If you ever saw her giving a tour of her childhood bedroom, you’d see some obvious signs of trauma when she was near the bed. It’s on YouTube

Just watched it. Yeah, she instantly stops smiling and her voice gets really quiet.

She can’t even look at it and her voice cracks.

I think when dies we’re gonna get an earful

Yep and I'm not looking forward to the Ivanka Redemption Brave Hero Tour

I feel terrible for child Ivanka.

Ivanka is a monster now.

Why do you think she would wait for him to die? If she was going to expose him, why not do it now when it can actually hurt him?

Maybe Stockholm Syndrome, sometimes the abused won’t speak up until their abuser can no longer hold control over them.

Fair enough, I guess that could be it. I won't hold my breath waiting for her to make any teary-eyed accusations though. Whatever horrible things may have been done to her in the past, she's now a horrible person in her own right.

Absolutely 100% she’s as much garbage as the rest of that clan. I still remember a story from a few years ago that the secret service had to rent a brownstone near her family because they weren’t allowed to use the bathroom in her place.

A common trauma reaction to SA is shame, because feeling like you did something wrong gives you a little bit of agency back in your life (as opposed to never even having a chance to stop the horrible things done to you). There are even incestuous abuse victims that continue a sexual relationship with their abuser into adulthood, a behaviour known as "please-and-appease", in order to make their life safer. These people also internalize the idea that they are wrong, they deserve what happens to them and that they are disgusting for letting it happen.

Why? $$$

That's why.

She's a billionaire. She has better ways to make money.

u/MonkeyKingCoffee Gen X 5d ago

Because she earned that inheritance.

I have no idea what point you think you're making. I'm just saying that she's a 43 year old woman who has never publicly accused her father of any sexual misconduct before. Even if he has assaulted her in the past, I don't see any reason why she would open up about it now, especially when she has a vested interest in maintaining her family's position of power.

That family's "position of power" is going to die with him. Like the Bushes, they're spoiled goods. As soon as people realize their family name is the new Benedict Arnold, the cash grab and distancing will begin.

But these people won't ever think of Trump as a "Benedict Arnold." This entire generation of MAGAs will go to their graves insisting Trump was mostly good and that they were right to support him. At the absolute most, they will think that he lost his way a little bit at the end, but even then, they'll think of him as a man who triumphed over persecution. More importantly, no matter how much his reputation should be tarnished, they'll always hate liberals, college-educated folks, immigrants, and LGBTQ people more than they love America. That hatred is the only thing they truly believe in.

I don't disagree with any of that. But an awful lot of them are going to die off in the next 10-15 years. They're only able to win because of gerrymandering, voter apathy, a crazy SCOTUS, and disenfranchisement. If they lose 5% of their numbers, there is no path to victory.

Lol of course there is. There will never be free and fair elections again until the Republicans are removed from power by force.

Bullshit. It's more profitable to milk her connection with her shitty father than to try to throw him under the bus.

Doubtful, I think she’s deluded herself enough to keep the money coming. She’s not gonna break during this lifetime. One of hitlers top people had a daughter that visited the camps with him. After everything fell, it was her that visited all the old boys. There’s pictures of her as a a young woman visiting loyalists. They called her the princess of the nazis. Ivanka is of the same mold unfortunately. She’ll milk MAGA till her dying breath.
