‘Our hearts break’: Ivanka Trump re-emerges on social media in posts about Ukraine
Ivanka Trump doesn’t always post on social media. But when she does, she prefers a humanitarian reason.
The former first daughter took to Instagram over the weekend to illustrate to her 7.4 million followers how she was helping feed people in need in Ukraine. Trump said 1 million meals were delivered to those affected by the Russian invasion.
The mother of three, 40, thanked all those involved who were “risking their lives” in the effort abroad, including priests, drivers and volunteers.
“With these meals, we hope to provide a small source of comfort and nourishment for Ukrainians who are suffering so unjustly from Russia’s invasion of their country,” read part of the lengthy caption. “God bless you in your heroic fight to defend your country and your freedom.”
Pictures include children sitting at a table about to eat, packed boxes of food kits and smiling families.
In another selfie video, Trump talks in a solemn tone to the camera: “You are in our thoughts and prayers,” she says, near tears. “And our hearts break for what you are experiencing.”
Since leaving the White House last January and relocating to South Florida, Trump has only posted a few times. The businesswoman snapped herself getting two COVID vaccines at her local CVS in Surfside, the city she later donated to after the horrific building collapse in June.
The last post contributed to her sparse Instagram timeline was in January, when she again donated food to American families while in Rochester, New York.
She’s on the move again: Trump’s last post sees her in New Orleans, assisting families whose homes were destroyed by the recent tornadoes.
“On the road with my friends from @MercyChefs,” said the post. “Blessed to join in these efforts.”
Meanwhile, on Thursday, her husband, former WH advisor Jared Kushner, reportedly voluntarily appeared remotely before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
