Ivanka has the right to go where ever she wants just like you have the right to say whatever you want. There’s gotta be more memories about your experience than that surely.

Why was Ivanka Trump at the 2018 Winter Olympics?
President Trump’s oldest daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump traveled to PyeongChang, South Korea to head the U.S delegation during the 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony. During the trip, she had the opportunity to meet and dine with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and greeted athletes from Team USA on Sunday before the closing ceremony.
Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have received harsh criticism for their visits to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Pence received backlash for being seated next to Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean president Kim Jong-un, during the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
