Ivanka Trump has incinerated everything about her reputation that once insulated her from accusations of complicity with her father. It seems like she may be building a new life for herself with a whole new base, vanessagrigor writes

Each Fourth of July weekend, Lally Weymouth, the 76-year-old daughter of the Washington Post’s former owners, celebrates her birthday with an event that’s like a “D.C.
But this year Ivanka didn’t go to Lally’s to kiss the ring.
Of course, the point of politics is to actually make change, and while Jared did seem to be actively shifting the balance of power in the Middle East, Ivanka’s game has been harder to parse. She’d made the White House her power base, but it was one with a vacuum at its center. She wasn’t engaging deeply on domestic policy or the 2020 reelection campaign.
This is an astounding turn of events for those who knew her in New York, many of whom thought they’d had her number since she threw all in with her father’s business in her 20s, or at least since she married in 2009.
Stories about Ivanka and her brothers’ childhood often seem to pay fealty to her father, like the one Ivanka used to tell about gluing a bunch of Legos together to make a building, after which everyone just knew she was going to go into construction; the same story has been told by Eric and Don Jr. with each as the child Lego-gluer fated to run a real-estate empire. Family lore also tends to reinforce Donald’s belief that Trumps are hardier, better, than New York society aristos.

Though Ivana drank, Donald had been living clean after his older brother died of alcoholism in 1981; that death is “absolutely” the reason Donald became so fixated on success, on overturning the failures of the past, says Nikki Haskell, an old family friend.
“The thing with Paris hurt Ivanka a lot,” says a friend. “He was heartbreaking to her at times.” But as with so much of her father’s behavior, she buried her feelings and moved on. She told herself that the story of her father’s attitude toward women was, simply, complicated, according to friends.

Without him, they don’t think she would have climbed the particular greasy pole of Weymouth’s birthday party. She had previously preferred party-boy boyfriends whose big extended families impressed her but not her father, who’d wanted her to marry a celebrity.
Some people in New York bought what she was selling, and some found it fake. “She’s so polite it’s actually uncomfortable — her whole thing is ‘My father may be tacky and horrible, but I am elegant and refined,’ ” says a fashion editor who dined with her several years ago. And here and there, she has been caught acting less than perfect.
New York liberals may have turned against her first, but the anger has just ramped up from there, much of it over the shock that she has not folded up shop as her father careens out of control.
