel exploited and someone will gripe. Why not donate? Tens of thousands of $$$ is pocket change to her. I could be wrong, and I'd still rather see her firing Stingers or donating APCs.

Hominy, if you want to think the trumps donate to anything anonymously you can keep on believing it. They would never do that. Hell, they've proven to have said they donated to causes and kept the fucking money; even had to pay millions in fines because of it. I consider the entire family scum.

... Since March, Trump has continued to be involved in several efforts to support Ukrainians in need.

CityServe says she's purchased and executed the distribution of a million meals into Ukraine as well as delivering five cargo planes worth of requested medical supplies that were delivered to hospitals and clinics throughout Ukraine....

May or may not have cut additional checks on this visit, but I'm guessing that she did.

(Jared's) paternal grandparents, Reichel and Joseph Kushner, were Holocaust survivors who came to the U.S. in 1949 from Navahrudak, now in Belarus.

So, there's a regional familial connection.

During the Holocaust, Reichel led efforts to escape from the Navahrudak Ghetto by digging a tunnel, and later became a member of the Bielski partisans.

Damn.

The Navahrudak Ghetto was established in December 1941 in Navahrudak, in the Byelorussian SSR (present-day Belarus), during the Holocaust. Almost all of its residents were killed - only 350 survived, and 10,000 perished.

Yeah, I thought that Jewish survivors in Belarus were pretty rare. Reichel and Joseph would be disgusted that their grandson is so close with antisemite-courting 45SHOLE.

I don't know anything about CityServe other than it was founded in 2015 and its website lists no obvious trump allied names in its list of directors, advisers, etc. I don't see anything anonymous about her efforts or activities in the link; what I see is self promotion of CityServe with honorable mentions for her. I will concede that she is the least repulsive of the trump scum pond but that's as far as I'll go.

born one tippytoe from home plate and completely absorbed in her own greatness of having hit a homer.
every time she presented herself on a world stage for trump she was the ultimate empty suit. she's proven herself to be the caricature of a dumb blonde. Her talents are walking like a model and presenting herself like a fashion queen.

She'll be appointed governor somewhere within 10 years.

Anonymous giving was merely idle speculation on my part based on GoCubsGo and you stating that you'd not heard about any donations in her own tweets about the visit. Then, I've made no claims about her motives or her relative repulsiveness. My central point from the start was that it made no sense to me that a fat cat like Ivanka would be there playing guitar and serving food without having cut a big check, and that someone would have bitched if there wasn't giving.

... To be fair, I'll bet that her visit included a big check. It would be pretty rude otherwise and we would hear about it....

I'll take that bet.

I'll bet it didn't.

Well, it turns out that she's (probably) donated a million meals and five cargo planes of medical supplies, along with any associated cash. That's a much bigger check than I was guessing, and it buys a lot of recipient toleration for photo ops.

Donated a couple of months ago....

Taking a bow today because she didn't get enough PR? Anyone think it's altruism?

The medical supplies must have been less than a couple of months ago since your links don't mention them. Is it "Taking a bow" if she doesn't cite her donations in her tweets? I just guessed at them, then we had to search for mentions.

My link said something about CityServe inviting her. I guess that's a 'Thank you' while promoting themselves. My thinking all along has been more about what donees will tolerate than it has been about ascribing motives or praise to a Trump.

I wouldn't be entirely as harsh as your first link. Sure, fat cats boast about their giving for selfish purposes, but they also do so to inspire/shame other fat cats into giving.

Your second link:

... A source close to Trump told Fox News that she has a "very personal connection" to the conflict in Ukraine, with her mother Ivana Trump growing up in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia.

Trump’s 96-year-old grandmother Marie Zenicova, who lives with her in Florida, still teaches her children to "treasure our freedoms," the source said....

Another regional familial connection.
