Ivanka Trump travelled to South Korea on Friday to take in the final days of the Winter Olympics.

The daughter of the President is serving as the honorary leader of the US delegation for the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Ivanka has already taken part in a host of activities such as cheering on snowboarder Kyle Mack and meeting the South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

@IvankaTrump

Thank you President Moon and First Lady Kim for your warm hospitality and the very special dinner at the historic Blue House, marking the start of our visit to South Korea.

She's bound to have a nice time in Pyeongchang and her father wanted to let the rest of the world know just how great it is to have a person like her representing the United States.

@realDonaldTrump

My daughter, Ivanka, just arrived in South Korea. We cannot have a better, or smarter, person representing our country.

At first glance, this would seem like a fairly normal Trump tweet, but he does fail to mention that his right-hand man Mike Pence was in South Korea not so long ago.

This is probably just an oversight from Trump or a poor choice of words but people couldn't help but interpret it as a subtle dig and the Vice-President.

Mike Pence smiles, tight-lipped, crushes a water glass in his hand, regards the blood, curious. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

You know your @VP was there, right? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

His Vice President is already there but in fairness I'm guessing nobody on staff thought he needed to know. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

who wants to tell him @VP was there last week https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

Let's not forget that Sarah Sanders is also there too.

@GovMikeHuckabee

Gee, I hate to do this, but @POTUS is wrong and I respectfully disagree. Ivanka is great and smart, but @PressSec is there too so we have THE BEST & SMARTEST representative. Of course, I'm as objective about her as CNN is about @realDonaldTrump https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

Others were just disappointed that they couldn't find anyone more suitable than Ivanka.

Why not? Would it make her feel bad? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

Well, if you can't have a better or smarter person, you'll just have to settle for Ivanka. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

@BradMossEsq

Maybe the Secretary of State? The Ambassador to the UN?

You know, people who actually have some professional qualification aside from being your daughter? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …

@clmazin

True. We cannot, because you chose Ivanka instead. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/967023015035797504 …
