Art exhibit shows Ivanka Trump lookalike vacuuming up crumbs

WASHINGTON -- A new art exhibit at a Washington museum shows an Ivanka Trump lookalike pushing a vacuum cleaner and invites spectators to toss crumbs for her to clean up.

The art piece by Jennifer Rubell, titled "Ivanka Vacuuming," opened Feb. 1 and continues through Feb. 17 at the Flashpoint Gallery. The public is encouraged to "throw crumbs onto the carpet, watching as Ivanka elegantly vacuums up the mess, her smile never wavering."

A large text description of the work hanging on the gallery wall describes Ivanka Trump as "a figure whose public persona incorporates an almost comically wide range of feminine identities -- daughter, wife, mother, sister, model, working woman, blonde." It calls the act of throwing bread crumbs onto the carpet for her to vacuum "surprisingly pleasurable."

But Ivanka Trump and her brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump criticized the exhibit Tuesday as a sexist attempt to humiliate her.

"Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter," Ivanka Trump, a senior White House adviser, tweeted alongside a link to a story on the exhibit.

Trump Jr. tweeted, "Sad, but not surprising to watch self professed 'feminists' launching sexist attacks against @IvankaTrump. In their crazed world, sexism is OK if hurts their political enemies."

Eric Trump, on Fox News, called his sister a "powerful woman who has done more for women than probably anybody in Washington D.C."
