Twitter users roast 'failing' Ivanka Trump over soon-to-be shuttered fashion brand
Senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump’s decision to shut down her namesake fashion brand has become a hot Twitter meme.
President Donald Trump’s daughter revealed Tuesday she was dissolving the business to focus on the work she does for her father’s administration.
“After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here,” said Trump in a statement. “So making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.”
Unsurprisingly, tweeters went into overdrive at the news:

RIP Ivanka's fashion brand. I always saw a reflection of my younger self in those clothes, as I too spent a lot of time rejected and untouched, in a suburban T.J. Maxx.

Sad day for women’s fashion. Now who will fill the yacht-to-baby-shower-to-estate-signing-to-occupation-hunger-games fashion void? #IvankaTrump

ivanka trump’s clothing line had the most indelible impact on me personally, specifically how i would find her stuff at the bay on crazy markdowns and think “this could be cute and hey, it’s cheap” and then i’d look at the label inside and scream and scream and scream and scream

The Truth is Ivanka Trump HAD to shut down her "fashion brand" because nobody wanted it. Marshall's and TJ Maxx can't give the stuff away for free. pic.twitter.com/S4kpQiHl9k

Ivanka Trump's fashion brand may be over but never forget her timeless fashion advice: Pair sleek, classic nepotism with blind adherence to a maniac and spritz with the vague, insulting guise of female empowerment.
