After video of Ivanka Trump awkwardly inserting herself into a conversation with several world leaders at the G20 summit in Japan went viral last weekend, the whole world was laughing at the United State of America. And rightfully so. Many couldn’t help but wonder what the president’s daughter, who has zero qualifications to serve as a diplomatic representative of the United States, was doing at there in the first place.
