Have not verified it independently but MSNBC report claimed that taxpayers funded White House official Ivanka Trump visited China and won Trademarks for personal business from Chinese government just few days before her dad wrote following tweet from his private twitter account. Seems like private business to the untrained eye and not a swampy situation.
She seems to be not getting great media coverage lately, recently a very controversial NYDN cover (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?522238-US-embassy-in-Jerusalem-opens-Mon-Ivanka-arrives-Bachmann-apologizes-for-Jews-conversion-rem&p=6628676&viewfull=1#post6628676) went viral that used g-word next to her photo taken on a tax payers funded trip.

Ivanka Trump exits White House conference call after questions on Chinese trademarks

WASHINGTON -- While the White House press corps has figured out to employ the "listening mode" function for conference calls with reporters, the administration is still mastering the task of gracefully dodging awkward questions that officials do not want to answer.
On a background call hosted by Ivanka Trump and Holli Richmond, director of the President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, in advance of "White House Sports and Fitness Day," one of the hosts dropped off of the call after being asked to comment on her father's new exercise regimen and questions pertaining to Chinese trademarks being awarded to her fashion brand (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ivanka-trump-in-china-the-trademarks-patents-raising-an-ethics-firestorm/).
"You can refer those questions to the press office," press aide Ninio Fetalvo told reporters Tuesday after Ivanka Trump was asked to address questions about her company.
The White House did not respond to CBS News' request for comment.

CNN followed up by asking Ivanka Trump for an update on her father's fitness after Dr. Ronny Jackson notified the White House press corps earlier in the year that he had advised the president to lose some weight in 2018.
"So Ivanka had to step out for another meeting, but Holli is here to take on the additional questions," Fetalvo replied after a brief pause.

This continues to develop as a non-swampy situation:

The Ivanka Trump Brand Just Won a Boatload of New Trademarks in China

Ivanka Trump is on a trademarking frenzy in China.
The first daughter's brand has been granted 13 new trademarks in China over the last three months, for items ranging from books and cosmetics to housewares and cushions. Another eight trademarks received the provisional okay from Beijing; they’ll be finalized in three months if no objections arise during the comment period.
At first glance, these trademarks may appear somewhat unremarkable. However, some ethics experts have suggested that Trump's trademark applications may represent a conflict of interest (http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/28/news/ivanka-trump-china-trademarks/index.html), as her father remains engaged in trade negotiations with China and she herself serves as a senior advisor to the White House.
Conflict of interest?

Norm Eisen, the ethics chief under President Obama, told CNN (http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/28/news/ivanka-trump-china-trademarks/index.html) that the trademarks come at a time when the Trump administration is "making enormously consequential decisions with and about China."
“The conflict comes because we do not know if the Trump administration is making these official decisions [on China] to benefit the U.S., or to get more trademarks and other benefits for the Trump family,” he added.
"Ivanka Trump (http://fortune.com/2017/12/27/ivanka-trump-clothing-clothes-twitter-instagram-shoes-dress/)'s refusal to divest from her business is especially troubling as the Ivanka brand continues to expand its business in foreign countries," explained Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics to the AP (https://www.apnews.com/9caf2ddbbae84bd09e9d732036d667b4?utm_medium=AP_Pol itics&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true).
"It raises significant questions about corruption, as it invites the possibility that she could be benefiting financially from her position and her father's presidency or that she could be influenced in her policy work by countries' treatment of her business."
Online records from China's trademark office reviewed by the Associated Press (https://www.apnews.com/9caf2ddbbae84bd09e9d732036d667b4?utm_medium=AP_Pol itics&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true) show that the Ivanka Trump company applied for 17 trademarks on March 28, 2017--just a day before the first daughter and businesswoman formally took on a role in the White House. Recent documents show the brand owning 36 active trademarks in China. Eight have provisional approval, while 25 are still awaiting review, according to the AP.

What the hell is the "g-word?" Censorship has me guessing at everything. $#@!-itty-$#@!-$#@!ers.

This cover had the objectionable word:

http://www.nydailynews.com/resizer/G5Z0ybb34n9C8kxtKaK82V0pHd8=/1400x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7Y3DH4IUH3TXMR2P5OQJKPTFHQ.jpg

Maybe it was un-warranted censorship but at initial read seemed like a bad word. Obscenity can be subjective too, some find sexual terms more obscene, others may find violence related situations more objectionable.
