Ivanka Trump Snubs Lara Trump in Family Post, Then Shares Snap with Her
Ivanka Trump shared a photo with Lara Trump after completely omitting her from a previous family post, raising eyebrows and igniting criticism.
On June 23, the First Daughter posted a snapshot on Instagram featuring herself, her half-sister Tiffany Trump, and Lara Trump. The image captures Ivanka making a silly face behind the two women. This moment appears to have been snapped during the wedding festivities for her brother, Donald Trump Jr., and his wife, Bettina, which took place on May 21.
In the photo, Ivanka sports a black-and-white polka dot dress, while Lara wears a bright orange woven top and Tiffany dons a tan spaghetti strap shirt. This post followed a series of earlier images from the wedding weekend that notably excluded Lara.
On June 22, Ivanka shared a carousel of wedding photos. The first image features Donald Jr. photobombing Ivanka as she poses with her husband, Jared Kushner. Another shot shows Ivanka, Jared, and Bettina enjoying the beach at night.
The third image includes Ivanka, Tiffany, and Eric Trump, Lara's husband, smiling at the newlyweds. Additional photos showcase the couple post-ceremony and Ivanka with her niece, Kai Trump.
Despite the celebratory tone, not all followers were impressed. One commenter described Ivanka's post as "staggering" in its tone-deafness, while another remarked on the disconnect between the lavish display and the struggles faced by many Americans.
Comments poured in criticizing the ostentatious nature of the posts. One user noted, "The MAGAt peasants think the billionaires care for their plight," while another quipped about the apparent obliviousness to current societal issues.
Others expressed disdain for the perceived elitism, with remarks like "Grifters and crooks" and "corrupt traitors" surfacing in the comments section.
In contrast, Donald Jr. humorously claimed he executed "the best photobomb ever," while Bettina expressed gratitude towards Ivanka in her own comment.
Supporters of Ivanka praised the family photos, with one declaring them "the most beautiful presidential family in history." Another chimed in with admiration for their unity and strength.
The wedding itself was an intimate affair with around 40 attendees, including Donald Jr.'s five children and their partners. Notably absent were President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
The President addressed his absence on Truth Social, citing government obligations and his love for the United States as reasons for not attending his son's wedding.
Throughout the weekend, Ivanka showcased a stylish wardrobe estimated to cost around $8,534. One standout piece was a yellow Leo Lin Rosario Appliqué Bustier Mini Dress paired with white Aquazzura Calypso Calf Raffia sandals.
The dress featured large floral designs and was originally priced at $895, though similar styles are currently available at discounted rates ranging from $445 to $625. The sandals retailed for $1,160 on the Aquazzura website.
