    How little vetting must have gone into the decision? Dubious claims of being an attorney aside, if they had done any sort of mock press conference her complete lack of public speaking ability should have been evident.

        I don’t want to stick up for Ivanka since she is a garbage person but Katie looks like Temu Ivanka. Or like if you were going to make a porn that’s thinly veiled Ivanka fanfic. I’m not even a fashion girlie but that girl looks kind of a mess. Like she just rolled out of bed, smeared on some brows without her glasses and stumbled up to the podium. Don’t get me wrong, their insides will always be the ugliest insides ever, but those outsides are no prize. I’ve legit seen junkies on the onramp who looked more put together.

          Trump isn’t a fashion person. He doesn’t care about fashion or how “put together” she looks. She’s a thin, blonde, white woman with similar enough features to his daughter. Close enough for Trump

          Now that you mention it, I saw a junkie outside the WAWA In Ft Lauderdale that was way hotter, but emotionally the same kind of mess probably

      I think it comes from the conservative mindset that someone competent and capable in one field will be similarly competent and capable in other fields

      Simply put: They believe in a hierarchy. Some people are imherently better at everything than others

      She was competent and capable in her previous role of being an ass kisser. Because she was able to butter Trump up, it was assumed she would be good at any role, and she had “the look” Trump wanted (she looked like his daughter)
