Ivanka Trump’s prominent role at the G20 summit over the weekend, and her presence at the Korean demilitarised zone with her father, has inspired a slew of parodies under the hashtag #unwantedivanka.
Following an awkward encounter in Osaka, in which Trump appeared to muscle in on a conversation with world leaders, the president’s daughter and senior White House advisor has been photoshopped into significant moments in history, ranging from the signing of the US declaration of independence to the Japanese surrender at the end of the second world war.
The flurry of #unwantedivaka tweets came after a callout on Twitter from US journalist Erin Ryan. One tweet placed the former fashion entrepreneur at the Yalta peace conference alongside Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.

I missed how this joke started. Is she supposed to be Ivanka Gump?

Re: #unwantedivanka
It's because there is a video of her rather awkwardly trying to insert herself into a G20 conversation between Theresa May, Emmanuel Macron and Christine Lagarde. Lagarde in particular seemed to diss I Trump with a bit of side eye. She (Trump) made some remarks which seemed to be at best meaningless. So a meme of #UnwantedIvanka arose.
ETA: immediately I posted this, I saw that Gob had linked the Macron/May/LaGarde video in his initial post to this thread; so I edited this post to make that point. Looks as if, for whatever reason, that edit didn't take.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
