OSAKA, JAPAN - JUNE 29: Senior Advisor to President Trump, Ivanka Trump attends a press conference by U.S. President Donald Trump after the G-20 Summit on June 29, 2019 in Osaka, Japan. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to resume trade negotiations on Saturday during their meeting in Osaka at the annual Group of 20 summit, in an attempt to resolve a trade deal between the world's two largest economies. According to reports, both leaders agreed that the U.S. would not impose new tariffs during their discussion as world leaders met in Osaka during the two-day G20 summit to discuss economic, environmental and geopolitical issues.

We’ve already covered what Donald Trump did (and didn’t) manage to do at the Group of 20 summit held in Osaka, Japan, this weekend. Donald isn’t the only Trump to bumble his way around world leaders, however. This time, his daughter Ivanka has been caught on video trying to engage with foreign politicians. And, unlike her father, they seem none too impressed with her.

In the short video, French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K Prime Minister Theresa May, International Monetary Fund Chair Christine Lagarde, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are having a conversation, seemingly about social justice. As they would do at an international summit of world leaders.

Then Ivanka tries to join their talk.

Watch below, and keep an eye on Lagarde’s expression:

As New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez commented:

It may be shocking to some, but being someoneÃ¢ÂÂs daughter actually isnÃ¢ÂÂt a career qualification.

It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on.

The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldnÃ¢ÂÂt hurt either. https://t.co/KCZMXJ8FD9

California Rep. Ted Lieu also called out Ivanka:

I would like to hear Ivanka Trump's explanation about this video.

Oh wait, Senior White House Advisor @IvankaTrump blocked me. Can you forward the below video to her and ask for her response? Thanks.

P.S. Can you also ask her why Jared Kushner still has a security clearance? https://t.co/qQ4xdrrpyl

The second-hand embarrassment is strong with this one.
