Donald Trump is running again for the office of President of the United States, but his favorite daughter does not want to support him in the electoral campaign. The US is now speculating about the reasons.
Donald Trump wants to return to the White House. This was announced by the 76-year-old former president of the United States in front of guests during an appearance at his private residence in Florida. His wife Melania and son Eric Trump stood by him for his great performance. Even the Republican mentioned both in his speech. Trump Jr. missed the show due to a flight cancellation. This too was not unusual. Another family member caused a stir that evening: “First Daughter” Ivanka Trump. She was absent from the hall of Mar-a-Lago.
It is no coincidence that the 41-year-old did not show up for her father’s big evening. As Ivanka herself announced on Instagram, she does not want to be part of Trump’s second team attempt. Since then, there has been speculation in the United States as to why Ivanka Trump is not supporting her father on the campaign trail. A former adviser to the former US president even believes that she may have provided information to the FBI.
During Trump’s first term from 2017 to 2021, Ivanka Trump served as a presidential adviser and was heralded as a rising star in US politics. She was in her spotlight, often giving speeches for her father. Her husband Jared Kushner was also employed as a close adviser to the then president.
Ivanka Trump: She will support my father outside of politics
“I love my father very much. However, this time I choose to prioritize my young children and the personal life we are building as a family. I have no plans to get into politics,” Trump’s daughter wrote in her now-deleted the Instagram story in response to the speculation. She will support her father outside of politics in the future. “I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and I will always be proud of what our administration has accomplished,” she said in the statement.
US news channel CNN quoted an unnamed source close to the family as saying, “You know at this point there is nothing you or your family would need.” Ivanka “never wants to come back to this life.”
The New York Post reported that Trump tried to get his daughter and son-in-law Jared Kushner to go along with his plans at his youngest daughter Tiffany’s wedding. He literally begged for the pair when he announced he would be taking the stage, the report says. “Trump thought he could get Ivanka to come back and campaign for him this weekend, as she was the most in-demand speaker after him last time,” an unknown source said. According to the report, the two had resisted her request, which had caused tension behind the scenes.
Another New York Post report cites an unnamed source on the reasons for Ivanka Trump’s withdrawal: “Ivanka hated all the criticism and threats and was unhappy that many of her friends had turned away from them,” she says. Trump now wants a “normal life”.
Cohen: He thinks Jared and Ivanka are moles
In an interview with US broadcaster MSNBC, Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen advanced a bold thesis: “I think Jared and Ivanka may be the moles,” he said, referring to the raid on Trumps Estate by about three months ago. Apparently, Cohen thinks Ivanka may have been feeding information to the FBI. When investigators searched Mar-a-Lago, they discovered classified government documents.
According to Cohen, the reason could also be simple: the two would have earned about 640 million dollars during their stay in Washington. Also, Kushner’s father Charles was pardoned by Donald Trump. The couple got what they wanted.
Republican support for Trump is waning
Trump is involved in various legal disputes – due to the seizure of secret government documents, the attack on the Capitol, dubious business practices, due to his attempts to retrospectively overturn the outcome of the 2020 election. He lost the 2020 election against Democrat Joe Biden. To this day he has not admitted his electoral defeat. Just last week he announced that he would run for the Republicans again in the 2024 election.
