Ivanka Trump recently put any speculation about her return to Washington D.C. to rest, asserting that she has no interest in stepping back into the political fray alongside her father, President Donald Trump. Contrary to what might have been expected following his election victory, Ivanka is not looking to join the ranks of political advisers and aides that line the halls of power. Instead, she has declared politics to be a “very dark, negative business” that she would prefer to avoid.
In a recent podcast appearance, she described her distaste for the world of politics while expressing her love for policy and the impact it can have. It seems that while the prospect of rubbing elbows with power players may be tempting, the moral murkiness and tumult of political life does not sit well with her. One can almost picture her waving the proverbial white flag in surrender, stating that if it comes down to choosing between family and the political arena, family will always win. After all, who wants to navigate the choppy waters of political battlefields when one can instead enjoy family movie nights?

Ivanka says she’s done with politics and won’t be working in the White House.

Ivanka also elaborated on the burden her father carries, calling the presidency “the world’s loneliest position.” It’s a job filled with heavy decisions and an incessant stream of transactional relationships. In a world where a handshake can carry insidious undertones, it’s easy to see why she would want her dad to kick back and enjoy a game of football or a quiet night at home after the chaos of the Oval Office. It’s evident that Ivanka recognizes her role as a supportive daughter, stepping away from the capital’s drama to offer a comforting presence instead.
In her quest to prioritize family, particularly her children, Ivanka made it clear that the true reason for staying out of her father’s administration is the cost of public service on a family. While many political families might view such sacrifices as an acceptable trade-off, she is not willing to make that choice for her kids. Her commitment to being an attentive mother is both commendable and relatable, and she underscores that every missed milestone has lasting repercussions. This refreshingly maternal perspective might make some political insiders squirm, but it plays well with everyday Americans who value family above all else.
As the Biden administration continues to push policies that many believe fail to resonate with the average American, Ivanka’s departure from official politics paints a stark contrast to the political theatrics currently on display. Perhaps her choice to remain out of the limelight will serve as a reminder that while political pursuits may offer power and influence, the love of family and the joy of everyday moments are priceless treasures in life. Instead of joining the gladiators in D.C., it appears she has chosen the path of the peaceful warrior, supporting her father from the sidelines.
