Ivanka Trump, a calculated return to the spotlight
Ivanka Trump, after several years of discretion, confides in the podcast Him & Her, displaying a measured posture on her past in the White House and her relationship with politics.
The former advisor to her father, Donald Trump, has opened up about her experience in the administration, marked by personal and professional dilemmas. In an interview with the podcast Him & Her, she stresses that she reluctantly accepted her role, urged on by her father. Despite her initial reluctance, she says she is “privileged” to have had the opportunity to contribute, even if her future involvement now seems unlikely: “I’ll be in Florida, trying to be the best mom I can be.”
Strategic distance
Ivanka Trump insists on her withdrawal from the political scene, which she describes as a “dark world”. This vision contrasts with her past involvement, marked by controversy, notably the $640 million generated by her outside interests during her father’s term in office. However, she seems to have calmed down, expressing her desire to protect her family from the negativity of the world around her.
In contrast, she extols the virtues of her father, calling his journey an “extraordinary trajectory”, while downplaying certain historical truths, such as Donald Trump’s multiple presidential attempts before 2016.
The weight of silence surrounding Melania Trump
The interview also reveals an intriguing angle: Ivanka remains silent about Melania Trump, her mother-in-law. An absence of comment that contrasts with her regular praise for her late mother, Ivana Trump. This silence could reflect latent tensions within the Trump family.
A return under media control
This appearance on Him & Her illustrates a clear strategy: maintaining a carefully controlled public image while distancing herself from the tumult of Washington. Ivanka Trump, now focused on her life in Florida, turns a page, marking the end of a controversial chapter while hinting at a new phase of discretion and family priorities.
