Donald Trump Thought He Needed Ivanka to Save His Seat When He Had to Go Weewee at the G20 Summit

It Just Gets Stranger and Stranger

When Donald Trump got up from  his chair at the G20 Summit, presumably to take a bathroom break he wanted to find someone to hold the seat.  Apparently thinking that when he came back he would find the chair gone, or some lesser body sitting in it he asked his daughter to sit there and participate in the Summit.

And so after some criticism he tweeted.

President Donald Trump said he asked his daughter Ivanka to take his seat at a G-20 Summit working session and her participation was "very standard."

"When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!," Trump tweeted.

Typically, a government minister would stand in for a head of state if they were unable to attend such an event, according to the Washington Post.

Uh Donnie, see a world summit is not like what you are used to, you know, going to the All You Can Eat Buffet at KFC and finding it so crowded that you need your daughter to keep the seat for you.  At the summit they would have let you come back in and sit, at least we think so.

But we do understand your choice of Ivanka.  We know you wanted the least qualified person available and obviously Jared was not around.
