Ivanka Trump shares her birthday lessons before the election

It's Election Day, and if you're like me, you wish you had taken the day off so you could retreat to an off-grid cabin for 24 to 72 hours. However, not everyone is plagued by fears. For some people, now is actually the perfect time to write a long Instagram caption to commemorate their 43rd birthday. In this case, that “some person” is none other than Ivanka Trump.

Not to mention the fact that her father is currently in a dead heat to capture one of the most important political offices in the world; She has already made it clear that she doesn't care. No, instead yesterday Ivanka focused on sharing the various “truths” she's learned over the last four decades. Alongside the way-too-long caption, she posted a carousel of photos of herself in various situations, including at the store, with family, and in front of a piece of art that read: “Feelings are like waves, we can't stop.” They don't come, but we can choose which one we want to surf on.” So true.

Throughout the caption, Ivanka reveals herself to be a fan of BrainyQuote.com and shares aphorisms from Esther Perel, Naval Ravikant, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Dolly Parton, Henry David Thoreau and Carl Jung. While it's fun to think that Ivanka has retreated from the spotlight to hide out while reading in Miami Waldenthat is not the case here. If it were, she would know that Thoreau's quote is not, “The price of anything is the amount of life exchanged for it,” but rather, “The cost of something is the amount of what I call life.” “that is needed.” to be traded for immediately or in the long term.” Not that that matters to them, or to what I think is the point of this long-winded caption.

Ivanka seems to be using her birthday to venture into “non-political” life coaching. This isn't what her Instagram content usually looks like, and it looks like she tested the waters last week when she posted seven paragraphs about the benefits of weightlifting. She has very consciously distanced herself from her father in recent years, which gives her the freedom to be Jay Shetty to people who think Jay Shetty is friends with too many liberal elites. This could be an incredible hassle for them.

While you spend the day suffering retinal damage from too much screen time, Ivanka is busy throwing her stilettos on a conference table covered in floor plans (?) and imagining her future. No matter who wins, she has already started grinning. Unfortunately for all of us, that means there's probably a podcast on the way.
