Ivanka Trump Takes Her Place as Donald's Key Advisor at White House Event

Rarely seen Ivanka Trump materialized into view yesterday after her father, U.S. President Donald Trump , announced that he would be putting two large flag poles in the White House lawns . Speaking to the Irish Star, one body language expert stated that the second-eldest Trump sibling was "back in her role" as her father's number two.

Standing with her father , her husband and former Senior Advisor to the President, Jared Kushner and her children, body language expert Judi James called the moment "symbolic." She said, "This very symbolic moment still looks more like one to impress the family for Trump, who stands surrounded by children who look in awe at the size and the drama of the historic flag."

"Trump stands, lost in the moment and posed in a salute while his family chat around him," she adds. "Ivanka is back in her role as his number two here, clapping as the flagpole goes up and even appearing to ignore her small son calling to her so that she can join her own dad in his important moment."

"It is a rare moment from Trump in his time as president," James adds. "His body language here suggests he's building these flagpoles to primarily impress himself and to make his own powerful imprint on the White House."

Despite this, James claims that the president "seems to want to share this with his family rather than turning it into a political performance, hinting that this is a moment of family, dynastic pride that Ivanka clearly also 'gets'."

While the moment was touching and extremely patriotic, several people, including First Lady Melania Trump, Barron Trump, as well as both Eric and Don Jr., were not in attendance. Ivanka recently came under fire after she posted a Father's Day message for both Kushner and the president.

The 43-year-old mom of three took to Instagram on Sunday to pay a touching tribute to her husband and the father of her children, and her dad despite not attending his birthday parade. Ivanka shared several beautiful family photos to mark the occasion, including one that showed the businesswoman donning a sparkling, fitted maxi dress next to her were her and Jared's three children, Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 11, and Theodore James, nine, who were all in matching navy button-up pajamas.

Ivanka's second snap in her post showed her and her family posing with Trump, who sat smiling at the camera in front of them. Also included was a selfie of Ivanka and Jared, a photo of the family posing in a drawing room, and even a throwback snap of a young Ivanka holding Trump's hand.

"Happy Father’s Day," Ivanka began, followed by a blue love heart emoji. She continued: "Today, I honor two incredible fathers who have shaped my world in profound ways." Ivanka then gushed: "To my father @realdonaldtrump — your unwavering determination, boundless vision, and deep love for family have been a guiding force in my life. You taught me to dream boldly, work relentlessly, and never give up."

Before honoring her husband, adding: "To my husband @jaredckushner — watching you father our children with patience, strength, wisdom and so much heart fills me with endless gratitude. You are their rock, their compass, and their greatest gift." While some fans were quick to inundate the post with well-wishes and Happy Father's Day messages to the men in Ivanka's life, several people took to the comments section of the post to slam her family, with one person writing: "A father who doesn't understand other fathers."

Another added: "You really haven’t got a clue what living in the real world is like. A world made worse by your father. And what’s with the matching pyjamas?" A third slammed: "Tell your dad stop this much of Arrogance and selfishness. He can be a good one for world but he has decided another way."
