Cooperating or preparing to go into hiding?

Ivanka Trump has decided to shut down her company after deciding to pursue a career in public policy instead of returning to her fashion company.

Trump's clothing and accessory business has been operating with limitations to reduce potential violations of ethics laws and the perceptions she's profiteering off her White House role. Given those restrictions, Ivanka, who serves as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, decided it didn't make sense to keep the company running if she's not returning after her father's presidency, two people with knowledge of her decision-making process told CNN.

Whatever, girl.

Ivanka is expected to address her company's staff on Tuesday in New York, according to a source with knowledge of her decision-making process. The same source said 18 people will be affected by the company shutting down.

Eighteen Americans, you mean? What about all the Chinese who work in the factories?  Also Bangladeshi, Indian, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Ethiopians?

Being dropped by Nordstrom, TJ Max, Hudson's Bay and Marshalls couldn't have anything to do with her decision, could it?

Ivanka Trump's company saw an increase in profits in early 2017 after her father's presidential win, according to a person with direct knowledge. But since that gain, profits have declined, the source added.

Didn't she just get several trademarks in China? Perhaps they were for something other than clothing.

"The ethics issues that arise from her ownership of the Ivanka Trump Brand also arise from her ownership stake in the Trump Organization, and still more issues arise from her father's ownership of that business. If the Trump family truly cared about ethics, they would fully divest themselves of these assets -- something they should have done before they entered the White House," [said Noah Bookbinder, executive director of CREW].
