Ivanka Trump shared a lengthy “life’s lessons” list on social media on the eve of the election — but stopped short of mentioning her dad, former President Donald Trump, or his fight to take back the White House.
The former first daughter and key adviser doled out the 17 “truths” she has learned throughout her life after recently celebrating her 43rd birthday last Wednesday — racking up well over 10 million views on X in a matter of hours.
Trump’s eldest daughter started the list by saying that “family and friends are everything,” without name-checking her dad a day before his crucial Election Day.
“Nourish these relationships, check in on them, and let people know you care, even across distances,” the mom-of-three posted on X alongside a photo of her with a birthday cake.
Other nuggets of wisdom included the need to “forgive people,” avoid gossip and choose “words that heal, not harm.”
Ivanka, too, urged followers to “trust yourself,” “nourish your body” and “get sunshine daily.”
Her lengthy post also featured quotes from the likes of Dolly Parton, psychologist Carl Jung and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius — as she stressed the importance of being “open to the truth” and spending time time and energy on “what truly matters.”
“Be open to the truth, wherever it leads. Listen, reflect, challenge, and grow. Cultivate creativity and expansion in life and embrace new ideas, connections, and art,” she wrote.
“Approach people and life with love and positivity. @DollyParton said, ‘I don’t criticize and condemn; I love and accept’,” Ivanka added.
Ivanka, who served as one of Trump’s top advisers during his last stint in the White House, has kept a significantly low public profile during her father’s 2024 presidential campaign.
When her father first announced his re-election bid, the Trump scion made clear she wanted to keep out of the fray this time around.
“I love my father very much. This time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” Ivanka wrote on Instagram at the time.
“While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena.”
In the weeks leading up to Election Day, Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner insisted that she had no plans to jump in and provide a last-minute boost to her father’s campaign.
“Zero,” Kushner told the New York Times last week when asked about the odds of her getting back into the political arena.
“[Ivanka] made the decision when she left Washington that she was closing that chapter of her life. And she’s been remarkably consistent,” he said.
