A video of Ivanka Trump's bodyguard forcefully pushing away a passerby has gone viral, sparking debate online. The clip, originally shared on TikTok, shows US President Donald Trump's daughter walking hand-in-hand with her husband, Jared Kushner, as they exit an event and head to their car.
As the couple makes their way through the crowd, a man in a black T-shirt is seen walking close to them. Moments later, Ivanka's bodyguard, who was following behind, swiftly intervenes, shoving the man away. Startled, the man appears to push back, leading to a brief but intense confrontation. The bodyguard then forcefully pushes the man again, sending him to the ground.
The altercation left bystanders stunned, with gasps heard in the video as the man fell. Ivanka and Jared briefly paused before being escorted into their car, while the bodyguard raised a finger at the man in warning.
