What exactly is it about Ivanka Trump that is so off-putting?

[Anonymous]

She seems so out of place in the political setting. What is she even doing in the WH or on any of the official trips? Her presence is incongruous. It just comes across as ridiculous and not serious for the U.S. that we put her in these settings, like an uneducated, made for TV mash up of entertainment and policy making.

Every time Javanka is out of town, Trump seems to lose in mind, especially on Twitter. Maybe if they would just go back to NY, Trump would be more exposed and this whole thing will come to an end sooner.

Please elaborate. Which school? How well did you know her? What evidence do you have that she’s “not smart”?

I was in college with her at Georgetown and we had several classes together. I didn’t know her well at all- she only socialized with other very rich kids. But I did work with her enough to realize that she was fairly vapid. I didn’t have a sense at all about her politics. She was extremely clueless about her privilege, which was not uncommon among the rich kids at Georgetown.

She went to a Georgetown for 2 years then transferred to Penn.

Not, it really isn't that at all. She is everything Trump voters rail against in politics. She is exactly what they were trying to get rid of.

Utterly vapid and smells like polyurethane?

(a) We are, gleefully.

(c) Irrelevant
(d) Hatred, but not necessarily blind - see point (b).

P.S.: not everyone posting on DCUM is a woman.

I think the problem is Ivanka’s strange speech pattern. I try to like her. I have listened to many interviews with her. But she has a very strange, affected way of speaking, and her messages are not very compelling. I actually enjoy listening to Steve Miller (the Trump aide), on the other hand. He is a true believer and is authentic in his passion. He also has a strange way of speaking but it’s not affected so it isn’t grating to listen to.

As Maya Rudolph says ivanka’s baby girl voice sounds like she is hiding a sexy secret.

How many Republicans do you know? We come in all shapes and sizes, you narrow-minded tunnel dweller.

I find her fairly attractive, so I'm not being petty or mean. I had similar schooling (though am not rich) so I'm not saying it's because she's "an elite." I don't know what it is, but I have an almost physical reaction to seeing video content of her.

What I'm describing is an overwhelming sense of being unable to relate to her, and this visceral reaction of something like shock/disgust/cringeworthiness/confusion/vicarious embarrassment watching her move around or speak. She seems...unnatural and maybe even condescending in her facial expressions and diction. Is that it? Do others feel this way or is it just me?

She's heavily botoxed to the point that she doesn't have normal facial expressions and can trigger the uncanny valley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley
