‘Do You Have a Moral Compass’: Ivanka Trump’s Sunny Snapshot Sparks a Wave of Backlash as Critics Target Her for Staying Quiet While Donald Faces Mounting Scandals

Ivanka Trump was “looking forward to August” in her latest Instagram post, but followers are more interested in her and Donald Trump’s past. The photo shared with 8.5 million users showed Ivanka in a white dress as she looked out at an open field of rolling hills that seamlessly merged with the ocean in the horizon. 

The comment section quickly became a hotbed for blistering remarks about political affairs instead of pleasantries about her style and the picturesque scene captured on camera. “The only thing to look forward to is your father’s impeachment,” wrote one detractor.

Multiple users left gifs of Donald buddied up with felon financier Jeffery Epstein from the 1990s, a trolling ploy amid the public’s demand that federal files about the deceased convict be released. 

A comment along that vein read, “You are always so tone deaf. It’s absolutely ridiculous but you’re your corrupt father’s daughter. #epsteindidntkillhimself.” An anti-MAGA commenter declared that Ivanka was “complicit af,” though they did not clarify the wrongdoings. 

Others asked questions like, “Do you have a moral compass?” and, “You still stealing from cancer charities?” In 2017 Forbes accused The Eric Trump Foundation of allocating donor funds, intended to help the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, to Donald’s foundation and family businesses.


A few more followers crudely alluded to Ivanka and Donald having a strange father-daughter relationship by sharing a collage of PDA photos. One person boldly typed, “You wear the same clothes that your father thinks are sexy.”

A half-sympathetic follower chimed in to say, “I get you needed to back out of politics… I hope daily talk to your dad and plead with him to stop hurting American people. Your silence speaks volumes.”

Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, served as advisers to Donald during his first presidency from 2017 to 2021. The businesswoman stepped away from politics in 2022, just as her father launched his third election campaign.

She said the decision was made to prioritize her and Kushner’s four kids. He also parted ways with politics to head an investment fund. As proved in the comments, though, the trail of allegations surrounding her father and his diplomatic missteps have continued to haunt her in online spaces.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
