Tiffany Trump Emerges as New Supportive Daughter Amid Ivanka's Political Absence
While Prince Harry may be known as the royal family's "spare," it appears that Tiffany Trump is stepping into a similar role in the Trump family, as she emerges as a more prominent figure in her father's life. Ivanka Trump, the daughter who was once a constant presence at Donald Trump's side, was noticeably absent from his post-indictment speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday.
However, insiders observed that Tiffany Trump took center stage at the event. A source remarked, "If you look at Tiffany's history, she has never really been involved in the political stuff." But with Ivanka distancing herself from politics, Tiffany seems to be stepping up as the supportive daughter and getting closer to her father.
During her father's tenure in the White House, Tiffany, Donald Trump's daughter with second wife Marla Maples, remained relatively absent or overlooked. She did make appearances at events such as the 2016 and 2020 Republican National Conventions, the State of the Union, and a Trump Pride rally in Tampa in 2020.
In contrast, Ivanka was a fixture on the campaign trail and served as an advisor to her father during his time in office. However, she officially withdrew from politics in November when her father announced his third run for office, choosing to prioritize her family and private life instead.
Sources have previously told Page Six that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, are steering clear of her father's recent legal troubles, focusing on building their lives in Miami. Tiffany, who has not worked for her father like her other adult siblings, has reportedly grown closer to her father and half-siblings, Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr., since her wedding to Michael Boulos last November at Mar-a-Lago.
An insider commented, "The wedding was a bonding moment, and she has been more accepted by the family. It brought them closer." The wedding also served as a significant political event, attracting numerous donors.
During his post-indictment speech, Trump thanked his family, mentioning Tiffany before Ivanka. The Daily Mail reported that following the speech, he spent the evening with Tiffany, her husband Michael Boulos, and longtime adviser Roger Stone.
Tiffany, a Georgetown Law School graduate, currently works as a legal research assistant.
