Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has long been one of the most scrutinized figures in American politics. For years, she has been at the center of the public eye, whether it was for her role as a senior advisor in her father’s White House, her successful career as an entrepreneur, or her highly publicized family life. But now, at 43, Ivanka Trump has finally confirmed something that many have suspected for years.
In a candid interview, Ivanka opened up about her personal life, her family, and her future, addressing questions that have lingered for much of her public career. Here’s what she had to say.
A Shift Away from Politics
For years, Ivanka was seen as a key figure in her father’s political operations. She took on a prominent role as a senior advisor during his presidency, often alongside her husband, Jared Kushner. Despite the controversy that surrounded her position, she positioned herself as a champion for women’s rights and economic empowerment. However, after the tumultuous events of the 2020 election and the subsequent political divide, Ivanka has confirmed that she has no intentions of returning to the political spotlight.
“I learned so much from my time in Washington, and I’m incredibly proud of the work we did, but that chapter has closed for me,” Ivanka stated. “I’m focusing on what’s next, and right now, that’s my family and my business ventures.”
Her announcement comes as no surprise to many who had speculated that Ivanka, once a key figure in her father’s administration, would eventually distance herself from politics. The speculation grew stronger following her absence from the political campaigns leading up to the 2024 election.
Embracing Her Role as a Businesswoman
Ivanka Trump has long been known as a successful entrepreneur. Prior to her time in the White House, she helped run the Trump Organization’s real estate empire, but over the past few years, she has branched out into several new ventures. She confirmed that her business interests will be a significant focus moving forward.
“I’ve always had a passion for entrepreneurship and empowering others to succeed,” she explained. “I’m continuing to work on expanding the Ivanka Trump brand, and I’m really excited about the future of my business.”
Ivanka has been focusing on the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle industries, leveraging her brand’s name recognition to build new partnerships and products. She has also been involved in philanthropic efforts, particularly focusing on women’s empowerment and workforce development. Her decision to step away from the political scene and dive deeper into her entrepreneurial pursuits seems to signal a return to the businesswoman that many knew before her political involvement.
