Ivanka Trump trolled for tweeting out a fake Chinese proverb

Merciless is the Internet’s middle name! The latest one to be hit by the Internet is **US President Donald Trump** ’s daughter, **Ivanka Trump** . TBH, she is the only one to be blamed for this. So, Ivanka Trump probably woke up one morning, feeling all positive, and wanting to share that vibe with the Internet. So she tweeted a post that read, ‘“Those who say it can not be done, should not interrupt those doing it.” -Chinese Proverb’. While this sounds good, Trump’s daughter forgot to perform a quick fact check, and before she even realised, the internet’s eye caught the fake in it, and no there is obviously no going back from this.

Three minutes of googling suggests this is a fake Chinese Proverb. It seems in fact to be American from the turn of the 20th c.—which makes sense, since its spirit is can-do Americanism. But why are Trump WH aides giving our proverbs to China, increasing our proverb deficit? https://t.co/bqjbZhXlQr

What Ivanka Trump believed was a Chinese Proverb, turned out to be a 20th century American proverb! And from what it seems like, the Internet felt that this was unpardonable.

Is she referring to the fortune that she and Jared have made during their first year in the WH?

This tweet by Ivanka comes days after Melania Trump was trolled for wearing a jacket that read, “I really don’t care, do u?” that she wore when visiting a detention centre in Texas which was housing migrant kids separated from their parents.
