Wow, Has Ivanka Trump Actually Broken Up With Her Father for Good?

Ivanka Trump is avoiding her dad like a hot potato right now and is stone-silent, especially now that he’s announced that he expects to be indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over the $130,000 hush money scandal.

She also hasn’t talked about former dear old dad’s other legal scandal — the one in Georgia where Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is gathering all the evidence and wrapping it up with a bow tie to indict him over his alleged meddling in Georgia’s 2020 election, Queerty reports.

But she did break her silence Monday, by wishing her youngest son a happy birthday on Twitter.

“Happy 7th Birthday to our sweet Theo!” she wrote. “You bring so much joy and love into our lives every day with your kind, positive, and energetic spirit. I love you to the moon and back again!”

“May this year bring you laughter, love, adventure and many more trips to the skate park.”

It’s understandable that Ivanka has deep-sixed her dad, Donald Trump. She worked for him as a top adviser in the White House, and when she agreed with the then-Attorney General Bill Barr that there was no evidence of election malfeasance, he b*tched her out.

“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying Election results,” Trump thundered in a Truth Social post. “She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).”

Ivanka knows that if her father is in hot water, he’s done this all by himself, so if she’s choosing to spend time focusing on her son it’s completely understandable. And when she testified earlier this month, she threw dad and her brothers right back in that hot water after telling a New York judge that she had zip, nada, zilch to do with any of the fraudulent activity alleged in the $250 million lawsuit against the Trump Organization. That lawsuit was filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James last year.

According to Ivanka’s lawyers the fraud lawsuit “does not contain a single allegation that Ms. Trump directly or indirectly created, prepared, reviewed, or certified any of her father’s financial statements.”

“Other individuals were responsible for those tasks,” the lawyers alleged. And yes, we can safely assume those “other individuals are Trump himself, Don Jr. and Eric.

And this is exactly what Donald Trump’s estranged niece, Mary Trump predicted would happen last year. As far back as January 2022, Mary said Ivanka would flip on her father to save herself if necessary. She added Ivanka was likely making a “calculation” to see “what would help her in the long run.”

“She knows she has to come down on the right side of things,” Mary said way back then. “Or, she’ll continue to stay her father’s ally, and have to see how that plays out.”

“She’s in a very bad situation because she must understand that if Donald feels it’s necessary, he will stop protecting her. Donald will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it’s in his best interest to do so.”

But Trump’s eldest daughter isn’t the only woman who’s icing him out. His own wife Melania is also keeping her own distance.

“Melania is leading her own life, and still feels happy being at Mar-a-Lago, surrounded by people who love her and who never talk about reality, or bad things about her husband,” one source told People recently.

“She doesn’t sympathize with Donald’s plight.”

And the source also said, “Melania loves the beautiful weather and resort town atmosphere of Palm Beach. She is happy when she is in Palm Beach. She has her son and other close family members. They are tribe-like and usually stick together. Despite what happens to Donald, she will be fine. She is well taken care of.”

So this is Trump’s situation in what is likely the final years of his life, when he may go down in history as the only U.S. president to be indicted twice and face criminal prosecution.

It’s not a good look from here.
