Washington (CNN)Ivanka Trump is poised to play an active role in her father's administration, assuming some of the duties normally assigned to the first lady.
Trump transition aides are already planning for an "Office of the First Family," in the East Wing where the current office of the first lady is located, sources familiar with the plan told CNN.

Melania Trump is still expected to play a role in the White House. However, Ivanka is expected to have a prominent slot as well. A source said she is likely to play the part of Washington hostess as well as advise her father on issues including family leave to climate change.

"No decisions have been made regarding Ivanka's role," Hope Hicks, Trump's spokeswoman, told CNN.

My  D.C. operatives have suggested that she will likely be taking charge of all the bookings for the Lincoln Bedroom!

I hope the sources are wrong.  It seems a little odd to me that his daughter would have an office inside the White House. I also find it very concerning if she's going to be giving Daddy advice on climate change.  She doesn't quite fit in with those on his team that want to "drill baby drill".  Just a hunch here, but something tells me Melania and Ivanka aren't exactly best buddies.

She's there to make sure her pet liberal agenda items get to daddy's desk.

Does the East Wing have a better view than the West Wing.   I would like to book my rooms soon.

Congratulations  America!  You now have a royal family.

Spot on!

And hey, that's just perfectly fine!  TOSers, including some of our own folks, are indignantly upbraiding those who don't post properly adoring---er, I mean respectful--pictures of "our beautiful First Family."

No first lady (even daughters) should have a taxpayer funded office or staff of their own.

It's CNN reporting this, who knows.  The MSM hasn't been exactly reliable and it seem lately the report assumptions rather than facts.  When this news is 'confirmed' then I'd say we have reason for concern.

I thought she was running his businesses.

They aren't even hiding the little "conflict of interest" thingy are they?
