#EVENIVANKA

As Donald Trump’s popularity among Republican­s falls, daughter Ivanka – a former aide – announced that she was stepping away from politics. @georgehahn said: “Even Ivanka is bored with his act." @leslied225 replied: “No, Ivanka knows what their family did was wrong.” @Msmaryelle­n said: “She wants to be invited to the Met Gala again.” @fitzjohn10­10 said: “She'd prefer to spend some quality time with her money.” @dentonitis tweeted: “Once she realised she and Jared [Kushner] would never get to be copresiden­t, it wasn't fun anymore.”

@Bdjames added: “I will believe she’s stepped away when I don’t see her.” @netreturn asked: “When will she announce her new fragrance? And what will she name it?” @martymcmul­len claimed: “She's too smart and cynical and realises Daddy is toxic for her brand. She'd be right there beside him if she thought it could benefit her in any way. The apple has definitely not fallen far from the tree, but it's cleverer.” @snoozecat said: “She's got enough money to last her several lifetimes, so why work for more?”

#SCHWABGATE­S

Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum and billionair­e Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates turned up at the G20 Summit in Indonesia, surprising observers.

@OJB298 wrote: “G20 – 40 world leaders meet in Bali to discuss stuff with erm… their bosses, Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. It isn’t a conspiracy, it’s an agenda! @DB092 wrote: “Why are they participan­ts on the same level as leaders of sovereign countries?” @31x4fu tweeted: “You didn't know that all the leaders of the countries work for Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates?”

@Jamesmelvi­lle asked: “Why are Bill Gates & Klaus Schwab at the G20? No one voted for them. And anyone who asks this question should not be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. It’s a totally legitimate question to ask.” @Paul_mitchellab reckoned: “Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab are monitoring their stooge politician­s,” @Katmunro14 wondered: “Who voted Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates rulers of the world? Why are our elected leaders being lectured by these people.”
