Ivanka Trump’s wine investments are unknown, but her fondness for champagne popsicles is now a public record.
Many critics think her suggestion came on the wrong holiday, however.
“Instead of honoring America’s fallen war veterans, Ivanka Trump’s lifestyle brand suggested that Memorial Day is a perfect time to make popsicles,” said 102ktra.iheart.com, a thought widely shared.
“CNN reports the backlash was ‘icy’ after IvankaTrumpHQ tweeted a tip to “Make champagne popsicles this #MemorialDay,” with a link to other summery ideas like grilling and wearing ‘all-white.’”

Huffington Post noted: “Again, the tweet was from the Ivanka Trump brand team. Still, Trump’s personal Twitter account didn’t have a Memorial Day post until hours after the popsicle tweet went viral.
“Her own post went out about the same time as her father’s speech at Arlington National Cemetery honoring members of the military who died in service to the U.S.”
Frosty reactions:
Let them have champaigne popsicles

I wonder how many coal miners took Ivanka’s advice and made champagne popsicles today.

@imillhiser “Champagne popsicles” at Ivanka’s home… cutting lunches and food stamps for the needy. Think she gets it?

@alexisgoldstein @IvankaTrump Ivanka is SHALLOW, thoughless, soulless, & vapid. She has kids, yet lets her dad destroy the world while she has popsicles. #ImpeachTrump
