Two worlds collided at Donald Trump’s victory celebration in the early hours at Mar-a-Lago. Trump entered the stage first with his family in tow. Melania was followed by Barron, their lanky 18-year-old son, who has become something of a pin-up at his university campus in New York. Ivanka, striking as ever in a blue velvet pantsuit, lagged behind other members of the family, partly obscured from view. This pecking order felt deliberate.
Ivanka was like the ghost at the feast, who had sidled back to Trumpland from the world of woke. It was her only campaign appearance at her father’s side.
