6 Red Flags in Ivanka Trump’s Relationship with Her Father (2 of 4)

Ivanka Faces Public Snafu Without Support from Her Father

During Donald Trump’s first term, Ivanka joined him at the G-20 summit, where she was awkwardly sidelined by other world leaders. In a clip released by the French government, Ivanka attempts to join a discussion, only to receive polite silence in return. Despite her public support for her father, he remained silent on the incident, even as critics questioned her qualifications to represent the U.S. on such a high stage. Congressman Eric Swalwell, for instance, remarked that American citizens deserved an experienced diplomat rather than the president’s daughter. This experience seemed to hint at how Ivanka, even with family ties to power, might sometimes be left on her own when faced with challenges.

Drawing the Line at Legal Drama

After her father’s time in office, Ivanka stepped back entirely from his political and legal troubles. With Donald facing multiple legal cases, Ivanka made it clear she wouldn’t be involved in his defense. Sources revealed that she wanted to start a fresh chapter, one free from the intense scrutiny of Washington. And while she’s kept her distance, Ivanka couldn’t escape entirely: she was recently called to testify in one of his trials, showing just how closely her past connections still follow her.
