Secretary of State Rex Tillerson apparently is sick of the Trump monarchy that is the current White House, and he’s engaging in a little bit of passive-aggressive protest.
Princess Ivanka is jetting off to India to attend the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Summit. This year’s summit will focus on women’s entrepreneurship – Ivanka’s pet project – and she was invited by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June.
In the past, administration officials as high up as Secretary of State John Kerry or even President Obama have attended the summit. This year, however, the State Department won’t be sending any senior officials.
The reason being, Secretary Tillerson doesn’t want to make Ivanka seem like a more important part of the administration than she is, as a supposed “unpaid” adviser.

Good. She doesn’t represent the US in any diplomatic capacity. And while Ivanka may technically be “unpaid,” I’m reasonably sure we taxpayers foot the bill for her “expenses.” Enough of this. Voters elected a president, not a royal family.
If Ivanka wants to go, she should pay her own way out of Daddy’s allowance.
She’s raising money for her private women’s entrepreneur fund and using the taxpayers to foot the bill for her travel expenses. How nice for her.
