Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, dies at 73
Donald Trump and his family say goodbye to Ivana at a funeral in New York
It must never have been easy being
the daughter of Donald Trump,
putting on one's back the attributes that the leader emanates and debating between cursing him or worshiping him.
Nor is it now, when the world awaits the investigation into the
assault on the Capitol,
that January 6, 2021, after the former president tried to annul the electoral victory of
Joe Biden.
The appeasing posture of Ivanka (40 years old) and her statements or those of her husband,
Jared Kushner
(41 years old), before the commission investigating what happened have created a
schism in the clan.
The tension could grow with the
biographical book
of the son-in-law, about to be published.
The
arrogance
with which the tycoon is used to treating people, his
arrogance
and even his
misogyny
vanish if the interlocutor is his daughter.
She is perhaps one of the few people he doesn't pigeonhole into a
submissive
role .
Aesthetically, he represents a good prop to continue feeling admired and powerful.
She, for her part, comfortably adopted the step of her father and for many she has been the authentic first lady.
However, her weight is much higher.
As
an adviser to the former president,
she was a
key player
in her
electoral campaign
and, given the Americans' taste for presidential dynasties, there are those who speak of her as a possible
candidate for the Oval Office.
On a personal level, the press presents her as her favorite daughter.
Overwhelmed by her father
All this does not imply that Donald Trump lowers with her his need to feel respected, special and unique.
Her delusions of grandeur prevent her from losing control of what may happen in her environment or accepting that her daughter can think and live as she wants.
Hence the more than evident distension even before her electoral defeat.
By discretion, elegance or prudence,
Ivanka is a pure contrast
to her father and her
showmanship
or
unpredictability
have often made her feel
overwhelmed.
During the assault on the Capitol and given his father's lack of judgment when accepting defeat,
he made it clear
that he
does not approve
of the
lack of empathy
in his speeches, that ostentation of his ideas based on prejudices or the way of attacking different groups and minorities.
If he is capable of destabilizing a country and keeping the world's population in suspense, how can he not unbalance her too?
The
press
that follows in the footsteps of the Trump family has been struck by the fact that the
visits of the couple
with their three children to the
parental home
in Mar A Lago, Florida, are
increasingly spaced out.
But Trump after all
Ivanka may have ceased to be the ex-president's self-sacrificing, stalwart, and devoted adviser, but that doesn't mean she's lost his filial love.
She continues to walk hand in hand with her and the tragic
death
of her
mother
,
Ivana Trump,
has encouraged the entire family to meet again, as could be seen during the religious ceremony.
This past week, Ivanka has also supported her father at a professional golf event in New Jersey ahead of the Saudi-backed league's third tournament.
The images show the relaxed conversation of the former president with both his daughter and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The snapshots do not clarify, however,
how Trump will react
when he has in his hands that
Kushner book entitled
'Breaking History;
A White House Memoir' and that promises to be explosive.
As an advance, it has been revealed that, during his tenure as Trump adviser, Ivanka's husband suffered
from thyroid cancer
and kept
both the diagnosis and his subsequent surgery to remove the tumor
a secret .
The memories will see the light on August 27 and will not leave anyone indifferent, except his mother-in-law.
Kushner's figure was decisive in the trade negotiations of the White House with Mexico and China or in the peace process in the Middle East.
His
talent
could have provoked
jealousy
on the part of Trump towards his son-in-law, an entrepreneur who, at the age of 23, has already acquired the newspaper 'The New York Observer'.
They are disappointments that, together with the unexpected death of Ivana, at the age of 73, after accidentally falling down the stairs of her house in New York, are making the summer bitter for a woman accustomed to having the world at her feet.
