Is Ivanka Trump a secret Democrat? No – and neither is Melania | Arwa Mahdawi
Some liberals have a weird urge, based on the flimsiest evidence, to see conservative women as misled victims of Maga men
Her father may have been voted into the highest office in the land, but have the results of the US election left Ivanka Trump feeling low? Deep down, did the former first daughter hope Kamala Harris might prevail?
The idea that Ivanka, who appears to have made enormous amounts of money during her dad’s first term, might have secretly been rooting for Harris seems preposterous. But consider, for a moment, the evidence, which is this: a blue pantsuit. Ivanka, who was absent for much of her dad’s campaign, rocked up to Trump’s victory party – creepy “slumlord” husband in tow – wearing a bright blue ensemble. Since blue is associated with Democrats, tongues started wagging. Was this a fashion statement or a political statement? Was Ivanka trying to send a message that she was Team Kamala?
