Yet in 2017, then-president Donald Trump (aka Dad) brought her into his administration as his assistant.
Ivanka clearly wasn’t in it for the money.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, had also accepted an unpaid senior advisor position shortly before she did.
While other members of his one-term administration came and went, Ivanka’s position stayed secure.
But despite the criticism Ivanka got for it, she opted for the diplomatic route.
So it is with Donald and Ivanka Trump.
… [W]here I disagree with my father, he knows it.
And I express myself with total candor."
Speaking to The Financial Times that same year, Ivanka clapped back even harder (viaYahoo!).
“To voice dissent publicly would mean I’m not part of the team,” she said.
“When you’re part of a team, you’re part of a team.”
The family travels frequently, and they pursue such favorite hobbies as horseback riding and surfing.
Ivanka surprised fans in July when she posted a video of herself learning how to fly a helicopter.
Donald Trump may prefer it that way.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results.
She had long since checked out,” Trump tweeted in response (viaThe Guardian).
This was one occasion in which he probably wished his daughter had kept mum about her opinion.
