Ivanka Trump will reportedly have an office in an area of the White House typically reserved for the first lady after her father becomes president.
The reports come amid speculation as to what part Donald Trump’s eldest daughter will play in his administration.
Ms Trump has been an influential figure throughout the campaign and transition process, and it emerged last week that she would be taking a leave of absence from the Trump Organisation, where she is an executive vice president, and moving to Washington along with her husband Jared Kushner, who serves as one of his father-in-law’s closest advisers.
Meanwhile Melania Trump, the president-elect’s wife, will remain in New York until her ten-year-old son Barron finishes school.
Those announcements presented the possibility that Ivanka would fill in for her stepmother as first lady.
While that would be an unusual arrangement, CNN reported on Wednesday that Ms Trump will have an office in the East Wing of the White House, in an area typically reserved for the first lady.
The network attributed that report to a transition source, who added that Ms Trump’s official White House title was still to be determined.
While it remains unclear whether Ms Trump will become the de facto first lady, she is expected to continue to work closely with her father after he takes office. She sat in on Mr Trump’s meeting last month with prime minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, and is on the executive committee overseeing his transition to the presidency.

Now that's what I call "splitting hairs"...
There also isn’t a shred of evidence his kids have security clearances or have divested of the Trump businesses.
They should put Bill Clinton in the backyard in the doghouse.
Oh yeah where is he right now? At orgy Island right now.
“Nothing good will come from Jared and Ivanka in Trump’s kitchen cabinet.”
Absolutely. If they’re there, they’ll be the most liberal members of his cabinet. Besides, on the 15th isn’t Trump supposed to make some announcement about how there’ll be an absolute separation between his White House job and his family who’ll be handling the business. Having Ivanka, et al., hanging at the White House will pretty much negate that.
Hmm..
You know what...
Maybe someday she’d make a wonderful FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT.
Just sayin’...
No, it is not.
And every day it just keeps on giving...
Foaming at the mouth aside, I believe Mark is right on this.
Here's a novel idea on child care... If you can't afford to care for a child then use some common sense and avoid having them. Birth control methods have been around since the beginning of the human race. Don't have kids that will end up become wards of the state.
Taxpayers are very tired of supporting irresponsible people and their kids.
Reported by CNN, attributed to an unnamed transition source. Okay.
Who’s point are you trying to prove with this photos?
I am not so crazy about this whole thing with Ivanka and Jared either, I just ha e kind of a sick feeling in my stomach about this whole set up!!! The press is going to have enough to be SCREAMING about without Trump creating stuff like this for them to be ballistic over!!! Not that I give a DAMN about the press HOWEVER I want him to be a magnificent POTUS and STUPID moves like this are going to put a YUGE cloud over his presidency and it is unnecessary!!!
Presidnet Trump has a beautiful family. If Trump wants them to take on an outsized by historical standards social role fine. Just keep them the heck away from policy and personnel. The are unqualified and politically unreliable, IMO. I cringe every time Trump toots their horns. Trump’s gem about sending Jared to the middle east was a real eye opener! FRegards.
It is Trump’s decision...not yours. He is the President and has every right to have his family in the White House with him.
How about Betsy Devos President?
Betsy DeVos wants to end federalized Common Core, privatize the horrible government schools. This is a woman who whose time has come!

Agree!

Trump cancelled the press conference about his family. There is a lot of smoke here. It’s pretty obvious he wants Jared and Ivanka in his kitchen cabinet but they know it’s a thorny issue. Trump has danced around the question in a couple interviews I saw.
Yeah, if I was Trump, I’d tell them right to their face that they are crap, and get the Hell out of my face, because people didn’t vote for them.
