Donald Trump has become the 47th president of the United States. In his second term, he may be a more experienced politician, some of this was glimpsed in his own victory speech. Not only Trump’s way of working, but also the team of advisors around him may see a change this time. The big change in this is that Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara, can be the replacement for his daughter Ivanka. There is speculation that Lara, who was very active during the elections, could be Trump’s main advisor.
What did Ivanka do before?
Ivanka is a big name in the American fashion industry, she created a brand and ran it right. Ivanka herself did the marketing for the brand that designs women’s clothing, shoes, bags and jewelry. During this time it became clear that I could do jobs like advertising. Later, when Trump became president, his brand became controversial. People began to whisper that he was polishing his image in his father’s name. Even in 2008, Ivanka closed her brand, but by then she had already become politically active.
He began to be seen with Trump on big occasions. She was a senior advisor in the White House and worked on social issues such as women, children and family. He also began to appear on the international stage. So much so that there was speculation that she could become her father’s political successor in the future.
There was also speculation in the media about his possible political role and what he could become. Her husband Jared Kushner also played an active role in the Trump administration. Seeing this, speculations intensified. But when Trump lost the election in the last election, Ivanka distanced herself from politics and began focusing on her personal life while living in Miami.
What is changing now?
When the entire United States was divided in the 47 presidential elections, Ivanka was not seen as active. Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara, was seen in her place. During the election campaign, she was seen with Trump at many rallies, while she did much of the campaign alone. Eric Trump’s wife was seen center stage even after his historic victory. Lara was on Trump’s right side at Wednesday’s celebration. With this, the praise for Lara began on social networks. It began to be written that she is the new star of MAGA, who has a great contribution to the victory.
Who is Lara and what does she do?
Lara, 41, was a television producer and worked for a long time at a large media outlet. About ten years ago he joined Eric Trump and little by little his participation in politics began to increase. After getting married, Lara joined the Trump Organization and worked hard in social work. Since Lara had experience in the media, she worked as a communications strategist in campaigns before her first term. Even in 2020, he continued to campaign with Trump. But this time his style was sharper.
Long campaign in undecided states
Trump’s trust in his daughter-in-law also increased after a decade. This was also visible. Lara continued to travel to swing states to rally Trump supporters and win undecided voters to his side. He campaigned extensively in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. There is talk that Lara, who is constantly seen with Trump on stage, may be named a cabinet member or senior adviser. He could also take on great responsibility in international affairs.
Is Lara’s arrival a sign of Ivanka’s departure?
This cannot be said with certainty. During her father’s first term, both Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were in high spirits. Also in 2020, both participated in the election campaign, but this time both were almost absent. Giving almost a clarification on this, he said that I love my father very much but for the moment I have decided to give priority to my children and my family. I have no intention of joining politics.
Referring to Ivanka, Donald Trump himself said that no one has gone through what my family has gone through. Ivanka had a successful clothing business. She made a lot of money but when I came to power she had to stop doing it. There’s no direct discussion, but it looks like Lara could now make it to Trump’s cabinet instead of Ivanka.
Can nepotism return in the country?
After the victory on Wednesday, Trump and his extended family were also seen on stage. On social networks there was talk that a new dynasty had arrived in the country. It may be said jokingly, but the truth is that nepotism flourished in American politics for a long time.
The Kennedy family was one of the most famous political families there. John F. in his sixties Family members remained active in politics before and after Kennedy took office. This is the story of the Bush and Clinton families, who had a lasting influence on American politics. After the Clintons, family rule seemed to be coming to an end, but with Trump this discussion was aired again. However, it doesn’t seem like the old method is going to work. Now voters want to see new faces, so the tradition of corruption is largely over, at least in the United States.
