Nursing Homes, Sausages and Polling Machines: Ivanka Trump Took Off in Weird Businesses

Ivanka Trump has embarked on such unexpected projects as nursing homes, sausages and even voting machines, despite the fact that this raises suspicions as part of a conflict of interest - remember that the first daughter of the United States also works as an adviser to the president.
37-year-old Ivanka, who contributed to job creation in the US, expanding economic opportunities, developing workforce and entrepreneurship thanks to her father’s victory in the 2016 presidential campaign of the year, presumably plans to create 16 new brands in cooperation with China, writes The Daily Mail.
It turned out that after filing trademark filings in 2016, many were approved on a provisional basis at the end of this October - despite the fact that Donald Trump accused China of meddling in the US midterm elections just a few days earlier.
September 26 in the UN Security Council in New York, Trump said: "Unfortunately, we have found that China is trying to intervene in the upcoming elections in November 2018, against my administration."
After news on Ivanka's trademarks, one of Twitter users wrote: “It looks like they no longer try to hide their corruption.”
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow questioned the choice of trademarks that Ivanka registers.
When actress Patricia Arquette heard the news, the actress tweeted, "Run - don't just go to the polls tomorrow."
Other Ivanka trademarks, including shoes and jewelery, will be valid until 2028. This does not look good for her image, as many believe that her father, Donald Trump, could make foreign policy decisions based on the interests of his family business, and not American taxpayers.
Ivanka made Abigail Clem President of IT Collection LLC in January 2017, when Trump took office. In July, they completely stopped the business. Two months before, Ivanka received approval for another five brands in China. A few days later, her father announced that he was providing enormous opportunities to China and was lifting sanctions.
Trump's own licensed enterprise in a resort near Jakarta received bonuses from a new deal worth about 500 million dollars in loans from the Chinese government just before he announced the news.
Last April, Ivanka won the right to register three new Chinese trademarks on the same day she dined with President Xi Jinping at the estate of her father Mar-a-Lago.
Ivanka also has a stake in Trump International Hotel in Washington, the same business that is being sued that US District Judge Peter Messit of Maryland refused to suspend this week even after the Justice Department's advice.
The state attorney general and Washington, DC, say that Donald Trump violates the constitutional status provision: a ban on federal officials from receiving gifts or benefits from foreign officials or governments.
The statement said that several people falling under the description, spent a lot of money on property owned by Donald Trump, located near the White House.
