Ivanka was the canary in the coal mine

[NanceGreggs]

Throughout the disaster of the Trump era, no one defended, protected, and championed Donald more than his daughter Ivanka - and no one was more openly enamoured of his beloved daughter than dear ol' dad.

And now Ivanka has put as much distance between herself and her father as is humanly possible - refusing to be seen with him, refusing to stand with him during his bid for re-election, refusing to be at his side as he confronts his legal woes - even to the point of changing her last name.

Is Ivanka trying to cover her own ass? Absolutely. Is she choosing to distance herself from her corrupt father out of fear of the consequences of her own potential entanglement in his crimes? Absolutely.

But there is something more telling here - the fact that Ivanka no longer sees Daddy Donald as having the power to protect her from what is about to unfold.

When the Darling Princess acknowledged that her Daddy Dearest is no longer the All-Powerful Ruler of the Castle, the rest of the kingdom should have taken note - and gotten out of town before it was too late.
