(40,245 posts)Other than that, no you are not the only one who can't stand her. Her fake voice is particularly obnoxious.
She is affected and phony and has skated through life being pretty and as Lisa Bloom has said "being daddy's little princess."

(6,843 posts)Sorry. Scarlett Johansen is pretty. Angelina Jolie is beautiful. So is Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch. Ivanka is "I spent daddy's millions on plastic surgery and still look kind of weird.". She is not ugly, but she is no raving beauty.
madaboutharry
(40,245 posts)That is what drives her affected persona.
I agree, there is something very unnatural about her appearance. I think some of that has to do with who she is on the inside.

(6,843 posts)Crooked smile, bleached hair, fake teeth, and overly thin nose. Add to it the fake Jackie O whisper and the overunnciation of every syllable and you get Ivanka. Even her dumb ass name is phony.

(21,506 posts)By any measure she is pretty on the outside. She certainly is not the most beautiful woman on the planet but I would argue that one of your examples Angelina though gorgeous on the inside is a freak show of everything we don't want modeled for our kids with her botox lips and anorexic frame, inside she is a wonderful person but I am constantly distracted when I see her by the botoxed lips and the need to eat something and soon.
Drahthaardogs
(6,843 posts)Angelina Jolie's features are measurable and she would qualify as beautiful. Elizabeth Hurley is almost perfect facially. Asymmetrical features are not considered beautiful. Ivanka is a a bit of a mess. She is NOT beautiful and not even pretty. She has poor symmetry. There is a science behind this if you care to delve.

She's as big a hypocrite as her father who also gets his clothing line made in foreign sweatshops while he talks about "buy American and bringing back American jobs".
Hell, if both of them had their clothes made here that would be some jobs bought back to the US.

I also can't stand Don Jr., Eric, and Melania. But Ivanka is the worst of all. Her voice reminds me of the fundy christian kids that used to approach people in parking lots around here to sell their wares for their chur....er....I mean, cult. I always thought it was a sick thing to make those kids do that. They were obviously very uncomfortable. Ivanka speaks like a stepford wife.

She wasn't worth my consideration before and she wouldn't be again, once she removed herself from the WH.
But since people are latching onto her like she is a sane voice in a whirlwind of crazy, which is in itself nuts, she deserves to be treated as any other politician and attacked at every turn for every lie and every bullshit statement.
If she is there to moderate her father's actions, then, please, someone show me the evidence.
None exist. She is there to put a pretty face on the ugly that is her father.
She will tell you that her father respects and encourages women. Yet no evidence exist to back that up.
Her father indulges her and she defines that as respect.
Her father encourages her, as his daughter - and she thinks that means he holds the same regard for all women.
But what he encourages her to do is to engage in causes he would dismissively refer to as womanly issues. Of no real import to him or the real world, but gee, it sure does make his daughter happy.
While he guts funding and needed services, an action that does nothing but harm women, Ivanka flutters about, vacuous smile at the ready, explaining how she really wants to help women and how her father really wants to help women, and though she has her father's ear, they disagree - which is really just a case of her father being as dismissive to her as he is to all women. But it makes her feel better to call it a disagreement instead of the insult it is.
Yet out on the public stage she goes, trussed up as the reasonable face of the irrational - which isn't saying much at all.
Anyone relying on IT to get her father to do the right thing is as delusional as Donald Trump.
Her only goal is to protect the brand - and any lie, any subterfuge, and any mask she has to tell, promote or wear - she will do it.
Happily.

(1,482 posts)that says "look at me you lackeys for I am the the embodiment of all things beautiful and wonderful". She is a total phoney and it sickens me that she has been elevated to the status that she has by her lunatic father. As they say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I behold a two-bit, made-up shill and I too cannot stand her!

I loathe every single one of them individually and collectively.

deurbano
(2,896 posts)They are all so tacky and fake. You would think the third generation of wealth would be a bit more "cultured" (or could at least fake it better after the expensive private education), but the whole family is like Housewives of New Jersey. (The sons even look mobbed up.) Or Duck Dynasty.
Third generation and they are still tacky nouveau riche. If they didn't have money, they'd be in a trailer in some seedy trailer park or perhaps they'd have a reality TV show like Duck Dynasty or Housewives of New Jersey. And yes, the sons do look mobbed up.

(89,288 posts)not wealthy like romney where he can easily buy things with millions in cash.
and the trump steaks, trump water, trump appliances nad whatever else fuckign shit with their name on it is so sleazy. you wont see actual wealthy families do those things.
the actual wealthy types like bloomberg hate him and see him as a phony.
PatSeg
(47,750 posts)Really wealthy people don't have the need to plaster their name all over everything in huge gold letters. They more resemble mafia type rich - gaudy, loud, and in your face, not to mention unsubstantial.
Becoming president, was a payback to all those wealthy people who snubbed him for years. Sadly, he is still a joke, just bigger and more visible.

(532 posts)...Trump is not impeached and serves out his term. I hope not but if he remains president, it is my understanding that she and her husband were registered democrats before the election. It has also been said, the two of them are the only ones he really listens to. If he does serve out his term, I think it would be best if she remains to keep her dad in check as much as possible.

(5,815 posts)So suffice it to say, she's not my favorite and hearing her speak is like nails on a chalkboard.
I am hoping that when all of the story involving Russia and the tRump campaign splits wide open that the tRump dynasty exits D.C. With a loud whoosh. Not that I want them to go free, mind you. I hope every single one of them lands in prison for a long time. But to have them out of the limelight is their nightmare and we need that. Just desserts.....
tRump has placed himself on such a high pedestal so when he (and his minions) fall, it's a long, long way down to the bottom. Ivanka' facial expression alone will be worth seeing when it all implodes and there is nothing they can do but ride it out to the end.

(52 posts)She is a bigger phony than her father. But it is remarkable because the whole family really thinks they are SMART. They are the most ignornant phoney group of human beings. WE LITERALLY COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A DUMBER PERSON TO RUN OUR COUNTRY. Just think their lineup of idiots during the primary were the best in years according to their party and they all were bad however the bottom feeder won out.

anneboleyn
(5,611 posts)crawl. The voice she uses is a totally manufactured voice that she has adopted to appear kinder and less insane than her father and also "pretty." It reminds me of Paris Hilton in that both of them were/are exceptionally privileged white women who basically shaped themselves into pop culture characters for $$$ (a personal brand). Paris adopted the high-pitched squeaky girly dingdong voice, which is NOT her natural speaking voice; Ivanka adopted the breathy lower pitch "I am talking to you as though you were an upset animal or very young child that needs soothing" voice to fool the masses into buying her crap and/or voting for her father.

(111,456 posts)I can't summon any hate because there's really nothing there but a conventionally pretty face that I can't imagine showing real emotional animation or passion past the Botox, although she must show it in private with her kids, at least.
She, like her father and husband, is utterly out of her depth and for this I feel slightly sorry for her. I'd certainly rather see her than be her.

(575 posts)Ivanka must not be too popular if SteinMart is trying to dump her stuff under a different name.
I heard of women at TJMaxx who see a pretty scarf or blouse and then see Ivanka's name on it and they immediately drop it.
And that's just her fashion line.
I don't think the public at large like Ivanka. Don't support her.

(10,252 posts)I feel sorry for her. Yikes having Donald Trump as a father is a terrible position. Always being embarrassed by his lies and stupidities. His corruption and mean-spirited words and actions towards others. She is who she is partly as a product of what coping mechanisms she learned as a child to deal with a narcissistic and manipulative father.
When has she ever had a wise and compassionate teacher to show her another way of being? C'mon folks, have some compassion.
