Ivanka Trump took her father's place at a Saudi evening Twitter forum on social media. (He was a no-show, no explanation given.)

There she talked about the 'great Saudi entrepreneurs' she had met throughout the day and marveled that the Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology was built in just 30 days.

'That is entrepreneurialism,' she cheered. 'And I may need to borrow those contractors for our next construction project, maybe infrastructure, it was incredibly impressive and the message was very meaningful.'

"Our new construction project?" I thought she had resigned her position with Trump Org., leaving the running of it to her brothers. [More..]

The Saudis and the UAE touted a $100 million contribution to a World Bank fund for empowerment of women, an idea Ivanka is credited with inspiring. But there seems to be some disparate messaging over her continued involvement in the fund. If Ivanka is involved in raising money for the fund or deciding on distribution of the money, it would be a huge ethical problem. More on that here.
