I guess you can't spell Chelsea Clinton because while it might look like Sasha Obama I can assure you it is not spelled that way.
If some right-winger cornered Chelsea Clinton with child in tow and had to be removed from a flight you'd be screaming bloody murder.
I have no patience for the raging hypocrits on the right and left here that would switch sides completely if this were Chelsea Clinton (please note, not spelled Sasha Obama) instead of Ivanka.
The poster I was responding to was complaining that "the president's kid" was being harassed. Ivanka is not just "the president's kid," she is in his inner circle, and thus she wields a great deal of power and influence. She has placed herself at the center of power and as a face of the upcoming administration, and thus, she should not expect to be shielded from criticism the way a mere "president's kid" who has no power or influence would be.
What political power does Chelsea Clinton wield? What political power did she ever wield?
I have no idea why Ivanka Trump was flying coach, but I will note that a few years ago when my youngest was a very adorable toddler, we flew a red-eye into Orlando. My toddler just would not sleep, and a very lovely woman sitting across the aisle in coach played with him almost the entire trip, chatting us up about normal everyday stuff. At the end of the flight, my husband and I introduced ourselves and thanked her for keeping our toddler entertained. She graciously accepted our thanks and introduced herself as -- insert very common '70s female name here -- and went on her way. The entire time, I kept thinking to myself, "She is so familiar." Finally, as we were standing outside the Orlando airport waiting for our ride, it hit me as I watched her get into a large SUV with blacked out windows and a couple of burly men who were very obviously bodyguards that she was the lead singer of an extremely famous rock band. I grabbed my husband's cell phone and looked her up. I was right. She was scheduled to headline a huge holiday concert a couple of days later, and the name she had used to introduce herself was her real name. I don't know whether she thought it was funny that I did not recognize her or grateful that she could travel incognito like a normal person. Maybe a little bit of both. I don't know why I tell this story, maybe just as a reminder that the rich and famous are people, too, and sometimes they fly coach.

Oh come on, you have to tell us who it was! Let me guess...Stevie Nicks?
In her book she laments the incedent of her mother making her fly coach to the South of France, so why was she flying coach on Jet Blu recently? Is she trying to appear more egalitarian?
Maybe because she doesn't want to appear to be Marie Antoinette, even though she certainly has the money to do so. Not everyone who is filthy rich flaunts it all the time like Hollywood prima donnas.
Bernie Sanders flew coach most of the primaries... Was that a set up?
