Looks like Ivanka Trump inherited more than shedloads of money from her father, because her impeccable sense of timing is once again under the microscope following another tone-deaf tweet.

It didn’t work out well when she pretended to be a scientist, and the same can be said for her Women’s Day tribute.

This time around it’s a Sunday morning picture that looks innocuous, but really stinks when you dig a little deeper.

The tweet:

So she enjoyed a Sunday morning with her spawn – so what?

Well, if you’ve been paying attention to one of the weekend’s biggest stories, that’s not a luxury that thousands of other parents get to enjoy.

This from the Guardian:

An online backlash greeted Ivanka Trump on Sunday, after the president’s daughter tweeted a picture of herself cuddling her two-year-old son at the same time widespread news reports detailed children being taken from their mothers by US border agents…

Previously, families suspected of crossing the border illegally were allowed to stay together until their cases were resolved. In early May, attorney general Jeff Sessions announced a “zero tolerance” policy on illegal immigration.

…the Department of Health and Human services had lost track of almost 1,500 migrant children placed with US sponsors after showing up at the border alone.

That’s right – the government has just ‘lost’ 1 500 children, and they seem rather OK with that.

The backlash to Ivanka’s tweet was immediate:

Brian Klaas, a fellow at the London School of Economics and former Democratic strategist, wrote: “This is so unbelievably tone deaf, given that public outrage is growing over young kids being forcibly ripped from the arms of their parents at the border – a barbaric policy that Ivanka Trump is complicit in supporting.”

There are thousands of those comments, but you get the drift.

The same can be said for her Instagram post, by the way.

So what did the Donald have to say about the story breaking? Well, he tried to blame the Democrats, despite the fact that all of this happened as a result of a law that he himself signed into being:

If you’re going to tear families apart to win over voters, at least have the balls to own up to what you’re doing.

Also, “there” parents. Your president, America.

Then again, don’t forget that his aides intentionally make spelling errors to appeal to his voter base and seem more ‘authentic’.

One more Trump tweet before we go, which most of the world is still trying to make sense of:

Stars in their eyes.
