Ivanka Trump announces closure of namesake fashion brand

Goodbye  ̶F̶e̶l̶i̶c̶i̶a̶ Ivanka

Tiniest violin in the world.

my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington

Talk about silver spoon.

convenient considering it's been pulled from every major chain already

She should NOT be volunteering/working in govt at all. I'd rather she kept the company and left Washington.

Just too many conflicts of interest across the entire Trump family. None of them should be volunteering in any govt role and none of them should have any clearances ... er ... except the elected President.

Qualifications? NONE. Experience? NONE. Ability? NONE. Background in government? NONE.

Its nice to see some good news every now and then.

Rakuten reports sales have fallen 45%. I wonder if that is because her stuff is all made in China. Trump supporters hate that.

How about exiting the nepotistic “job” at the White House and taking Jared Kushner with you?

Maybe she is having trouble with her manufactor in China.

The trade war with China, falling sales so she decides to cut and run before her brand sinks.

Wow... only this one? The others are still protected from the tariffs Trump put on China so far, though, since they Don't Believe in making things in the US themselves.

Kinda reminds me of how Trump tweeted yesterday that Russia would weigh in on the Dem side in the midterms - he knows his side will lose yugely and is already baking an excuse.

Same with Ivanka: Better to get off the horse before it bucks you. Chains are dropping her brand rapidly, and who in the Trump family wants to be a loser? (Although her husband Jared and his involvement with 666 Park Avenue is quite more complicated....)

"After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington."

What work? Quit politics, and go back to being Kardashian-light please...
