Ivanka Trump just posted a video flexing her aquatic skills. Trolls say it’s ‘fake’
Ivanka Trump showed off some serious aquatic skills on Labor Day, but naturally, a few trolls weren’t impressed.
On Labor Day, the former first daughter posted a video of her behind a boat (needing no tow rope) as she glides effortlessly, with the Miami skyline in the background and a slight breeze blowing.
In the clip, the 41-year-old mother of three is wakesurfing, an activity which involves balancing on a board as you glide the crest of the boat’s waves. From the stern, her 7-year-old son Theo (dad is Jared Kushner) watches his mom with a smile.
But not all commenters under Trump’s post were smiling. Quite a number of folks accused the mother of three of faking it.
“CGI!” ranted one of her 7.5 million followers.
“Look at the background,” wrote another online detective. “It stays in place. I never see any distance as she keeps going.”
Some eagle eyed inspectors even claimed that Trump didn’t even get wet out there, but if you look closely, the native New Yorker’s skin is indeed glistening.

Trump had a few supporters, though. At least one person duly noted that right around this time last year, she tried wakesurfing in Miami, and was similarly trolled and accused of using a green screen.
Though neither video was ever verified, they definitely look authentic then and now, at least to us.
The only difference between this year and last, is that Ivanka’s skills have vastly improved — meaning she didn’t wipe out on this go-around. Or at the very least didn’t include falling in her clip.
