Ivanka Trump was seen on a luxury yacht in Miami with supermodels Gisele Bündchen and Karlie Kloss.

Wearing a small black bikini, she posed in the sun, sipped champagne, and enjoyed a glamorous day on the water.

The pictures went viral. Many said it was the wrong time for a rich party. Families across the country are fighting high prices for food, rent, and gas. For them, Ivanka’s yacht trip felt like a clear insult.

On X, one post said, “Americans can’t afford groceries, and Ivanka is popping bottles on a yacht. This is why people don’t trust political dynasties anymore.”

Critics said the scene showed how far Ivanka has drifted from public service. During Donald Trump’s first term, she spoke about family values and responsibility. Now she is known for parties, wealth, and elite friends.

The timing made it worse. Inflation is still high. Wages are not keeping up. Many families are struggling with rent and even basic groceries. Ivanka’s yacht photos sent the opposite message of care and empathy.

Her friends on the yacht also added to the story. Karlie Kloss, who is married to Jared Kushner’s brother, has often clashed with the Trump family. Seeing her with Ivanka raised questions about old family fights.

Gisele Bündchen, respected for her activism, brought more attention. Some wondered if Ivanka was trying to rebrand herself by being seen with famous and admired women.

Since leaving Washington, Ivanka has stepped back from politics. She did not join her father’s 2024 campaign and has shown no interest in office. Instead, she has built a life of wealth and glamour. She also appeared at Jeff Bezos’s expensive wedding in Italy earlier this year.

The yacht party also raises questions about Ivanka’s future. She once acted as a stand-in First Lady when Melania Trump was absent. Now she seems fully focused on lifestyle brands, social events, and her personal image.
