"I heard that our Ivanka Trump is mad at you."
"Why in heaven's name. RIT is an extremely attractive, financially astute and..."
"RIT as in relegated to informal titles?"
"Don't be facetious; RIT as in Royal Ivanka Trump - anyway there is nothing informal about the First Daughter - she attended high level meetings with world leaders during the G20 summit and yes I saw the tape where she is being ignored by world leaders including Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund who I would like to warn that a Trump never forgives and forgets, kinda like Nawaz Sharif and Daughter and..."

"In that case The Khan represents naya Pakistan but talking of our Ivanka Trump, Jehangir Tareen, he remains very visible, a force to contend with, though he holds no office."
