As you may recall, Ivanka Trump’s most recent admission for bowing out of the dog-eat-dog world of politics isn’t much different from what she has said before when pressed about her decision. Ivanka first made her stance on her father’s future crystal clear on November 15, 2023, when she explained in no uncertain terms that she would not participate in her father’s bid for another presidency. “I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family,” she exclusively told Fox News Digital. She added, “I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life,” she declared.
As evidenced by her Instagram account, Ivanka’s life since leaving the White House has been chock-full of quality time with her kids and her husband, Jared Kushner, being out in nature, traveling, surfing, and even learning to fly a helicopter. Still, it appears there are many unchecked items on Ivanka’s bucket list — including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. “The only thing keeping me from doing it in the short term is I feel like it’d be such a great experience to do with my kids, and I’d love to have that experience with them,” she told podcast host Lex Fridman in July.
