Trump Brings Ivanka on Stage in North Dakota: ‘She Actually Asked, Daddy Can I Go with You?’ — WATCH

Donald Trump traveled to North Dakota on Wednesday to pitch his tax reform plan and paraded his daughter on stage for a sugary display of nonsense.

Said Trump: “You know, sometimes they’ll say, ‘You know, he can’t be that bad a guy, look at Ivanka!’ Come on up honey. She’s so good. She wanted to make the trip. She actually said, ‘Daddy, can I go with you?’ I like that, right. ‘Daddy, can I go with you?’ I said, ‘Yes you can.’”

Ivanka strolled up on stage and said: “Hi North Dakota. We love this state so it’s always a pleasure to be back here. You treated us very very well in November…so we like sharing the love back. Thank you.”

Lindy West delivered a devastating sermon on Ivanka in the NYT today:

Ivanka Trump is never going to come through. Coming through isn’t her function. She is more a logo than a person, a scarecrow stuffed with branding, an heiress-turned-model-turned-multimillionaire’s-wife playacting as an authority on the challenges facing working women so that she can sell more pastel sheath dresses.

All that aside, even if Ms. Trump does sincerely care about the issues she purports to, the fact remains that her father is a stubborn, intractable toddler. No one has power over him. He doesn’t want to be moderated, even by his daughter.

Also on Wednesday, reports emerged that Republican congressional leaders were “visibly annoyed” when Ivanka entered an Oval Office meeting on Hurricane Harvey, and the debt limit:

According to multiple reporters, who cited an aide who has knowledge of the meeting, the leaders “careened off topic” when the president’s daughter entered the president’s office near the end of the meeting.

Trump later stunned GOP leadership after making a deal with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling.

Spelman College to Admit Transgender Women

Yesterday, Spelman College, an all-women’s historically black colleges and university (HBCU) in Atlanta, Georgia, announced that the prestigious institution would update its admission process to include transgender women. The move comes a little more than a year after Dr. Mary Schmidt, President of Spelman College, established a task force to study and provide recommendations on whether the all-women’s college would admit transgender students.

This decision sends a bold statement to not only the HBCU community, but also the broader higher education landscape that they recognize transgender students, they deserve the same opportunities as other students and that we must make necessary provisions to ensure that will promote inclusive spaces for students. It will go into effect in the 2018-2019 school year.

“This is another example of how HBCUs continue to be at the forefront of social change in our community,” said Leslie Hall, Senior Manager of HRC’s HBCU Program. “It is important that our colleges and universities continue to raise their voices in support of LGBTQ students especially with the recent attacks on the LGBTQ, and particularly transgender, community.”

Just this week, Wellesley College opened its doors to transgender women for the first time.

HRC will continue to support college and universities like Spelman as they begin to admit transgender students. HRC Foundation’s HBCU Program has instituted a multi-prong strategy to create high-level policy changes that will support and protect LGBTQ students and staff on campuses around the country. Learn more about the program here.

The HRC HBCU Program will host its annual HBCU Leadership Summit for LGBTQ HBCU students on November 2-5, 2017 in Washington, DC. Accepted students will receive a scholarship which will cover their transportation, lodging and food. Deadline to apply is Monday, September 18, 2017. Application can be found at hrc.org/hbcu.
