Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, said she would play no role in her father’s administration – but she’s still getting her own space in the White House.
It gets weirder.
According to her attorney Jamie Gorelick, Ivanka will provide advice and serve as her father’s “eyes and ears,” Politico reports.
Gorelick admitted that having an adult child “actively engaged in the work of the administration” is new. He said she will “voluntarily comply” to the same rules as if she were an official employee, even though she isn’t.
But people have a few questions:
If she has no role, why does she need an office? #CovertNepotism https://t.co/RI6nS0wTEs— Pat aka Dr.P, DNP (@Pat aka Dr.P, DNP) 1490065336

Others saw the positives:

But there were some people who resorted to sarcasm:
