(The Daily Mail has been bursting with stuff, lately.)
Ivanka Trump is planning to attend Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20 - much to her father's chagrin - and is scrambling to save her aspiring political career as the White House plunges further into chaos and is being dubbed a 'circus on steroids' by insiders.
'Ivanka is worried that her promising political career is in jeopardy and she's doing whatever she can to save her reputation,' a White House insider tells DailyMail.com.
But President Trump is up in arms about Ivanka's decision.
'He said it's an insult that she would even want to engage with the crooks that are trying to bring him down,' says the insider, adding that Trump said the family must stand together and put on a united front.
'The president told his daughter that her presence at the inauguration will cost her thousands of supporters and would be the worst decision she could ever make,' they say.
But Ivanka is convinced that by attending Biden's inauguration she will come across as 'being a good sport and will gain future supporters,' the source says.

(17,802 posts)She isn't an elected official, and has no weight in politics. Why would she even be invited?
It will be a very small, closed ceremony. I wouldn't put it past her to try to crash it, but there is no reason for her to be there.

I'm betting he would NOT call off the terrorists to protect her. And doesn't she realize the danger involved? Does she even understand that she might not be welcome? She is so oblivious!

(16,799 posts)Trump cares about him almost as much as he cares for his other children...Barron is a tool to be used and when he's old enough Trump will throw him into the MMA pit...along with his siblings!!!
As a parent and grandparent I have seen nothing that would indicate Trump cares about Barron or his well being...

(25,048 posts)She's an insurance policy against violence! Trump would never let anything bad happen to her. Never. If she's at the event, Trump will call off his thugs.
Or not. If she's dissed him enough, he'll cut her loose. He's that much of a narcissist.
Nevertheless, I'm confident that the appropriate law enforcement will protect the inauguration.

(25,048 posts)My post was intended to be somewhat sarcastic. Kind of like carrying an umbrella so it doesn't rain.
I think you're right, however, that Trump can't call the insurgents off. These seditionists are not organized and they don't take their direct orders from Trump. Instead, these so-called militias are really just gangs with expensive military gear. When they try their attacks on state capitals, let's see how their weekend warrior/ex-military experiences stand up to the current professionals who are organized and coordinated.
Trump has lost his political power. He's lost his Twitter. He's really lost his base because they've gone rogue.
Trump has lost.

(11,419 posts)According to Winston Wolkoff's book "Melania and Me", Ivanka tried to place herself front and center at Trump's inauguration, but Winston Wolkoff, who was in charge of the planning, arranged the cameras so Ivanka wouldn't be shown.
Remember how she forced herself into an international conference, trying to place herself on equal footing with Angela Merkel and the head of the International Monetary Fund? Just telling her she's not wanted isn't enough: she may have to physically be barred from attending. What a dilemma for the Secret Service: they can dump her at 12:01, but they're supposed to keep her from harm until then. Still, telling someone they can't do what they want or denying them access when they weren't invited isn't an attempt to harm them, is it?
