Ivanka Trump is back in the headlines—but not because of any news, per se.
On Wednesday, the first daughter appeared on the cover of celebrity news publication Us Weekly, along with the caption "Ivanka takes a stand: Why I disagree with my dad."
The cover is causing quite a bit of controversy on social media, with some readers accusing Trump of trying to save her brand by distancing herself from her father.
But while the publication quotes "a source close to Ivanka," the story itself does not include an interview with the first daughter. Instead, it is primarily a compilation of Trump quotes from previous interviews.
The article focuses on numerous reports that Ivanka Trump disagreed with the president on the issue of climate change and advised him not to leave the Paris agreement. It does not provide any new information to suggest that her relationship with her father is any less close than it has been throughout the course of the 2016 presidential campaign or the early days of the Trump presidency.
Twitter quickly began mining the Us Weekly story for meme material. HuffPo reporter Eliot Nelson even went so far as to make memes of the caption with other characters famous for their parental disagreements (e.g. Sophocles' Oedipus Rex).

Trump herself weighed in recently on her current White House role, saying, "This is early for me. I'm listening, I'm learning, I'm defining the ways in which I think I'll be able to have impact
Anybody who stands in line at the checkout counter knows all the headlines on magazines & tabs are clickbait, come-ons and fake news.
Ivanka Ping :)
She and her husband need to go back to NY and stay there.
You Won't BELIEVE the Reason Why!
Agree with you 100% on this, Ivanka and hubby need to go back to NY!!!!
Mr.and Mrs. Court Jew!
“She and her husband need to go back to NY and stay there.”
Precisely. We didn’t vote for the princess and Mr. Ivanka.
Hope to hear her disavow this article!!!
I’ve reach the point where I’m just sick of Ivanka Trump. :^(
The pretty giraffe needs to go back to Manhattan and the Hamptons.
She’s entitled to her opinions. But the important fact is he disagrees with her and, contrary to the fears and suspicions of some, doesn’t seem to have a ring in his nose.
Well, when it comes to religious beliefs, the headline is accurate. She’s a Jewish convert, and quite observant, I believe. He’s a Presbyterian by upbringing, but not very strict, if I read thinks correctly.
Anything else they might be inferring is pure, unadulterated Barbra Streisand, IMHO. This is a gossip rag, don’t forget!
“But while the publication quotes “a source close to Ivanka,” the story itself does not include an interview with the first daughter.”
I can testify! I skimmed it while in the grocery check-out line just today!

“How does she warrant all this ‘covefafe’? We want to know about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie right?”
Yeah they haven’t denied they had a threesome.
I hope all this tasty salt is not bad for me...LOL.
COVFEFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A couple months ago the cover article from this rag was also based on “unnamed sources”and was about how much Melania hates her husband and is miserable. The World Weekly News had more factual news than this celebrity rag. At least everyone knew it was fake.
