What office does she hold? Famous people are still private citizens, if they are not public officials.

Her official position in the White House is "Special Assistant to the President". Thankfully, it is an unpaid position; however, it still makes her a public official. After all, she travels with the President on all official travel. She and Jared certainly enjoyed their recent trip to India on the taxpayer's dime. They took some nice pictures in front of the Taj Mahal, something most of the worker bees of the country can't afford.

If people take "offence" why are the following her on twitter?

Simple solutions to idiotic problems. People LOVE to be offended these days because the MSM and public mouthpieces have made it a national past time for people who do very little to bring positivity to the world.

Looks like an uplifting message: make the best of your time with your kids. Even if you're unemployed and worried, you can be thankful that you get to spend time with your family or whomever else.

I don't know who the other two are, but they seem much nastier.
Thank you! This is what people aren't getting. Even though a parent is stressed about finances, bonding with your child is free and contributes to their emotional development. Even if you're struggling you still have to parent! I've known plenty of people who grew up poor (including my own mother) who didn't know as children they were poor because their parents didn't unload that on the children--they found little ways to normalize the child's life and find free/cheap ways to enjoy themselves.

So no one visiting the Taj Mahal should show people pictures of it because there are people out there who can't afford to go? Does that also include politicians in the same party as you?

Ivanka's tweet is normal, the other two are nut cases.

Hilarious. Yeah, I'm sure sandwiches are a "treat" for kids in a billionaire family.
