Ivanka Trump is a fourth-generation businessperson who followed in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Elizabeth , grandfather Fred , and father, serving for a time as an executive vice president of the family-owned Trump Organization . She was also a boardroom judge on her father’s television show The Apprentice.
Starting in March 2017, she left the Trump Organization and began serving in her father’s
presidential administration as a senior adviser alongside her husband. She assumed this official, unpaid position after ethics concerns were raised about her having access to
classified material while not being held to the same restrictions as a federal employee.
She was considered part of the president’s inner circle even before becoming an official employee in his administration.
Ivanka Trump is facing backlash after tweeting a photo of herself holding up a can of Goya beans. The tweet from the president’s daughter includes Goya’s slogan, “If it’s Goya, it has to be good,” in both English and in Spanish. She also posted the image to her Facebook and Instagram pages.
Refer to her tweet below:
Trump’s social media post comes days after Goya CEO Robert Unanue praised Mr. Trump during an event last week at the White House. “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said.
Unanue’s remarks prompted calls for a boycott of Goya, which considers itself the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S. In response, Unanue said he was “not apologizing” and called the #BoycottGoya campaign an attempt at “suppression of speech.”
Many on Twitter wondered if Trump’s tweet would add to Goya’s woes.



Others questioned the ethics of Trump seemingly endorsing Goya products by using the company’s slogan in her tweet and holding up a can of black beans.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also tweeted about the potential conflict of interest, writing in Spanish that “If it’s Trump, it has to be corrupt.

According to the Department of Justice, “an employee may not use his public office for his own private gain or for that of persons or organizations with which he is associated personally. An employee’s position or title should not be used to coerce; to endorse any product, service or enterprise; or to give the appearance of governmental sanction.”
Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are advisers to the president, according to the White House website.
