Now that her half-sister Ivanka Trump has put the brakes on her relationship with her father, Donald Trump following his arrest and arraignment in Manhattan, Tiffany Trump appears to be stepping up quality time with her dad. Unlike Ivanka, she was on-hand when her dad speechified at Mar-a-Lago after the arraignment.

“Tiffany was barely seen or heard from during Donald’s years in the White House — but she’s angling herself to be a major player if he regains the office (ugh),” one source alleged regarding Tiffany, who is Trump’s only child with ex-wife Marla Maples.

Tiffany’s half-brothers Don Jr. and Eric were also on-hand. Ivanka, Melania, and the couple’s son Barron were nowhere to be seen, RadarOnline reports.

During his arraignment in April, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying records related to hush-money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal ahead of the 2016 election.

And Ivanka has continued to remain notably silent about her father’s criminal indictment on a slew of federal charges that include violating the Espionage Act. She did, however, call him the “most incredible father” in a message she sent on his 77th birthday Thursday and wished him “a year filled with the happiness you deserve.”

RadarOnline reports some insiders reveal that Ivanka has felt a change in the family dynamic. The former key advisor announced last fall that she would not be involved with her father’s 2024 campaign.

“I love my father very much,” she explained at the time. “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating.”

In the meantime, there are those in Ivanka’s inner circle who say she’s questioning if distancing herself from her father was the right decision. “Ivanka underestimated Tiffany,” a source said. “She really didn’t think Tiffany had it in her to emerge from the shadows.”

One Trump rep insisted the two women get on well, but the source mentioned above claims that “Ivanka feels Tiffany is pulling the rug out from under her.”

Supposedly when Ivanka put herself on the sidelines this time around, there are those who claim Tiffany used this as an opportunity to butter up Dad.

“Tiffany is putting herself in a position that she’s going to have a say in her father’s business dealings and claim a bigger share of his fortune,” the source said.

Whatever. If Ivanka and Tiffany have merely sucked up to their father for his money, then I’d say all three are getting what they deserve. Rarely does it ever get shallower than two women currying favor with a wealthy man who is morally bankrupt.
