CNN: Ivanka Trump is done with politics and says she isn't coming back
CNN - (archived: https://archive.ph/vubTM ) Ivanka Trump is done with politics and says she isn’t coming back

For Ivanka Trump’s entire adult life, she worked for her father.
When Donald Trump was a real estate mogul, she was designing his next hotel. When he was on a reality TV show, she was in his television boardroom. When he was running for office, she was on the campaign trail. When he was president, she had an office in the West Wing.
But in January of 2021, for the first time since she was 23 years old, she left Washington – and his employ.
Ivanka Trump is done with politics and says she isn’t coming back.
“I love my father very much. This time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she said in a 2022 social media post after her father announced his third run for the presidency.

to bring an end to politics then. No Ivanka? No need to carry on.
Good riddance! Hopefully her brothers follow her example ASAP!
I’ll never forget her presumptuous horning-in on the discussion among trained and experienced diplomats.
“Hey gang! Isn’t my daddy doing…um…like…you know…just a totally awesome job as President?…”
(Paraphrased, but pretty close to her actual vacuousness.)
There's an even better angle that shows her being rebuffed by an entire group, but I can't find it online anymore. I have the picture on a flash drive somewhere.
