Ivanka Trump said she was done with politics – but is the Maga Princess plotting a return?

The former first daughter has spent the past few years distancing herself from Donald. Now she's voicing fond memories of working in the White House

If you're a woman freaking out about the imminent possibility of another Trump term, don't despair quite yet. Yes, Project 2025 is hoping to turn the US into a Christian nationalist country. Yes, JD Vance, Donald Trump's running partner, has been primed for the job by Peter Thiel, a man who has mused that women having the vote is problematic. Yes, experts are raising the alarm that a Trump-Vance administration will be the most dangerous administration for abortion and reproductive freedom in this country's history." But it's not all doom and gloom: there may well be a beacon of light and female liberation coming into the White House as well. Signs suggest Ivanka Trump is considering a return to politics. Ladies and gentlewomen, the patron saint of female empowerment may selflessly serve us once again!

To be clear: the younger Trump hasn't explicitly said that she's interested in another go at being Daddy's special adviser. In fact, she's spent the last few years getting as far away from politics as possible. A renaissance woman, Trump has sold everything from handbags to shoes to real estate - but her most valuable product has always been herself. The former first daughter has always been very careful about protecting her personal brand. And, for a while, that meant staying well clear of her father.
