First daughter Ivanka Trump recently revealed what it is that bothers her so much about the "Ivanka Vacuuming" art exhibit in Washington, D.C., which features a woman who looks like her vacuuming up crumbs thrown by gallery visitors.  Trump told ABC's 'Good Morning America,' in an interview that aired on Friday: "I think it's a very sexist representation of a woman."  "What bothered me about this image is that they hired a 16-year-old girl to stand there and have crumbs thrown at her for two hours a day for a couple of months," Trump also commented. "So I have a real problem with that, and that is what infuriated me more than anything."  Trump had previously said via Twitter: "Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter." The artist, Jennifer Rubell, responded, explaining that the piece is "not knocking anyone down. Exploring complicated subjects we all care about."  A release about the work noted: "Inspired by a figure whose public persona incorporates an almost comically wide range of feminine identities — daughter, wife, mother, sister, model, working woman, blonde — Ivanka Vacuuming is simultaneously a visual celebration of a contemporary feminine icon; a portrait of our own relationship to that figure; and a questioning of our complicity in her role-playing."
