WASHINGTON — Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s eldest daughter and a senior White House adviser, has positioned herself as one of the leaders of the administration’s economic relief efforts and one of its most vocal advocates of social distancing.

“Those lucky enough to be in a position to stay at home, please, please do so,” Ms. Trump said in a video she posted online, encouraging Americans to follow federal guidelines about social distancing, which suggests that people stay at least six feet apart. “Each and every one of us plays a role in slowing the spread.”

But Ms. Trump herself has not followed the federal guidelines advising against discretionary travel, leaving Washington for another one of her family’s homes, even as she has publicly thanked people for self-quarantining. And effective April 1, the city of Washington issued a stay-at-home order for all residents unless they are performing essential activities.

Ms. Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who is also a senior White House adviser, traveled with their three children to the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey to celebrate the first night of Passover this month, according to two people with knowledge of their travel plans, even as seders across the country were canceled and families gathered remotely over apps like Zoom.

1. How many lives did they put in danger?

Drivers, pilots, chefs, nannys, personal groomers, secret service agents, housekeepers, etc. The Trumps' selfishness and greed is depraved and disturbing. They really don't care, do they.

2. "traveled with their three children"

Plus driver, Secret Service agents, etc.

3. Money changes everything

And no regard for those that she can spread it to.

4. When daddy's 12 years

as president are over, she is next in line. The tRumps discovered how lucrative the presidency is. Free travel, free meals, free vacations, free security. Why would they give all that up? It is a grifters dream "job". Maybe she and Jared had to meet their plastic surgeon for more injections of Botox? Looks like they probably get the family plan.

Make no mistake about it. These people are not going to give up this grifting lifestyle easily. They will do anything to hold onto it and I do mean anything.

The plan has always been for her to be next. If she has to go "service" Pooty Poot to achieve this, she will do it.

Was a Democratic activist and very important to the party. Quite liberal.

19. Here comes the spin:

A White House official confirms to @cnn's @betsy_klein that, despite federal guidelines, @IvankaTrump and Jared Kushner and their children, left DC for their country home at Trump's private Bedminster, NJ, club, as first reported by the @nytimes. “Ivanka, with her immediate (1/4)

"family - celebrated Passover at a closed down facility considered to be a family home. Her travel was no different than had she been traveling to/from work and the location was less populated than the surrounding area near her home in D.C." (2/4)

“While at Bedminster she has been practicing social distancing and working remotely. Her travel was not commercial. She chose to spend a holiday in private with her family.” Presumably, however, her holiday at her (3/4)

expansive Washington home would also have been private. Traveling to Bedminster also requires travel by Jared and Ivanka's Secret Service details, many of whom I would presume also have families who are concerned about the virus. USSS declined to comment to @CNN. (4/4)
