Ivanka Trump's Vote Behind Impeached Potus 45
JAKARTA - Ivanka Trump also commented on the impeachment of his father, Donald Trump from the chair of President of the United States (US). Ivanka, who is also a presidential adviser, said the impeachment aimed at Trump actually made the yellow-haired president even more eager to fight back.
According to Ivanka, his party is currently preparing a strategy to face the trial before the US Senate. Ivanka believes her father's position in the White House is secure. Apart from the fact that the Senate is dominated by the Republican Party, Ivanka sees support for Trump's impeachment starting to decline in US society.
"(Donald Trump) is angry about wasting his time. However, he is still excited. And it makes you focus on the right things and the priorities," said Ivanka in an interview, reported by the IB Times, Friday, December 20.
Trump will face the Senate trial in 2020. Trump's side hopes a trial can take place in January, to coincide with the conclusion of the congressmen's holiday. Trump's wishes are contrary to the expectations of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, because the DPR has not submitted the articles of impeachment.
It is not known when Pelosi will send the articles. Media reports said some Democrats wanted Pelosi to use the articles as a reference for winning concessions from the Senate.
When interviewed by CBS on Thursday or one day after Trump was impeached, Ivanka called the impeachment part of the Democratic Party's partisan politics. "It has never happened before that support for impeachment decreased over time as more information was given to the American people," said Ivanka.
"(Pmakzulan support) Decreasing, not increasing. So all the time spent, with all the witnesses who didn't have an incident in person, with all the people who have taken action in front of the American people, support for this action has decreased. You know, I think he (Donald Trump) sees everything for what it is, which is really just raw partisan politics, "said Ivanka.
Trump's own impeachment took place on Wednesday, December 18. Trump becomes the third president of the United States to be impeached.
