Ivanka Trump, having declared “I hate politics” and relocated to Miami to practice jiu-jitsu and surf, was living her best life at Disneyland Paris on Tuesday while her father was on Truth Social threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
TMZ spotted Ivanka, 44, leisurely walking around the park and riding Finding Nemo-themed attractions with her children.
The footage was captured roughly 30 minutes after Trump posted that Iran’s “whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He signed off with “God Bless the Great People of Iran.” Right after threatening to kill them all.
Ivanka stepped back from politics after her father’s first term and explained why in 2022. “I love my father very much. This time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

Her presence in France was not entirely accidental.
Her father-in-law Charles Kushner serves as U.S. ambassador to France and Monaco, which puts the family conveniently close to European theme parks during one of the more consequential weeks in American foreign policy.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, to his credit, was not spotted anywhere near a carousel because he had other problems to deal with, having been one of the lead U.S. negotiators in nuclear talks with Iran before the war began on February 28, and those negotiations ultimately failed to prevent the conflict from erupting.
Iran has since made its feelings about that clear. “With Witkoff and Kushner, nothing will come out of it,” one Iranian source told The Guardian. “We have seen that in the past.” Iran has said it will only negotiate with JD Vance, the one person in the administration who did not want to be there.
Ivanka is not the only Republican who found a Disney park more appealing than the Iran crisis. Lindsey Graham, one of the Senate’s most vocal supporters of the military campaign, was spotted at Disney World in Orlando last week, dining at Chef Mickey’s and riding Space Mountain. “I like Disney,” Graham said. “It’s a great place to go. It’s a great place to share with friends.”
Florida Senator Rick Scott, who once branded Disney “woke central” and pledged to boycott the brand, was also caught enjoying the parks. He posted the photos himself before anyone else could find them, which is one way to handle that situation.
