According to Business Insider, Ivanka Trump recently made a social media post that caught the attention of many. In celebration of her daughter Arabella Kushner’s bat mitzvah, Ivanka took to Instagram to share her joy and pride. However, what struck observers was the absence of her father, former President Donald Trump, and his wife, Melania, in the photos she posted.
The carousel-style Instagram post featured ten heartwarming pictures from Arabella’s bat mitzvah celebration. Curiously, Donald Trump was nowhere to be seen in any of the images shared on Ivanka’s Instagram grid. In the caption accompanying the post, Ivanka expressed her love and immense pride, acknowledging her husband, Jared Kushner, and herself as the ones celebrating their daughter’s milestone.
That said, Ivanka Trump’s Instagram Stories offered a glimpse into the presence of her father at the event. Scrolling past twenty photos on her Instagram stories, one finally encountered a snapshot of Donald Trump. The picture showcased a wide grin on his face as he posed alongside his granddaughter. In her second-to-last Instagram story related to the event, Ivanka thanked her father and Melania for arranging the sweet celebration for Arabella. The image accompanying the text depicted Arabella seated at a table, with Donald and Melania Trump beside her, while Ivanka and Jared stood behind them.
“With an abundance of love and immense pride, Jared and I celebrated our daughter Arabella’s Bat Mitzvah this past weekend. We reflect on the weekend with full hearts and an abundance of joy and gratitude.”
The intricacies of Ivanka Trump’s Instagram activity did not go unnoticed, especially in light of a recent report by Page Six. According to the report, citing sources close to Ivanka, she intended to distance herself from her father as he faced federal charges of mishandling top-secret information. The report suggested that Ivanka had made this decision in an attempt to separate her personal and professional life from the legal troubles surrounding her father.
The backdrop to these developments was a 49-page indictment unsealed on Friday, which levied numerous charges against Donald Trump. The charges included 37 counts of wrongdoing, with 31 falling under the Espionage Act. Donald Trump was scheduled to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday to address these charges. Following the hearing, he was expected to return to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he would deliver a speech later that evening.
