Rosie O"Donnell was so moved by her encounter with Ivanka Trump, she decided to make a piece of art out of it.
The comedienne, who has famously feuded withDonald Trump since 2006, came face-to-face with his daughter for the first time at the New York City restaurant Nobu on Wednesday night. Though she almost just got up and left,O"Donnell decided to talk to Ivankaand their conversation went surprisingly well.
At first, the 54-year-oldkept the encounter to a simple tweet, writing, "@IvankaTrump in a city of 8 million - we meet face 2 face - i thank u 4 listening - mother 2 mother - on this new years week - my best 2 u."
However, on Thursday night, O"Donnell went on to pen a poem titled "8 Million to One," opening up about their encounter and explaininghow she was "captivated" by Ivanka"s beauty and taken back by her kindnessthough she didn"t even realize who it was at first.
In the poem, O"Donnell explains she simply walked into the restaurant and saw a young couple sitting at a table in the corner, looking beautiful and in love. Later, her friend Dana revealed it was Ivanka. Though O"Donnell almost got up and left at that point, she decided to speak to the fashion designer.
She explained the encounter in her poem:"5 steps toward her table/introduced myself/she smiled genuinely/her husband was warm and gracious/i told her of my children/some truths about myself/my pain and shame/she was absurdly kind."
The poem continues,""i just wanted u to know"/i said in a shaky quiet voice/i then made my way down the large wooden stairway/into my waiting car."
She concluded,"i wrote a book once/about bashert/the concept of/meant to be/it has comforted me/on my darkest days/when my inner voices scream/u deserved it/as her father has/same as my own."

Meanwhile, Donald and O"Donnell"s decades-long feud began in 2006 when the co-host called him a "snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie" on The View after he gavethen-Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner a second despite comingunder fire for allegations of drug use and illegal drinking.
Donald shot back saying,"Rosie is just disgusting...she"s fat, she"s a loser. She"s a farm animal pig. She"s a beast, ok. She"s just a loser. She"s no good."
The feud has continued ever since, proving to still be ignited as the republican candidate made reference of her in the presidential debate a few weeks ago.
Donaldtold the country,"Rosie O"DonnellI said very tough things to her and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her."
In return, O"Donnell called him an "orange a**s" and reminded everyone she"s #withher.
FANTASTIC FULL SPEECH: Ivanka Trump - Republican National Convention - Here Comes the Sun!
Midway through her speech introducing her father at the Republican Convention, on Thursday night, Ivanka Trump began talking about disparities in pay for women. The ones it was particularly hardon, she said, were not single women but married mothers. Donald Trump, when he was Presidentand she was sure he would bewould see to it that American women had affordable child care, and he would fight for other policies that allow women with children to thrive. At that, Ivanka, glowing in a petal-pink dress, her hair a smooth sheen, swivelled to look directly into the camera, with a brilliant smile, like the heroine in a nineties action television show, about to impart a point of plot explication, and said, And I will fight for this, tooright alongside ofhim!
She had emerged onstage to the strains of Here Comes the Sun. Someone from the New York delegation shouted, We love you, Ivanka! She said, to that and to the general adulation, Thank you. Her tone of even politeness was an immediate reminder of the most basic way in which she has been said to be an asset to Trumps campaign: she must have learned her manners somewhere, and perhaps something could be imputed from that about how her father treated people. She has, in the course of the campaign, gone further, speaking about his encouragement of her career and making videos with instructions for registering to vote, so as to make America great again. She clearly wants her father to win. On Thursday night she appeared not only as a character witness, or as a softener of his shouting image, but explicitly as part of his political operation. (She and her husband, Jared Kushner, also have a behind-the-scenes campaign strategy.)
Part of Ivankas task was to make an overt play for womens votes, but she also went to Cleveland as a messenger of sweetly aggrieved populism. Her father had become the peoples champion, she said. And tonight he is the peoples nominee. She asked the audience, in effect, to walk with her as she walked with her father in a fantasy park of Trumpian themes.

It started in his office, with toys. She would be constructing miniature buildings with Legos and Erector sets, while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. He would tear stories about people encountering hard times out of the newspaper, and those people would appear, invited to Trump Tower, after a word to his assistant;then, after speaking with him, they left feeling that life could be great again. Trump also took his daughter out to show her what he was building. Ive learned a lot about the world by walking construction jobs by his side, Ivanka said. When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies, as well as incredible melting pots, in which people work together towards a single missionminiature idealized Americas, in other words. (She did not mention that, on at least one occasion, her fathers contractor was cited for hiring undocumented workers.) Billionaire executives dont usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work, Ivanka said, with a confiding smile, as if the delegates, from their experience with billionaire executives, knew exactly what she meant. My father is an exception. On every one of his projects, youll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers.

