Not all step parents or step kids get along. No biggie really. I don’t care for my mom’s husband at all. But I’m cordial and polite for my moms sake. No family is immune from drama.

Just spitballin’ here, but I felt Ivanka persisted in inserting herself at every opportunity during Trump 1.0. Like a Shadow First Lady.

Melania resented that, I’m sure. Regardless of the level of interest she had in discharging First Lady duties on a daily basis, women don’t like being “usurped”

Now it’s Trump 2.0 and Ivanka is nowhere to be seen at the White House.

I doubt they ever truly liked each other.

It may be also unsettling for Ivanka that her stepmother is 11 years older than her.

Could be.

I was 15 years older than my stepdaughter. In our case, it gave us a bond because we were so similar generationally.

It could easily go the other way. I think the mother has a lot to do with it, too. Amanda’s mom & I got along well (unusual)

Surprise surprise

If he had to choose, it would be Ivanka all the way, remember what he said about her?? “ I’d be dating her if she wasn’t my daughter” 🤮
