On March 31, Ivanka Trump spoke on the unfortunate goings-on with her father via a simple Instagram Story. The story showed an image with simple black text on a white background. It read, «I love my father, and I love my country. Today, I am pained for both. I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern.» While the message was clearly committed to not making too much of a statement, Ivanka made it obvious that she’s supporting her dad.
While Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, were close advisors for Donald Trump during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns for president, the pair has not been involved in his 2024 campaign. While this was a surprise to some and sparked rumors that the couple had backed out of their support for Donald, he insists that he told them not to get involved with his campaign in order to keep them out of the line of fire when, in his words, «the Fake & Corrupt News» inevitably become «too mean and nasty» (via Truth Social). In an interview with Fox News Digital, Ivanka shared, «I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.» Regardless of why Ivanka and Kushner aren’t involved in the current campaign, it’s positive for Donald’s sake that his daughter has spoken out and shared her support.
