Ivanka Trump took to Twitter today, to memorialize late music icon Bill Withers, but her tweet has drawn some pretty strong responses from social media users. In her tweet, Trump shared a video of Withers singing “Lean On Me,” and wrote, “Bill Withers, one of the absolute all-time greats has passed. There is no more appropriate time to reflect on his words than now as we lean on each other.”
Following her post, many other Twitter users began responding, but a large number of them have been critical of Trump, with one writing, “There will be plenty of sunshine when you dad is ‘gone’ from office in November,” referring to Withers’ classic tune, “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

Another user tweeted back, “If only you had an ounce of credibility,” to which someone else replied, “Like she sits home and grooves to Bill W. No way Ivanka wrote this tribute.” One more user wrote, “Does she think we don’t know she has no clue who he is? Way to try and change the subject away from her uppity husband’s disastrous performance yesterday.”
Can you lean 6ft apart from the rest of us?

I don’t want to hear from anyone connected to Trump on the passing of any of these music legends we are losing due to COVID-19!

One thing great artists have in common is their disdain for people named trump.

Shame on you and your kind for exploiting something of beauty.
Lean at a safe distance. #SocialDistancing

You arenโt worthy of typing Bill Withers name. Go get your nails done or something

I can promise you, Bill Withers would rest better without his name in your mouth.

However, we do not need your regular attempts at being relevant and uplifting. Especially when hubby and daddy are screwing the States.
There will be sunshine when you are all gone.
So then, where are those large donations to the poor you’re so capable of making? Let the poor lean on you a little bit. Donate some property for low-income housing.

Thank you for telling us when it’s an appropriate time to do something! We’re so stupid and really need you to point these things out for us.
