It's easy to take for granted that Barack Obama's administration lasted eight years without a single massive scandal. Sure, there were controversies, but in eight years the administration avoided tawdry tales of personal impropriety and abuse of office, and now he's on vacation forever.

Donald Trump's administration? Well, we're not even through his first hundred days and there's already been so much scandal that I'm relatively sure Shonda Rhimes gets residuals at this point. For those keeping track at home you have:

The Trump camp's ties to Russia.

Trump's refusal to release his tax returns.

Whatever it is Sean Spicer most recently said.

The Trump team's cozy relationship with white supremacists. (Bannon, Steve.)

And of course, Donald Trump and his family constantly using the office of the office of the presidency to enrich themselves.

It's this last one that we are here to talk about today, because in addition to the fact that Trump's companies have not really been put in a blind trust (as they're supposed to be) because his children are running it, and the fact that Trump's D.C. hotel is an obvious way for foreign leaders to literally pay the president, and even the fact that he has the government paying outrageous sums of money TO HIS OWN BUSINESS (like Mar-a-lago and Trump Tower), there is still yet another way in which this family is using the executive branch to make themselves richer. Ivanka Trump, who her publicist would want you to believe is the liberal voice keeping Donald Trump from doing evil things, is now enjoying the spoils of the office. Because on the same day that she dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping, she received some conveniently good news in China:

On April 6, Ivanka Trump's company won provisional approval from the Chinese government for three new trademarks, giving it monopoly rights to sell Ivanka brand jewelry, bags and spa services in the world's second-largest economy. That night, the first daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, sat next to the president of China and his wife for a steak and Dover sole dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

Hmmmm... Interesting timing. Now the AP goes on to point out that it's not necessarily illegal to build a brand using government prestige, but it is illegal to participate in government decisions that could enrich you. Like say conversations with the Chinese President about trade I don't know. That one's just off the top of my head. So I guess you can say that as long as Ivanka's clothing company is doing international business while she's advising her father, she's:
