A fiery feud was ignited between the wife of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and model Chrissy Teigen when the pair exchanged insults on Twitter. The spat began when Teigen criticized Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser, after Trump posted a photo of herself kissing her son Theodore on the cheek in honor of National Kissing Day on July 30.
Why do politicians involve themselves in celebrities?
What can we take away from Jared’s engagement in the tweet? That’s unclear. Is it because he respects Chrissy’s opinion, doesn’t like to read, is uninformed on the subject and has nothing better to do than throw his status around or have another family member who needs some work? Regardless of what we’re all speculating, there are very tangible consequences for our politics and for us as Americans when a family member with an unelected position takes these kinds of shots at an activist and a woman. It leads us down the path of making political decisions about culture wars and values based on celebrity opinions instead of intellectual debate.
What was Ivanka Trump like growing up?
Even though it was obvious from an early age that Ivanka would have a high-profile career, her parents never made her feel burdened by the expectation. Her father used to call her self-effacing for carrying around a library book about Jackie Kennedy and wearing expensive dresses without complaint. Though she wasn’t immune to the pressures of school, saying I’ve had my ass kicked plenty of times, on the most part she found that being smart at work and hardworking paid off in terms of getting recognition. At an early age, she started going with her dad to construction sites where he ran his business, which motivated her as well.

What did controversial comedian Samantha Bee say about Melania Trump?
Speaking on her TBS show Full Frontal, Samantha Bee detailed to her audience the horror she felt when she read about the violent rape of journalist Connie Chung by an armed intruder in 1989. I don’t want to live in a world where women are afraid all the time, said Bee, before asking those watching if they remember how much media coverage was given to Connie Chung’s attack at the time. One day for that story, and one day only. And then we changed channels because I guess it’s too depressing.
How did Melania react to Samantha Bee’s comment?
After Bee made her first public apology, which was at the same time taped and aired on TBS, the clip had amassed 2.5 million views. Three hours later she issued a second apology via Twitter, saying she regrets and it was inappropriate and inexcusable.
I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night, Bee said in the statement. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.
Why did George W. Bush decide to go with Laura Bush over Hillary Clinton as his running mate in 2000?
It’s not uncommon for a presidential candidate to want to put family on the ticket. George W. Bush chose Laura Bush as his running mate over Hillary Clinton because he wanted to see two generations of one family represented, and also because she had campaigned with him. While there were other contenders such as Kay Bailey Hutchison and Dick Cheney, they all received only one or two votes, while Laura had 11. He felt that her representation on the ticket would help unify Republicans and make them feel more confident in his campaign.
What will be the consequences of John McCain dying before finishing his term in office?
First, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey will be tasked with appointing McCain’s replacement. We do not know who he will pick, but a safe bet is someone who shares the same views as McCain–this could pose some serious problems for the president. In order to make it more difficult for Ducey to appoint someone that could hurt the Republican party in 2020, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan will also have an opinion on who should replace McCain.
