Melania Trump can take the spotlight and the space in the White House this term because her oldest stepdaughter has decided that she is not going back.
When Donald Trump ran for president for the first time, his daughter, Ivanka Trump, was the face of the campaign.
The businesswoman and mother of three pushed her father’s agenda on the campaign trail and in his ads.
Once Donald Trump was elected, Ivanka Trump was not only an advisor but also overtook the first lady role because Melania Trump opted to stay in New York.
Ivanka Trump attended every meeting and international trip and was present during some of the president’s most significant telephone calls with world leaders.
However, sources close to Ivanka Trump explained via The Daily Mail and The New York Post that things took a dramatic turn on January 6 during the attack on the United States Capitol Building.
Ivanka Trump revealed that it was time to leave politics for good, not because she was affected by the fact that 140 police officers were assaulted during the siege but because she did not want to be in a position where she would be questioned about the horrific events.
One insider said said: “She felt like she was being asked to reveal something she did not know anything about, and she never wants to be in [that] position again. Her family means the world to her, and she is now focusing on being a mom and other private ventures. She is completely happy where she is in her life.”
Ivanka Trump is stepping back because she is also fed up with the circus created when her father was in the political ring and the White House.
Donald Trump faced countless scandals while in office. He had a rotating door of officials because he fired staff members when he felt like it.
During the first Trump term, he dismissed the National Security Advisor, White House Chief of Staff, White House Communications Director, Secretary of Health and Human Services, and more.
A source close to Ivanka Trump told The Mail that she is happy to watch her sister-in-law, Lara Trump, reign over the circus this time.
The insider stated: “She is perfectly fine handing the reins to Lara [Trump] this time around. Not her circus, not her monkeys.”
Another source revealed to Page Six that Ivanka Trump, who has grown a conscience overnight, prefers to use energy and power on other projects to make the world a slightly better place.
The person in the know continued: “I expect that we could see Ivanka work with tech leaders and talk about child safety on the internet, as well as her concerns about child trafficking; that’s the kind of thing she concentrated on in the White House. I think we’ll see her utilize her power in that way.”
Some still believe that the former first daughter will get into politics at some point.
