Donald Trump Jr. and his sister Ivanka are behaving like they’re waiting for another shoe to drop.
Former president Donald Trump’s eldest children enjoyed a high profile when he served in the White House, and his namesake son has tried to stay in the spotlight on social media and by recording personalized video messages for $500 each — which Guardiancolumnist Arwa Mahdawi flagged as suspicious.
“What gives?” she writes. “Is the former president’s eldest child desperate for attention or desperate for money?”
Trump Jr. seems to be just as addicted to social media attention as his father, but Mahdawi noted that he and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle recently sold their home in the Hamptons for more than $8 million, almost double their purchase price just two years ago.
Ivanka Trump seems to have given up her aspirations to run for the U.S. Senate in Florida, as has been rumored, and stepped back from social media to focus on “family time.”
Eric Trump’s wife Lara has also declined to announce her own candidacy for Senate in North Carolina, as had also been rumored, and has instead remained a surrogate for the twice-impeached one-term president as a paid contributor on Fox News.
