Chelsea Clinton joined in the criticism of Donald Trump Jr.’s trip to India, with the throwing of some wonderfully subtle shade.
On Monday, The Washington Post revealed that President Donald Trump’s eldest son would give a foreign policy speech alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his “unofficial” trip to the country. Trump Jr. was ostensibly in India to promote Trump-branded real estate projects. But since he has no official role in his father’s administration, the news of the speech provoked plenty of criticism, including from Clinton.
The former first daughter made her feelings known after Twitter user @GuardianRover tweeted:
Imagine if Chelsea Clinton was paid to give a foreign policy speech while Hillary Clinton was president... https://t.co/YdLwzxUFg5

Clinton replied:
My imagination doesn’t stretch this far: https://t.co/bhoWSaiadz

Her response was well received:
And Chelsea would actually be QUALIFIED to give that speech.

I really admire your consistently gracious responses to hateful tweets.

If I could just have a little of @ChelseaClinton Twitter abilities I’d be so happy. But as @MichelleObama said - @HillaryClinton raised her daughter to perfection.

The ironic thing is @ChelseaClinton is extremely qualified to give such a speech with her educational and professional credentials.

I doubt Chelsea would stoop so low as to give that speech, but if she did it would be done eloquently and honestly. She has class. The trump boys, not so much!
