In the first two-plus weeks of Trump 2.0, much has happened. Almost tooooo much has happened! It seems like every day some new, crazy, cool, thing happens. A new swamp is uncovered and draining process begins. A new beautiful right-wing character emerges. A new forbidden term becomes normalized once more. A new . . . territorial conquest pops up out of nowhere. We can't keep up, but here's a brief list of things that have captured our attention!
Trump uses Bigly Stick Diplomacy to get Panama to not renew its deal with China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Trump uses Bigly Stick Diplomacy to get Canada and Mexico to send troops to our borders to combat fentanyl trafficking and to come to the table and negotiate further terms.
Trump uses Bigly Stick Diplomacy to get Denmark to allow the US to expand its military role in Greenland.
Mass deportations of violent illegal aliens commence.
Marco Rubio reaches an agreement with Nayib Bukele to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality.
Back-to-Back, reigning Mommy Milky Division Champion, Nancy Mace, said "tranny" a whole bunch of times during a congressional committee meeting.
Trump signs an executive order ending birthright citizenship (which has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge and will almost certainly reach SCOTUS)
Elon unleashes The Fellowship of the DOGE on the bureaucratic swamp, freezing USAID funds and terminating existing staff among other things.
Trump announces that we're going to just, like, take control of Gaza or something?
Trump signs an executive order to "rescind all funds from educational programs" that let biological men compete against women in sports.
And that's only a small charcuterie board of what has transpired! I'm sure I forgot to list a whole bunch of other crazy shit that's gone down! But you know what we haven't seen much of lately? Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka and her husband, Jared, were a very important part of the first Trump administration. She was an official "advisor" to the White House, with an office a short walk away from the Oval. Ivanka was at the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan in 2019 and traveled with her dad to the North-South Korea Demilitarized Zone. We saw Ivanka all the time, usually attempting to help sell her dad's policies to the media . . . who inevitably ended up calling her a Nazi c*unt.
That's probably why when the 2024 campaign rolled around, Ivanka said "no mas", posting on Instagram that "While I will always love and support my father" she was prioritizing her children and was not going to be involved in politics. Later saying in a 2024 interview that she "loves policy" but "hates politics". This tracks.
I'm not sure she was particularly well suited for the DC bloodsport. Ivanka seems nice (bitchy-nice, which is hot) and everyone prior to 2016 liked her (or at least acted like they did) and said nice things about her. She was not prepared for all of those same people to publicly start calling her a fascist c*nt when her dad took office. I think being called a nazi c*nt bothered her in a way it never did her brothers or her father.
So, she made the choice to step away, which was probably for the best because she does not seem well suited for Trump's current barbarian warpath tactics. To implement his flood the zone, take no prisoner, policy strategy, Trump has wisely chosen ruthless operators like MOTY Honorable Mention recipients, Karoline Leavitt, Alina Habba and Margo Martin - all women who have calloused to being called "fascists" and "c*nts". These are the type of soldiers needed for the task at hand, bitch-bitchy (also hot), not nice-bitchy.
Yet, while I think Ivanka's (and Jared's) absence from the White House is ultimately good for all parties involved, I am also somewhat saddened by not seeing her much this time around. Ivanka has a radiant smile and a certain aristocratic aura that reps this country well . . . and now she's taking back seat among the Trump brood. At the Inauguration, Barron clearly stole the show and when people talk about the future of the Trump dynasty, Barron is the one most envision leading invading forces onto the surface of Mars and other distant lands. People used to talk about Ivanka this way (though, in far more measured terms).
It seems that Ivanka has been lost in the shuffle these days. I even think people have even forgotten that she's a smokeshow with a runway model good looks. She's a stunner. An elite, statuesque God-tier, MILF. Moreover, I think that Ivanka might suspect that people have forgotten this as well . . . which is why she decided to remind them by posting eye popping thirst on X this week.
Ivanka captioned this photo with motivational thoughts on sticking to your New Year's Resolution workout goals . . . but I think that was merely subtext to her real purpose - remind people that she's still around and still extremely attractive. Just look at her! She's a mother of three and has abs flatter than Joe Biden's economy! She's working out with makeup on! This woman even perspires perfectly! Wow.
What this recent slew of hot-girl-posting suggests to me (other than that Ivanka has adopted The Preen New Deal) is that Ivanka is feeling a little left out of the fun. I don't blame her - she got dealt a bad hand. Trump 1.0 was a chaotic mess of the RussiaGate Hoax, COVID, low approval ratings and impeachments. Meanwhile, Trump 2.0 is the opposite - her dad is more popular than ever and Elon Musk is running roughshod over the entire libtard money laundering ecosystem . . . and we're all having fun doing it!
If I had to guess, I think Ivanka wants back in and she's deploying tactical thirst to keep her in our frame of mind. It's a welcome, albeit somewhat diabolical, move.
If that should be the case, I bet we see Ivanka back at the White House sometime before 2028. And if she does find herself back in an "official advisor" role, I hope she has learned a few things from her first go 'round. These are different times. Long gone are the days of establishment GOP politics, where agendas were put forth in soft, apologetic, tones . . . the kind of politics that I think Ivanka feels most comfortable engaging in and being around.
That will have to change because for the first time in my lifetime, we are on OFFENSE. We are attempting to pull back the Overton Window as far as we can, as quickly as we can, for as long as we can. We no longer apologize for having normal views. For better or worse, we just doooo things now!
This is New American Renaissance. Adjust accordingly.

I am trying out writing shorter (though, not short) weekly blogs, more tailored to specific issues. Let me know what you think.
And tell a friend, for fuck's sake. There is no point for me to continue writing if nobody is willing to read these damn things!
