Ivanka Trump goes to church in Pittsburgh for first official appearance since masterminding THAT photo-op as new book reveals Melania calls her 'The Princess'

Ivanka Trump traveled to Pittsburgh Tuesday and met with black religious leaders in her first trip since masterminding her father's infamous photo-op in front of St. John's church. 

The first daughter and White House adviser was largely credited in The New York Times for President Trump's walk across Lafayette park, which received widespread criticism because 'Black Lives Matter' protesters had been forcibly removed from the area just minutes before. 

Now back on the road, Trump - whose nickname was revealed to be 'The Princess,' according to a new biography of Melania Trump - participated in an event that tackled both race relations and COVID-19.

Trump visited the Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ, located in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood.  

She was accompanied by Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, Pastor Paula White, a faith adviser to the president, and Scott Turner, who heads the White House's Opportunity and Revitalization Council.  

There, the group participated in a food giveaway that is part of the Farmers to Families Food Box Program.

Trump, according to a White House spokesperson, has been working with the faith-based and non-profit communities to help with distribution of the food boxes, which help Americans who have been made food-insecure due to the economic fallout from the coronavirus crisis. 

The first daughter has worked specifically to get the boxes delivered to those living in the 'last mile' - meaning rural and underserved communities.  

The White House adviser shared photos of her day on her Twitter account. 

'Thank you Bishop Mann for hosting us at the Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ in Pittsburgh, PA. Through amazing faith based organizations such as your our #FarmerstoFamilies food box program has delivered over 20 [million] boxes of fruit, meat and dairy to families in need!' she wrote.  

In a follow-up tweet she pointed out that she had visited a historically black church in the Pennsylvania city.  

'Black churches are great forces for justice, equality and human dignity in our nation,' Trump wrote. 

'I was grateful to listen and learn from faith & community leaders how together we can bring about healing and holistic revitalization to underserved communities across the nation,' the first daughter added.
