Ivanka Trump's Veterans Day Tribute Goes Awkwardly Awry

Ivanka Trump was encouraged on social media to “sit this one out” after sharing a post marking Veterans Day on Wednesday.

Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, who served as his assistant during his first term, wrote:

“Today, we honor the courageous men and women who have served our country. Your unwavering sacrifices and commitment inspire us all. God Bless our great Veterans!”

Critics reminded the Trump scion of her father’s multiple draft deferments during the Vietnam War, tore into his ongoing Iran war, recalled the president’s reported past derogatory comments about service members, and suggested her youngest brother, Barron Trump, 20, should be called up to serve.
