FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON — In Ivanka Trump’s world there is no room for appeals, the recriminations, the accusations of fraud, the insults. In Washington, for weeks now, the dynamics of the presidential clan have been observed. There remains some apprehension over possible head shots by the president. Yesterday morning Donald Trump denied the rumors reported by the American media: Never discussed martial law, fake news. According to CnnInstead, the incumbent president would discuss it Friday night with attorney Sidney Powell and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
The narrower circle of collaborators is clearly breaking up. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reports the Washington Post, is about to open a consulting firm in the American capital. Economic adviser Larry Kudlow would have already reconnected with Fox News to go back to being a columnist. And so on.

Stay away from brothers
And Ivanka? In the last two months he has dedicated himself to a profound restructuring of his public image, spread essentially on social media and in particular on his Twitter account, with 10.9 million followers. (The Donald has 88.6 million). She never joined the phalanx led by brothers Eric and Donald jr. to contest the result of the November 3 elections. Instead, he chose to enhance what he considers the successes of this season.

On death row
Apparently it remains a step behind. The main credit, of course, goes to the father, the president of peace, Donald Trump. Then come the great skills of her husband Jared Kushner. Who made possible the conclusion of Israel’s historic agreements with Sudan, the Emirates, Barhein and Morocco? Jared, complete with applause. But the low profile doesn’t have to deceive. The autobiography for flash and pictures on Twitter tells another story. On December 3, National Day of the Disabled, here is Ivanka posing smiling and in solidarity with the handicapped people invited to the White House. On December 4th, as her father pushes for the death sentences to be carried out, she shows up in the Indiana Women’s Prison, visits the death ray, the last mile; praises the recovery program designed for inmates. On December 15, she appears in Woodbridge, Virginia. It rains and it’s cold. Ivanka, protected by a black Parka, participates in the distribution of food packages, prepared by the federal Farmers to Families program. Load the food on a car, knock on the doors of the needy. But it also draws a political moral: Congress must restore the Paycheck Protection Program, namely the $ 1,200 check for families in need. Republicans are resisting. Here Ivanka finds herself on the line of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Mask
And then there is the epidemic. The Donald deals with smear. Ivanka is photographed only with a mask and celebrates the efforts of the American army and international aid, such as the 50 fans sent to Indonesia.
International policy hinging on negotiation; active management of the pandemic; massive interventions to support families and businesses. It looks like a cocoon of an electoral program, to which is added militancy on the ground. Ivanka will be in Georgia today to campaign for the two Republican candidates running in the January 5 ballots. His ambitions are boundless and, for now, covered.
