‘IVANKA TAKES A STAND’: Twitter Savages First Daughter For US Weekly Cover
How Ivanka Trump influences her father Donald Trump https://t.co/yRrbtORjHx pic.twitter.com/jIHi5Q8jU9

First daughter Ivanka Trump graced the cover of supermarket aisle tabloid US Weekly, along with a headline “Why I Disagree With My Dad.”
The accompanying story on Ivanka describes her efforts to convince her father to stick with the Paris climate accords, agreed to by nearly 200 countries in 2015, which President Donald Trump recently announced the US would withdraw from.
US Weekly quotes a “source close to Ivanka” as claiming she was disappointed by her father’s decision but has “learned to take such defeats in stride.”
Another “Ivanka insider” said: “Sometimes she and Jared are a big influence on Donald and sometimes he takes other opinions into account and does something they disagree with.” “They win some and they lose some,” the source added.
The puff piece — which many commentators pointed out appears suspiciously like a plant from the first daughter — adds fuel to the narrative that Ivanka has little influence over her unwieldy father, but is engaged in an ongoing campaign to keep her brand clean of his more radical positions. That includes planting stories of her own heroic efforts to temper the president in friendly outlets.
Twitter took note of what looks to be her latest effort to clear her name:

If this were crafted any more to Ivanka’s designs, it would have to be put together by children in China. https://t.co/0MCRAMwh27

Ivanka is doing damage control for herself and her family brand. “I may lose, but maybe along the way I’ve modified [Trump’s] position.” pic.twitter.com/3RH8lNdRQt

You can safely bet this story was approved by Ivanka.
NB: US Weekly was just bought by the pro-Trump Natl. Enquirer https://t.co/WFrKXEwYqY https://t.co/l0jHWpnXL2— Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) June 7, 2017

“Once-witty supermarket tabloid shifts to fabricated palace dissent as propaganda for the regime” is definitely a square on Dystopia Bingo pic.twitter.com/3UawB3yeb4
