- Caitlyn Jenner has been criticized for her support of 'anti-LGBT' Donald Trump
- Bruce Jenner was a stalwart Republican before she transitioned into Caitlyn
- Jenner will reportedly be attending the inauguration although it is believed she was not invited by Trump
Donald Trump will be officially sworn in as President of the United States tomorrow
Donald Trump has been urged to dance with Caitlyn Jenner at his inauguration ball on Friday night to prove that he is in touch with America's LGBT community.
The President-elect is unpopular with sections of the LGBT community, and it is apparently believed that the move could provide a way to bolster his support.
His advisers also reportedly believe that a dance with Jenner could build bridges with the party itself.
'It's a brilliant idea,' a member of the incoming administration told Richard Johnson at Page Six.
'The image of Trump dancing with Caitlyn would send a strong message that he supports gay rights and trans rights,' the Republican said.
'A picture is worth a thousand tweets.'
Bruce Jenner was a stalwart Republican long before she transitioned into Caitlyn.
The former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete has been called the most famous openly transgender woman in the world, but has received criticism within the LGBT community for her support of Trump.
The Republican party is often seen to be broadly unsupportive of LGBT rights.
Trump has expressed support for North Carolinas HB2 law, which states that in government buildings, individuals may only use restrooms and changing facilities that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates.
The President-elect has also said that he would rescind the Obama Administrations guidance that transgender students be allowed to use restrooms that match their gender identity, and he has made it clear he would not enforce federal civil rights laws to ensure transgender Americans are treated equally under the law.
Jenner's publicist said: 'Can't deal in hypotheticals. We'll just have to wait and see.'
Jenner will reportedly be attending the inauguration although it is believed she was not invited by Trump, but will attend as a guest of the American Unity Fund, a conservative nonprofit that works on behalf of LGBTQ Americans.
