      A daughter who, although a terrible terrible human being in her own right, at least had the brains to stay well away from his bullshit and keep her head down this time around.

      Don’t know where she is, and I don’t particularly wish her well or wish her ill. I’m just glad we don’t have to hear about her and I’m glad that wherever she is, she’s staying out of her father’s shit show this time. It’s better for us, and I’m sure it’s better for her mental health.

        Oh no, she’s made a few posts online supporting him and his policies. She is not in the lime light, but she is still supporting all this.

        I don’t understand why any family member of a controversial public figure (good or bad) would want to insert themselves into that space. Like, being the kid of Trump or Musk doesn’t give you special insight about society or foreign affairs, so why would you comment on them like some kind of authority? And even if you thought you had some valuable insight, wouldn’t you want it to stand on its own merits? Tom Fischbach is a great example of that, IMO.

          It’s because they grow up in an environment where they never learn the word “no”, money solves every problem, etc. Because they are raised in such a sheltered way they learn to believe that they’re never wrong about anything, so they are natural born leaders.

          The four years of the first Trump administration was likely a rude awakening for people like Ivanka.
