The rebellion of Ivanka Trump ?: plan to attend the inauguration of Joe Biden
Ivanka Trump, daughter of the Republican president, has political aspirations and is thinking of attending the inauguration of President Joe Biden. Why would she detach herself from her father?
The political fractures arising from the confrontation between outgoing President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden moved into the Republican leader's family sphere.
According to her, it was revealed in British media on Monday, Ivanka expressed to President Donald Trump her intention to go to the inauguration of Joe Biden, a situation that generated the expected annoyance of the outgoing president.
For a couple of years, it has been known of Ivanka Trump's intentions to promote a political career in the short and medium term.
What is at stake is nothing more and nothing less than the reputation of President Trump's daughter in the face of the upcoming elections and political contests.
President Trump would have tried to persuade his daughter to desist from his idea of attending the January 20 events and made an excuse for the need to keep the family together at a time when his enemies wanted to remove him from the game.
The controversial president would also have told his daughter that such a decision to go to the event would have the opposite effect on her by reducing the number of supporters and that it would be the worst decision she could make.
"The president told his daughter that his presence at the inauguration will cost her thousands of supporters and would be the worst decision she could make," they say.
The information that emerged this Monday afternoon has not been confirmed or denied by the White House and occurs just when an important block of Democratic legislators have begun a process of impeachment of Donald Trump.
In this regard, outgoing Vice President Mike Pence has - so far - opposed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
A White House source told some media that Ivanka was looking to attend the inauguration because she "wants to be the voice of her [her father] and they owe it to the people."
Donald Trump had already made it clear days before in a tweet that he will not attend Biden's inauguration on January 20, before his social media accounts were permanently suspended for violating the rules of use.
President Andrew Johnson was the last who did not attend the swearing-in of his successor in 1869, who had also been indicted. Presidents John Adams like John Quincy Adams also snubbed his successors.
Ivanka has also been the subject of criticism in recent days, as in several tweets he disqualified the violence of some Trump followers who stormed the Capitol, but without expressly requesting the removal of the facilities.
A woman was shot during the violent clash between police and protesters and several others were killed.
No. Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms. https://t.co/GwngZTqzTH

A few hours later, supermodel Karlie Kloss, who is married to Josh Kushner, the younger brother of Ivanka's husband, Jared, tweeted: “Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is un-American. "
Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American.

It is speculated that Ivanka was "shocked and hurt" by Kloss's comments.
For her part, Melania Trump took advantage of this string of scandals and rejected the attack on the Capitol last week. The first lady condemned the violence and called for a "cure" in the nation, a few days before the couple left the White House.
