Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the president of the United States, has frequently been criticized during her father’s second term for social media posts that seem to flaunt her wealthy lifestyle. And that happened again on Monday, when the First Daughter posted a video of herself on horseback on a beach, as Coldplay’s “Viva La Vita” played.
It’s not clear exactly where and when the video was taken, although Ivanka posted it to X on Monday.
The post on X currently has comments disabled, likely to head off an angry backlash.

The dark irony of Ivanka using Cold Play’s “Viva La Vida” here.
Its lyrics tell the story of how a once-haughty king was humbled. A Louis XIV golden toilet seat-style autocrat, possibly, his castles built atop sand.

Ivanka, who has no official role in the second Trump Administration, has been spending a lot of time with horses. Per the Daily Mail, Ivanka “showcased her toned figure as she enjoyed a horseback ride with her daughter while vacationing in Costa Rica” back in August.
“Ivanka has certainly been enjoying a glamorous summer,” The Daily Mail said in the August piece. “She attended the World Cup in New York with many of her siblings in July, spent time vacationing in the Hamptons with her husband, Jared Kushner, jetted off to the Bahamas and enjoyed a glamorous trip to Iceland with her husband and kids.”
