Ivanka Trump faces mockery for sharing life lessons instead of endorsing her dad on election eve
MIAMI, FLORIDA: GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump shared a thread of 17 life lessons on social media platforms X and Instagram on Monday, November 4, instead of endorsing her father a day before the election.

Ivanka's long list included advice on life, friends, and nutrition and quotes from Indian-born American entrepreneur Naval Ravikant and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, per the outlet.
Other points on her list were to "forgive people", "be open to the truth, wherever it leads", and "approach people and life with love and positivity."
She concluded the post and wrote, "Here’s to another year of growth, love, and meaningful moments!"
Ivanka Trump was absent from her father's campaign trail
Ivanka Trump has been absent from the campaign trail with Donald Trump after being one of his biggest advocates in 2016 and 2020 when she introduced her father at the RNC on both occasions.
The New York Times reported that the former president's daughter spent the last two years doing a bit of everything, everywhere instead of stumping for women’s votes in Pennsylvania and other swing states.
Additionally, Ivanka did not speak on stage at the RNC in Milwaukee and appeared only for a brief appearance on the final day. She was also absent for the entire hush-money trial in Manhattan, where her father was convicted of 34 felony counts.
During an interview with the New York Times, Ivanka's husband Jared Kushner revealed that their departure from political life will remain in place even if Donald Trump wins the White House in 2024.
He said, "We’re rooting for him—obviously, we’re proud of him. But, you know, either way, our life will just continue to move forward."
The businessman further added that Donald Trump's retaking the White House would not bring about "a major shift in terms of what we prioritize."