Ivanka was one of several speakers at the Convention to suggest that Trumps life as a real-estate developer made him something of an honorary blue-collar worker. (Pence and the Trump boys made this point, too.) She expanded on the idea with a return to Trump Tower. At my fathers company, there are more female than male executives. Several of these women had appeared in a video that played earlier in the evening. Indeed, it was notable that the lead-in to Trumps speech had involved a number of women, including Representative Marsha Blackburn, of Tennessee, and Governor Mary Fallin, of Oklahoma. The Wall Street Journal noted on Thursday that Hillary Clinton leads Trump among women by fifteen pointsa gap that is not as big as one might think, though it is greater among younger women. The Trump campaign clearly sees an opportunity. Ivankas message was that, if leaders just focussed, as her color-blind and gender-neutral father did, on competence, most problems, including those of working women, would disappear.
When my father says he will build a tower, keep an eye on the skyline, Ivanka said. She did not say when to keep an eye on the border. It was during her fathers speech that the crowd chanted, Build the wall!, as he talked about politicians giving up a child to sacrifice at the hands of murderous immigrants. Ivankas view of Trumpism is from the metropole. That doesnt make it, or her, less political, even if, for her admirers, her presentation is more palatable. When she said that, while politicians wanted to be judged by their promises and not by their accomplishments, her father should be judged by his buildings and his family, she ignored the toxic nature of many of his promises.
She spoke not only as a daughter but as a political admirer. Donald Trump sacrificed greatly to enter the political field as an outsider, she said, referring, perhaps, to his renunciation of another season of The Apprentice, and nights spent in places like Iowa. As she followed him on the campaign trail, she saw how he dug deeper, got better, and became stronger . . . and now I am seeing him fight for our country. She accepted his diagnosis of Americas ills: her fathers nomination, she said, was a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all: when this Party and, better still, this country know what its like to win again.
Come January 17th, all things will be possible again, Ivanka assured the audience. Then, reaching the end of her speech, she said, This is the fighter, the doer, that you have chosen for your nominee, and beckoned onto the stage her father, the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. He embraced her as the delegates cheered wildly. Then, for the next hour, he talked about how the situation is worse than it ever has been before, in a country facing death, destruction, and weakness, and where the sun seemed to have gone away.

There are actually quite a few guides on the Internet offering suggestions on making money off of political campaigns. Some are perhaps tongue-in-cheek, such asthis one, which uses the idea of spontaneously becoming a political consultant to point out how much money political consultants make. Some are awkwardly earnest, such asthis one, whichposits thatyou might want to sell old Hillary Clinton merch on eBay. Don"t have any? Well, "Consider Domain Squatting." (Don"t do that, actually. You won"t make any money anyway.)
But that"s not how the pros do it. That"s not how people who"ve mastered the international branding game do it.
They do it like this.
This isn"t Ivanka Trump tweeting, technically. It"s @IvankaTrump, but that"s the Twitter handle for IvankaTrump.com. If one has one"s own clothing line, it seems natural that you"d wear pieces from it; perhaps the marketing folks saw an unplanned opportunity to plug the outfit on Twitter. It"s $138 at Macy"s; apparently her father"s boycott of the chain doesn"t apply to her. The garment is described as a "sophisticated sheath dress" that "works wonders at both social and professional occasions" -- and, clearly, political ones.
Oh, also? The dress is "imported," according to its description.
So perhaps this was a just a smart move by the site"s marketing team to capitalize on the moment. Possible. Or perhaps Ivanka Trump has been doing this for the entire convention, posting a series of photos from the event at her website with personalized captions to each and links to where you can buy all of the things she"s wearing or carrying.
Perhaps that collection of photos and links to the Ivanka Trump store is featured on the front page of IvankaTrump.com right now.
That"s pro-level hustle.
There"s nothing illegal about this, of course. Ivanka isn"t the candidate. If Trump had invited you to speak and you plugged your book during your speech, that"s just the way it goes. If anything, Ivanka"s proving her father"s core value proposition: The Trumps know how to leverage the system to make a buck.
Just think about if Donald Trump wins in November and runs for reelection in 2020. Imagine how much Trump-branded stuff Ivanka will have to auction on eBay.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Donald Trump"s oldest daughter defended his record with women Tuesday, saying the presumptive Republican nominee believes deeply in gender equality, while acknowledging that her father has the tendency to rile people up.
Ivanka Trump told ABC"s "Good Morning America" that her father "believes in equality amongst the genders economically, politically, socially," adding that he "has empowered women, including me, his whole life."
A senior executive at the Trump Organization and key adviser to her father"s campaign, Ivanka Trump has regularly defended her father"s record toward women. Trump famously said Fox News Channel"s Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her wherever" after she pressed him last year about calling women "fat pig," ""dog" and other names. He also took jabs at the appearance of Heidi Cruz, wife of former rival Ted Cruz.
Ivanka Trump acknowledged that her outspoken father"s comments have "gotten him into trouble occasionally," but praised him for engaging directly with the voters, particularly on Twitter, saying it conveys who he is.
"The only filter is himself," she said. "He speaks from the heart. He speaks from the brain."
