The Trumps, regardless of what they do, are always on the receiving end of backlash and many understand why. Recently, First Daughter and White House political advisor Ivanka Trump was criticized by netizens regarding her father Donald Trump’s use of Farsi among his latest tweets.
Politicalflare reports that Ivanka took to Twitter to brag about her father Donald’s use of the Farsi or Persian language in his latest tweets in the midst of tensions between the United States and Iran. Donald expressed his support towards the protesters in Iran, who are speaking out against the government that reportedly admitted to shooting down the commercial plane on its way to Kyiv. “To the brave and suffering Iranian people: I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you,” wrote Donald in the language.
He later shared another tweet but in English this time. He called out the government and asked that they let human rights groups monitor and report about what is happening regarding the protests. Ivanka later shared on Twitter that her father’s Farsi tweet is the “most liked Persian tweet in the history of Twitter,” which was immediately met by criticism and mockery from netizens. Some were quick to point out that Twitter is banned in Iran, and there is no internet as well.
Previously, Ivanka was criticized again but this time it occurred during her keynote speech at the CES or Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Industry figures who were present criticized her speech, as well as the show in general for lacking in diversity and for implying sexism due to the fact that hardly any female speakers were invited during the previous shows, and if ever women were present, they were there as “booth babes” to attract the men.
Video game developer Brianna Wu commented on how Ivanka does not have any qualifications in tech. “She’s not a CEO. She has no background. It’s a lazy attempt to emulate diversity but like all emulation, it’s not quite the real thing.” Investor Elisabeth Fullerton also pointed out that this is an insult to women in the industry.
