A sobering thought for you: Ivanka Trump has been given an office in the West Wing of the White House and a security clearance that allows her to receive classified information, intelligence that is monitored on her “government-issued communications device.” It’s the vagueness of her role, though, that irks people the most (what is a fashion saleslady doing sitting next to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a “robust discussion” about foreign relations?) which is why Scarlett Johansson’s Saturday Night Live parody of the President’s daughter went down so well with audiences last month. Well, audiences that didn’t include America’s First Family.
Titled “Complicit”, the skit questioned how Ivanka is exactly a representative of a feminist or a champion for women. “Complicit: the fragrance for the woman who could stop all of this, but won’t. Also available in a cologne for Jared,” Johansson’s voiceover reads.
Trump responded in an interview with CBS News’s Gayle King. “‘If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit,’’ Trump said. ‘‘I don’t know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I am doing.”
“I hope time will prove that I have done a good job and, much more importantly, that my father’s administration is the success that I know it will be.”
