Ivanka Trump has distanced herself from her father’s administration since he left office.

She “hated all the criticism and threats” that came with politics, The New York Post reported.

Ivanka Trump is unhappy about losing friends and just wants a “normal life,” the Post reported.
Ivanka Trump was dissatisfied with how her friends turned their backs on her during her father’s administration, The New York Post reported Thursday.
“Ivanka resented all the criticism and threats and was dissatisfied with how many of their friends turned their backs on them,” an unnamed source told the Post.
“She thinks it’s bad for her family… and generally negative in her circle of friends,” the source said, adding that the former president’s daughter hasn’t made any new friends during her time as an unpaid White House adviser.
The source added: “She wants as normal a life as she can arrange for her and her family.”
The report comes after Ivanka Trump was notably absent from her father’s presidential campaign launch in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday. However, her husband and former presidential adviser to Trump, Jared Kushner, was in attendance.
Trump’s eldest daughter said in a statement that she loves her father “very much” but has no plans to stay in the political arena any longer.
“This time I choose to prioritize my children and the private life we create as a family. I do not intend to be involved in politics,” the statement said.
Ivanka Trump and Kushner served as unpaid senior advisers to Trump during his administration. Despite their limited political experience, they had a significant amount of influence over Trump’s policy initiatives.
During her time in the White House, many of Ivanka Trump’s former friends spoke of cutting ties with her over her father’s presidency and political stance.
Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said in September that she was friends with Ivanka Trump until she “went to the dark side.”
Lysandra Ohrstrom, Ivanka Trump’s childhood best friend, said in a telling essay last year that their differing stances on social issues led to them growing apart.
“I think it’s high time one of the many critics from Ivanka’s childhood stepped forward – if only to make sure she truly will never recover from the decision to tie her fate to her father’s.” Ohrstrom wrote.
Ivanka has steadily moved away from her father’s administration since leaving.
In June, she told House Select Committee investigators she “accepted” Attorney General William Barr’s analysis that no substantial fraud had been committed in the 2020 election, despite her father’s long-held position that it was his stolen.
At the end of the Trump presidency, Kushner and Ivanka Trump left Washington DC and moved to Miami, Florida with their young three children.
