President Trump has taken a hard line on the protests, calling for the police, the National Guard and even the US Military to "dominate the streets." His Rose Garden address on Monday ratcheted up his stance, with the president threatening to override governors and mayors with "heavily armed" military deployments if they do not do enough to crack down on unrest in their jurisdictions.

Trump also mused on a video conference with governors about why police have not been using more force against protesters.

Through the first three years of Trump's term in office, Tiffany has mostly stayed out of the spotlight and rarely weighed in on political matters contradicting her father's stances.

She has mostly reserved her Instagram for family and travel photos.

Keller, who was white, spoke out about civil rights and racism during her career of being a disability rights advocate.

Tiffany is so far the only one of President Trump's adult children to post on Instagram in solidarity with the protests, with Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric holding off.

Ivanka — the only of the Trump children to hold an official job in the White House — has used her Twitter account to express similar sentiments.
