Some folks in D.C. are not happy about Ivanka's dad moving into the White House — or about Ivanka upending her entire life to move in down the street from pops. It's understandable then, that tensions would run high when Ivanka starts popping into local businesses where owners, employees, and her fellow customers might be adversely affected by Ivanka's dad's policies. This is one of their stories. Dun dun. (That's the Law & Order noise, FYI.)

Ivanka apparently took a class at a location of D.C. workout mecca Solidcore using a fake name, and owner Anne Mahlum wasn't having it.

“What you do when you find out Ivanka Trump just took [Solidcore], but used an alias to sign up for class? You reach out and ask for a meeting,” Mahlum wrote on her Facebook wall.

She continued: “While I don’t know her and I always seek to understand … I do know her father is threatening the rights of many of my beloved clients and coaches and as a business owner, I take my responsibility to protect and fight for my people very seriously.”

When a few people complained that it was unfair of Mahlum to "out" Ivanka, Mahlum doubled down on her previous sentiment in a new statement. She said that her clients and employees had been "adversely effected, directly or indirectly, by the President’s decisions,” and that it’s a “key priority” at Solidcore to respect "everyone’s age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or otherwise.”

Mahlum said again that she'd welcome a dialogue with Ivanka, but so far it doesn't appear the first daughter has taken her up on the offer.
