Yep.

And his reactions are unpresidential (among other things, he does what is known as 'punching down') and non alpha-like.

He's thin skinned. Can't let things roll off of his back. Alpha behavior would be not reacting emotionally and not making a comment that engages directly but rather positions one/introduces a position that is above the fray, putting the discourse on a different level. I've never seen Trump do that. His reactions reveal insecurity. Graydon Carter called Trump a 'short fingered vulgarian' in a magazine article, and Trump sent him pictures with his hands circled for the next 25 years.

Ivanka owes her dad nothing at all. She's cleaved.

This thread is a fantastic example of someone forming a parasocial relationship.

You'd have to be a mind-reader to know why a candidate really pulled out of a race, as they aren't going to admit in a speech "I pulled out because I had thin skin".

That makes him even more courageous, the fact he's willing to attack others so relentlessly despite knowing the blowback.

It doesn't sound like you've given much thought to the enormous stress and havoc wreaked upon her and her family by the TDS hysteria her father's political life generates. That's not a criticism of Trump, but rather of the 10s of millions of morons who thank their lucky stars for having Biden as their President.

It's so understandable that she's had more than enough. Would you want to live with that lunacy in your face every day? Realistically, given where we are politically in this once great country, she knows she'll never fully escape the crazy. But she can establish a bit more distance from it day-to-day.
Except Ivanka Trump was speaking with world leaders like Angela Merkel, something she'd never have a hope of doing without her Dad. He's taken her to another universe of existence, unlike any other parent has ever done for their offspring.

She already knew some of those people before her Dad ever went into politics. His money opened doors for here, that's true.
But those doors didn't close after her father lost.

Her husband cut his own deal with the Saudis; that deal was what gave them both their financial freedom from the Trump tentacles that still bind all the rest of her siblings.

Jared was the one who could have never met with world leaders. I'm sure Trump never wanted either of them to leave him, but Ivanka is still his favorite child, so he let her go when she wanted to leave. How can he deny his favorite her deepest wish?

No its the equivalent of a spoiled child who thinks kicking and screaming will get them what they want, but your feel free to replace the candles on your alter to him.

No other president has ever introduced their child/children to world leaders?????? Huh.

I'm pretty sure Jared Kushner is richer than Trump, Ivanka owes her father nothing. She has her own family to take care of.
