Ivanka Trump, between politics, family and controversies
She is the eldest daughter and adviser to the President of the United States. Since 2016 she has been active in the Donald Trump campaigns.
On the fourth night of the Republican National Convention, she was introduced to viewers as "The Honorable Ivanka Trump." The title was a recognition of the high position she holds in the White House, although the official protocol on her title is not very clear. The task entrusted to him was clear. Although the White House insisted that she would make the presentation "during her free time" and only as an eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump introduced her father before the US president addressed the convention from the garden of the House. Blanca in a political act as part of the campaign for re-election.
Ivanka Trump has spent the last several years flitting between her dual role as first daughter and top adviser to Donald Trump.
That of the Republican National Convention was, in many ways, an appropriate framework for his presentation because it emphasizes how brazenly he has mixed the personal, the political and the governmental, a mixture that has defined his father's approach to politics, almost as much how polarization has made your brand thrive.
Once, the perceived distance between her and that brand was her greatest asset. Her appearance at the 2016 convention, for example, was meant to grab the attention of suburban women. The campaign believed they could see the eldest of the president's daughters as a more centrist and professional counterpart to a troublemaker candidate with a history of misogynistic behavior.
Before this convention event, attendees were hopeful that she can reach the same audience and project similar appeal.
There Ivanka Trump - in black dress, perfect blonde hair over face - urged voters to look beyond her father's rhetoric and tone. “I recognize that my dad's communication style is not liked by everyone. And I know their tweets can seem a bit unfiltered, "he said. "But the results speak for themselves."
She also said that the president had kept her promise to "support mothers in the workforce."
“Four years ago I told them that I would fight alongside my father. And four years later, here I am ”.
In 2016, Ivanka was one of the most requested presences of the election campaign, her cosmopolitan influence and her apolitical rhetoric served as a kind of balm for women who might have been attracted to the idea of a businessman in the White House but that would never be seen chanting "build the wall!" However, their participation was only a slight trace along the way.
Now, instead, she is eager to do more for the campaign, adopting an explicitly political role. For Donald Trump's campaign, the question is whether Ivanka Trump's transformation will complicate her speech with moderate Republicans and swing voters who once appreciated her for looking more like a check than a stamp of acceptance on her father's agenda.
She made her political debut in 2016. While her father flirted with a travel ban for Muslims, or suggested that Russian officials investigate Hillary Clinton's emails, Ivanka Trump discussed the punitive cost of childcare and her passion for children. feminine themes on the pages of Harper's Bazaar.
Trump's team was confident that women could take their silence on the most controversial elements of their father's campaign as filial deference to the tactics necessary to win the presidency, rather than tacit approval.
But now Ivanka Trump carries the burden of the presidency, nearly four years by which those voters can judge whether the cornerstones of her image - she projected a dampening effect, a commitment to a more progressive agenda on issues like climate change - have been confirmed.
Of family
The eldest daughter of Donald Trump with the model Ivana ZelníčKová, was born in New York in 1981 and since she was a child she was raised with all the luxuries but aware that she had to work to earn "every dollar", as she said in an interview. She studied at Georgetown University and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She has a career as a businesswoman and also as a model. In 1997 she began modeling for the French agency Elite and also had some appearances on television, such as in several episodes of the program The Apprentice.
According to North American media, since 2019 Ivanka is dedicated to politics and shaping herself to, in the future, be a candidate for the presidency.
Earlier this year, she became more actively involved in her father's reelection campaign. She attended the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual gathering of conservative activists, and organized fundraising events in different cities, enjoying her ability, as she put it, to generate "record-breaking" figures for the campaign.
All this has coincided with a more frank use of her Twitter account to defend her father, in contrast to the posed family images and some reflections of politics to which she was previously limited. In October 2019, as a Democratic-dominated lower house moved forward with impeachment proceedings against her father, Ivanka Trump shared a quote from Thomas Jefferson about the "enemies and spies" who were among her political opponents. In July, she tweeted a photo of herself with a can of Goya beans applauding the brand after support from the company's CEO sparked a call to boycott the company.
Introducing her father, Ivanka Trump touched on many of the same topics she commented on in 2016 and reassured voters about her father's commitment to helping working families, as well as her own dedication to women's empowerment and issues. everyday life that transcends party divisions.
However, this time she left no doubt as to the precise nature of her political identity and to what extent it aligns with that of her father. As officially announced earlier this year, Ivanka Trump is now a "proud Trump Republican."
