Washington.
For a long time, Ivanka Trump was considered the favorite child of ex-US President Donald Trump. But because of a statement from her, that could change.

If it weren’t his own flesh and blood, he’d have a notorious affinity for decidedly younger women Donald Trump once said publicly – and reaped some head shakes – he might “date” Ivanka Trump. In the meantime, the relationship between the American ex-president and his eldest daughter can be considered less intimate.
Statements by the 40-year-old – who was an important informal advisor in the White House during her father’s tenure – in the first TV meeting of the committee of inquiry into the “Storm the Capitol” in Washington in January 2021 have led the right-wing populist, who is chronically allergic to criticism, to a drastic paternal rejection. Because Ivanka Trump signaled approval of a central analysis by ex-Attorney General Bill Barr in a video clip seen by around 20 million television viewers, Trump indirectly but unequivocally denied her the necessary competence and intelligence to assess the situation correctly.

Donald Trump: Daughter Ivanka agrees with ex-Attorney General Bill Barr
Barr had testified that Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was through Democrat manipulation “stolen” was “bullshit,” Ms. Trump agreed in fact: “I accept” Barr’s assessment, “I respect” him. Trump, on the other hand, considers Barr a “stupid coward” (because he refused to hire his ministry to invent evidence of voter fraud in the way Trump wanted).
His daughter’s solidarity with the “attorney general”, who resigned at the end of 2020, made him correspondingly morose. On his private social media platform Truth Social, the ex-president wrote that his daughter “didn’t study election results” and “did the affair a long time ago.” Also interesting: Storming the Capitol: Trump is said to have sympathized with “Hang Pence” calls
That means: Ivanka doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Trump could still feel sorry for the measure. It was Ivanka Trump who, when the Capitol was stormed on January 6, 2021, repeatedly unsuccessfully begged her father to stop the violent mob he had incited at the Capitol. Video scenes are expected in the upcoming meetings of the committee of inquiry starting Monday.
