Ivanka Trump Facing Backlash After Dressing Like a Queen During Taxpayer-Funded 3-Day Trip to Morocco
White House adviser Ivanka Trump spent the week in Morocco to promote women’s economic empowerment in the North African country.
Donald Trump’s daughter was welcomed by Princess Lalla Meryem and Morocco’s foreign minister Wednesday during an airport meeting in the capital of Rabat.
During the three-day visit, Ivanka Trump promoted the U.S. government’s Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative.
Launched in February, the program aims to help 50 million women in developing nations advance economically over the next six years.
Ivanka Trump is traveling with Sean Cairncross, CEO of the Millennium Challenge Corp., an independent U.S. foreign aid agency that’s working with the Moroccan government to promote economic growth, reduce poverty and strengthen institutions.

The trip comes after Morocco updated land rights laws that critics say shortchange women.
Ivanka has been busy promoting herself on Twitter, from the time she departed to Morocco:

We saw photos of people actually kissing the hands of Ivanka:
“President Donald Trump’s daughter and White House adviser saw real life examples in Morocco on Thursday when she met four women who are benefiting from changes that allow them to own land.” #WGDP 🇺🇸🇲🇦 https://t.co/3H2hcRoveo

Ivanka tried to debrief us with her whispery-baby voice, but I still have no idea why she is spending so much taxpayer money:
2 days, 5 deliverables, 1 incredible W-GDP trip to Morocco! #WGDP

America actually fought a big ol’ war so we wouldn’t have royalty, and Twitter was pretty pissed off that Ivanka is overseas playing princess:
I just can't. This has to stop.
THIS is what 1776 Founders tried to prevent. Imperial Presidency.#USA #NotAMonarchy #Trump #Ivanka https://t.co/KYpyjpBTP5— 60°north (@AKWHITEROOM) November 9, 2019
This unelected bureaucrat is also guilty of running a fraudulent charity. https://t.co/EaeHxaCY7r

Grifter putting on airs. She portrays herself as a golden princess. In reality, every thread she wears and the space she occupies are ill-gotten, generated by fraud, theft and lies. This is crime dressed up for the night on your dollar. https://t.co/uZ99vEOOGn

Why is Ivanka representing us on the foreign stage?
It is time she is investigated for EVERYTHING she has done since Trump has been in office. Every single taxpayer penny funded trip should be looked into. What is she doing, did she profit personally from the trip…@tedlieu https://t.co/lfsZ8xPyki

Remember Ivanka Trump along with her father and two brothers stole money from a charity that was donated to for veterans. Let me say it again – stole money from needy veterans and cancer children.She is parading around Morocca like a Queen spending your money https://t.co/qM45tEC6Ub
