Ivanka Trump was once a constant figure in Washington D.C. but lately she’s been absent from the world of politics. Sources suggest that her father, President Donald Trump, has exiled her to Florida. Once one of the most powerful women in D.C., working as a senior advisor in her father’s administration, Ivanka has now swapped political strategy sessions for sunrise swims, smoothies, and social media posts. And according to those in the know, this “banishment” to the Sunshine State wasn’t exactly her choice. Insiders say Donald Trump has effectively exiled his daughter from politics, keeping her far from the drama of his second White House run.
Four years into her Florida lifestyle, Ivanka’s mornings are more likely to start with a beach towel than a policy memo. Friends say she begins her day with meditation, exercise, or even surfing—the kind of “new passions” that seem tailor-made for Miami living. She then pivots into mom mode, making breakfast for her three kids with Jared Kushner, Arabella, 14, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, 9, before sending them off to school. And once the house is quiet, it’s all about the gym, tennis, or curating envy-inducing Instagram snapshots from her $24 million mansion on Indian Creek Island, otherwise known as the “Billionaires’ Bunker.”
For Ivanka, Florida life is glossy, glamorous, and undeniably insulated. Her grandmother, Marie “Babi” Zelnickova, even lives with the family in their waterfront compound, adding an intergenerational flair to the Trump-Kushner household (via Daily Mail). Neighbors include Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, proving that while Ivanka may be exiled from D.C., she’s hardly been cast into obscurity.
Donald Trump’s Daughter Ivanka Trump Stays Away From Politics In Florida
Still, some friends whisper that her carefully crafted routine looks… well, boring. After all, this is a woman who once sat at the center of global power, weighing in on White House decisions and accompanying her father on the world stage. Now, she fills her time with weightlifting (creatine shakes included), jiu-jitsu classes with her kids, and the occasional high-profile vacation. It’s not exactly the Oval Office.
And while Ivanka claims this Florida move was about prioritizing family, even that narrative has holes. Jared, now running his investment firm Affinity Partners, spends much of his time in the Middle East chasing deals. The kids are at school all day. Which leaves Ivanka, 43, free to focus on sculpting her physique and maintaining her Instagram-perfect brand.
That hasn’t stopped her from sliding back into her old fashion-girl life. She’s been spotted at galas in Venice, rubbing shoulders with Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah, and Bill Gates, and even hanging with Karlie Kloss and Gisele Bündchen in Costa Rica. What’s ironic? Both women have publicly distanced themselves from Trump politics, yet Ivanka seems unbothered, happily building a “girl squad” with her father’s critics.
The Internet Reacts
All of this sends a clear message: Ivanka is done with the dark, combative side of Washington and is relishing her Florida chapter. But for Donald Trump, the optics are just as important as the politics. By sidelining his daughter, he not only removes a potential distraction but also underscores the shift in his inner circle.
“Sounds like a dull existence,” one person commented. “All of this said is the absolute truth and yet all the MAGA Morons just won’t believe one negative thing about this horrific family,” another person declared. “She’s a wealthy woman so she does what all wealthy women who don’t work do,” a third comment read.
Ivanka Trump’s “exile” may feel like freedom dressed in couture. But for the rest of us watching from the outside, it’s proof that no matter how far she strays from Washington, the Trump name and her father’s decisions still shape her life. And in Florida, that means sipping protein shakes in the sun while the rest of the political world burns.
