Ivanka Trump's Out-Of-Touch Vacation Brag Has Us Begging Her To Read The Room
Another day, another celebrity posting on social media and proving just how out-of-touch they are. These days, it seems like no matter how clear it is that lots of folks in the U.S. are struggling just to get by, famous people don't get the message. This time, the celeb showing their true colors by bragging online just so happens to be a member of the Trump family. And people in the comment section are not hiding their true feelings.
Grateful doesn't begin to cover it.
Spending Passover and Easter week surrounded by the raw beauty of Costa Rica was a gift beyond words. Time slowed. We surfed under golden skies, zipped through the jungle canopy, leapt into cool waterfalls, read until the sun dipped low, and... pic.twitter.com/nVzbINEd5J

Despite the fact that Ivanka Trump seems to be done with politics for good, she has been flashing her lavish lifestyle more than ever since Donald Trump was elected president for the second time. Most recently, she took to X, formerly Twitter, to show off what she did to celebrate Easter and Passover. Rather than having a simple, modest holiday celebration, though, she shared seemingly professional photographs of an elaborate vacation in Costa Rica. Ivanka seemed to try to balance the ostentatious photos with her caption, writing, "Grateful doesn't begin to cover it" and calling the trip "a gift beyond words." She added that "more than the adventure, this week was about reconnecting — with the Earth, with faith, and with one another. Logging off and tuning in," seemingly suggesting that her vacation was more than just an expensive trip. Considering the fact that many folks blame her dad's policies for their current struggles and fear, Ivanka's attempt to defend her showy trip didn't go over well.
Ivanka's post was met with backlash
It didn't take long for the comment section on Ivanka Trump's post to flood with disapproval. "It is truly amazing how completely out of touch with reality you people are with your constituents. Most people couldn't even afford eggs," one X user pointed out. Another called it "a weird post when so many of us are struggling with record high inflation & job losses." Someone else echoed this, saying, "Too bad the rest of us are suffering under your dad's tariffs to even think about a holiday!"
Many netizens noted how empty Ivanka's claims of gratefulness felt. One sarcastically said, "I'm truly grateful to see how my hard-earned tax dollars are being put to use... we both know government money is fueling the lifestyle you and your extended family enjoy." Another person described it as "a let them eat cake post," noting, "40k+ ppl have lost their job just in the last month & we get to pay for your flights & security detail during your extravagant vacation. there's a complete detachment from the financial hardships us regular folks are experiencing." Ivanka made a clear effort to distance herself from her dad when he left the White House in 2021. Yet, it's obvious that no matter how much she wants to avoid the responsibility of being a Trump, she can't have her cake and eat it, too. As such, these ostentatious posts are going over worse than ever before.
