For reasons never quite understood, the media adores Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Hillary and Wild Bill.
The Clinton Heiress has recently become active on Twitter, and is seen as a “resistance” leader against Donald Trump.
What are her qualifications to take on Trump? Well, marrying a Wall Street banker and being the daughter of a philandering president.
So, yeah, her skill-set is severely lacking in her self-appointed role as guardian of the republic.
Over the weekend, during the G20 summit between world leaders, Donald Trump stepped away during a meeting while his daughter, White House adviser Ivanka, took his seat.
This set off a firestorm in the media:
Why the hell is Ivanka Trump sitting in for daddy at G20 meetings?! What are her qualifications? Who voted for her?

Because an unelected, unqualified, unprepared New York socialite is the best person to represent American national interests https://t.co/hmRCfwebCc

Follow-up thought: it's telling that no one in the US delegation — including Ivanka — thought this was a bad idea. https://t.co/dhwtri5fhk

This is a load of phooey. Presidents use surrogates and stand-ins all the time. Ivanka is an Administration official and was part of the U.S. delegation. That the blue check mark gang on Twitter went nuts over this shows just how far down the hole of Trump Derangement Syndrome they have fallen.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended Ivanka, saying, “The delegations themselves decide, should the president not be present for a meeting, who will then take over and sit in the chair. Ivanka Trump was part and parcel of the American delegation, so that is something that other delegations also do. It’s very well known that she works at the White House and is also engaged in certain initiatives.”
President Trump also addressed the matter on Twitter:
When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

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!

And then along comes Chelsea Clinton doing what she does best: Offering an opinion when nobody asked her to.
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. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c

That’s cute, real cute.
Chelsea Clinton was a teenager when her parents were in the White House. Of course they would have never asked her for advice on world affairs.
When Chelsea came of age, however, she did serve as Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation. Clearly, her parents trusted her to weigh in on international matters. Had she been Ivanka’s age in the White House, it’s not hard to imagine Bill and Hillary putting her in a position of authority.
Trump is right. The media has a disgusting love affair with Chelsea Clinton. They also have an unnatural hatred of the Trump family.
It’s sickening that the media’s bias is so prominent, but that’s what happens when a president fights back against the lying press.
Share this story if you’re sick and tired of Chelsea Clinton criticizing President Trump!
