In the whirlwind of political and personal drama surrounding the Trump family, Ivanka Trump appears to be charting a different course from her father, former President Donald Trump. Multiple sources indicate that Ivanka has been gradually distancing herself from her father’s political career and public image.
This strategic distancing comes as no surprise, given the tumultuous legal battles the Trump family has been facing. Ivanka’s decision to distance herself is not only a personal choice but also seems to be aimed at protecting her husband, Jared Kushner. As she navigates this tricky path, there is speculation that Tiffany Trump, her half-sister, may be preparing to step into the limelight as the “new first daughter.”
Tiffany, who spent most of her childhood in California with mother Marla Maples, has often been considered the less visible Trump child. However, she has recently shown signs of increased involvement in her father’s political sphere, sparking rumors that she might be looking to fill the void left by Ivanka’s absence.
And even though Ivanka is keeping her distance from her father and his associates, that didn’t stop her from extending well wishes to Tiffany for her 30th birthday today. Ivanka posted a heartfelt birthday message to Tiffany on her Instagram stories.
“Happy Birthday @tiffanytrump!” Your light shines so bright, and your spirit lifts us all. Welcome to the best decade yet,” Ivanka captioned a photo of the two holding hands on Tiffany’s wedding day in November 2022. “May your 30s be filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures! Love you and love celebrating you! ????????????????” Interestingly enough, Tiffany held her wedding at Donald Trump’s highly controversial Mar-a-Lago, which some had taken as a move meant to get Tiffany in her father’s good graces.
The message feels standard for anyone celebrating a sibling’s birthday, but it also feels like a public acknowledgement of Tiffany’s growth, perhaps hinting at her approval of Tiffany’s increasing involvement in the Trump political legacy despite the fact she has chosen to step away from it all. The two have reportedly bonded over the “shared trauma” of watching all of their father’s legal battles duked out in public. It will be interesting to see how the family dynamics continue to shake out on the long road to the 2024 election.
