Just like her father, Ivanka Trump is ruffling the feathers of some Twitter users.
Thursday, Ivanka tweeted a link to an article about unpaid interns.
How to make it work as an unpaid intern: https://t.co/pwMIYWh4kw #nomoneynoproblems #interntips #internships pic.twitter.com/BRoWuO6bq7

The article, featuring advice about how to survive in the real world as an unpaid intern, was ironically written by one of Ivanka’s unpaid interns, Quincy Bulin.
Twitter poked fun at Ivanka for using the hashtag #nomoneynoproblems and even offered further advice for struggling interns.
Unfortunately, the image Ivanka designed to accompany the article was bothersome to one woman in particular.
anyone else find this project problematic? @blackvoices @DonCheadle @TheRoot

what the hell do you know about being an unpaid intern? Or making it work? Why all your emojis black women?? #TrumpPence16

Many tweeters don’t find a problem with unpaid internships, or a billionaire daughter’s use of Black emojis. Naturally, they fired back at @malikazwanya.

This Twitter debacle played out one day prior to Donald Trump’s pitch to African-American voters that they have “nothing to lose” by voting for him.
Perhaps the use of Black emojis is the Trumps subtle way of winning over the hearts of African-American voters.
I don’t think Trump has ruined her father’s chances of winning the African-American vote, I think he has done that all on his own. This is just icing on the cake.
Here’s Ivanka talking about Twitter getting her father in Trouble sometimes:
