Ivanka Trump Dressed Up As A Scientist And Yep, It’s Already A Huge Meme
It's even better when you know she's trying to test vape juice.
Ivanka Trump donned a scientist outfit today to promote her dad’s struggling infrastructure investment plan, and yeah, you guessed it, it’s already a meme.
The Trump family’s photo opportunities are routinely hilarious, and this one is no exception. Clad in goggles and a lab coat, and wielding a small bottle for reasons unclear, Ivanka looks… well, just see for yourself:

Ok, here’s my meme; I hope everyone looks at it, cause I’d love some opinions. There was so damned much material to choose from. pic.twitter.com/Ko2XSUWI4H

I imagine that as she did this she softly whispered to herself, “Science.” pic.twitter.com/h501KJ1erh

Some people are in two minds about this — I mean, she is there to promote women in science, which is great. It’s just that instead of using her platform to actually promote women in science, she opted to just dress up as one instead.
Ivanka: We want to take pictures of your jobs
Scientists: Great, we’ll make sure to look our best.
Ivanka: I actually meant pictures of me pretending to do your jobs. Sorry. https://t.co/WekmSrFKwf

As actual women in science have pointed out, the real deal looks a bit different, and also involves being able to describe what you’re doing. Ivanka, fyi, is actually learning to test the nicotine levels in vape juice, which is just another wonderful aspect of this truly iconic photo.
Hey @IvankaTrump it's great that you like to cosplay as a scientist on Instagram but some of us are an #ActualLivingScientist. Tell us about what you're doing in this picture. I'm making a battery. #ILookLikeAnEngineer pic.twitter.com/fW5CFxLYAF

Anyway, I guess this is one of the better things a Trump family member has done lately, so we shouldn’t be too meme. Sorry, mean.
