Ivanka Trump has been badly lashed on Twitter after she shared photos of her visit to a national park amid the coronavirus pandemic for what appeared to be a photo opportunity.
Twitter users saw the post as an opportunity to blast the President Donald Trump’s daughter and personal adviser after she tweeted photographs on Thursday of herself celebrating the passage of The Great American Outdoors Act at the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

Ivanka Trump hailed the widely welcomed bipartisan legislation, which her father has said he will sign, to address maintenance backlogs in national parks and secure funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, with this post:
The pandemic has made us value, now more than ever, the national treasure that is our parks & the respite they afford our families.

“The pandemic has made us value, now more than ever, the national treasure that is our parks & the respite they afford our families,” wrote Trump.
Although her detractors questioned she was there in the first place.
They also accused the White House of “greenwashing,” given its decidedly anti-environmental agenda and previous attempts to gut the Land and Water Conservation Fund of its funding almost altogether.
Some even put their own spin on what the pandemic that has now killed more than 140,000 people in the United States had really made them value.
“The pandemic has made us value, now more than ever, decency, integrity, honesty…all the things you aren’t capable of,” said one Twitter user, referencing to the Trump administration’s disastrous approach of handling the coronavirus crisis.

Another user added: “It’s made me value competent governance, more than ever. Too bad we lack it.”
The pandemic has also made us value democracy — it’s an effective tool for destroying nepotism.

The pandemic has a death toll of 145,000 on US soil because President Coronavirus @realDonaldTrump has failed Americans. Plus, @POTUS is no friend of the environment. https://t.co/m6kAq7BFBf https://t.co/lYRBnPY8Uh

145,000 Americans are dead, but sure, we’ll look at some pictures of you having a marvelous time outside on the taxpayer’s dime.

None of us can afford to travel for any sort of vacation, but I’m glad you get to use taxpayer money to go places we can only wish to see. Good times.
