...and Prince Consort are what I call them because of their entirely unearned inherited privilege.

In reality, all of the remaining Royals of Europe reign over Constitutional monarchies -- so they and their extended families are raised from birth to have some sense of public duty and patriotism.

Not so for the scions of the Trump Business Empire. Even before the Mad King lost his marbles, it was run as an absolute monarchy answerable to no one. There is no patriotism -- banks and money flow are borderless. There is no public duty -- their only peers are other billionaires and oligarchs.

Thank you for pointing out the sheer offensiveness of Ivanka saying she and Daddy care about women and children. It would be so much better if they (especially she) stopped pretending to give a fuck.
