Olivia Wilde blasts Ivanka Trump over photo of President Trump working at hospital
Trump was admitted to Walter Reed on Friday and discharged Monday evening
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Actress Olivia Wilde is calling foul on a photo Ivanka Trump tweeted on Saturday that shows President Trump working out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., as he underwent treatment for COVID-19.
“Nothing can stop him from working for the American people. RELENTLESS!” Ivanka tweeted on Oct. 3 which was accompanied by a photo of Trump sitting in an empty conference room at the opposite end of a table, pen in hand as he appears to thumb through a file of paperwork.
However, Ivanka's post seemingly didn’t sit well with Wilde, 36, as the actress fired back on Monday in response to the image and sentiment.
