@Amy_Siskind Leave it to Ivanka to turn a solemn day of remembrance, appreciation, and reflection into a decadent narcissistic celebration of privilege.🤔

@votevets @IvankaTrumpHQ @IvankaTrump Submitted like a person who has never sacrificed a thing. No concern of a loved one far away, and in harms way.
