Ivanka Trump<\/a> brushed off a wave of intense online backlash sparked by her social media comment<\/a> about the passing of the iconic Dolly Parton<\/a> by going surfing during a family vacation in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

Following Parton’s passing on August 25, Ivanka posted what critics blasted as a tone-deaf tribute on social media, calling the country music legend an “American icon” and praising her philosophy of non-judgment.<\/p>\n

Instead of engaging with the online commentators, the 44-year-old was photographed<\/a> smiling, catching waves and taking surfing lessons in a rash guard during her tropical getaway.<\/p>\n

What Did Ivanka Trump Say?\"Ivanka<\/p>\n

Trump shared a quote from the late country legend, who famously said, “I don’t criticize and condemn; I love and accept” – which she noted had deeply resonated with her.<\/p>\n

However, the tribute immediately sparked fierce criticism, with internet users labeling her words “tone-deaf” and “hypocritical” when contrasted with the aggressive political rhetoric of her father, President Donald Trump<\/a>, and her brothers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Commenters quickly pointed out that the message of unconditional love stood in stark contrast to the daily conduct of the MAGA party and her immediate family.<\/p>\n

Social media users highlighted the Trump administration’s past policies regarding marginalized groups, arguing that praising Parton’s support<\/a> for the LGBTQ+<\/a> community was hypocritical.<\/p>\n

Ivanka Has Stayed Away From Politics This Term\"Dolly<\/p>\n

Rather than meddling in her father’s failures as she did during his first term, the POTUS’ favorite child has increasingly used trips to Central America<\/a> to focus on physical wellness, including surfing and martial arts, effectively creating a lifestyle brand that stays intentionally distant from the toxic political news cycles of Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

‘The Hypocrisy Is Blinding’\"Unlike<\/p>\n

Unlike Donald Trump, Dolly Parton has supported marginalized groups like the LGBTQ+ community.MEGA<\/p>\n

“Completely detached from reality, but thank God she stays on a surfboard<\/a> now instead of in the West Wing,” noted one X account.<\/p>\n

“The hypocrisy is blinding, but at least she had the sense to sit this election cycle out and stay in Central America<\/a>,” said another during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

“Ivanka Trump’s brand is now entirely ‘willful ignorance.’ She ignores the politics she helped create, which is tone-deaf, but the country is safer with her on a beach<\/a> than in office,” noted another.<\/p>\n

“She wants the aesthetic of peace and love without accounting for her family’s chaos. It’s peak tone-deafness<\/a>, but at least she isn’t drafting policy anymore,” said another social media user during the viral backlash to her Parton post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ivanka Trump brushed off a wave of intense online backlash sparked by her social media comment about the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[4681,105,91887,74],"class_list":["post-209077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ivanka-trump","tag-ivanka","tag-ivanka-trump","tag-parton","tag-trump"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/117192178136241913","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
