    So all those security-reducing payoffs so she could have more Chinese trademarks were for naught?https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1021817559438577669 …

        How did she get a security clearance with that going on? I thought the press said Trump didn't intervene to get Ivanka or Kushner clearance.

        I think Ivanka is getting her affairs in order. I see her new label being "ExPat". I will let her use that for free.

        I doubt it. These people are schemers, something else is up. She didnt secure all those trademarks for nothing.

        She's not quite the successful business person her dear old dad is. If she really learned all of the lessons, she'd be declaring bankruptcy.

        Personally I don't think any decision she takes now is necessarily permanent. She may think she can sell in Asia where her image isn't as corrupt as it is here, and if so, she'll be off and running as soon as things collapse in D.C.

        My understanding is a lot of trademarks were for products, not clothing. So she’s going to move into a new life of work, that’s all.

        My guess is she got the word that China was going to include tariffs on her products & there goes the immense profits. That & places marking down pricing for them. I saw one item marked down to $1. Can't be an elite line at those prices. It must be so embarrassing for a Princess.

        Exactly! She will just rebrand products under new names and sell under new LLC’s burie mutiple layers deep to hide ownership! Don’t believe this propaganda for a second!

        Abandonment takes two years in the US, generally. Not sure about China. So, she probably has some time to change her mind, hypothetically speaking.
