Ivanka Trump is facing a new wave of backlash after posting a video of her daughter horseback riding on the beach, which many felt was an instance of her ‘showing off.’
The video quickly went viral on platforms like X, where she shared the clip of her teenager staying atop a horse as it galloped across a scenic beach while her hands weren’t holding onto the reins. Though the video seemed beautiful and special to many fans of the Trump family, other social media users slammed the businesswoman as ‘tone deaf’ for sharing more content from her family’s luxurious vacations as many Americans struggle with the cost of living under her father’s presidency.

Ivanka Trump Posts Video Of Her Daughter Horseback Riding On Social Media
Now that the summer has come to a close, many stars and notable figures are sharing the last of their summertime content, including pictures and videos of the trips and adventures they’ve gone on with their loved ones.
One of those celebrities is Ivanka, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump, who has been very active on her social media profiles this summer. Over the last two months, she’s shared numerous pictures and videos of the vacations she’s gone on with her immediate family of five, including her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children. This year, they were in Iceland, and more recently in Costa Rica, where they seemingly went horseback riding.
Earlier this week, on X (formerly Twitter), she shared a video of her 15-year-old daughter, Arabella, horseback riding on a beach during sunset. The video was rather impressive, as the young teenager sat atop a horse that began gallopping across the sand, and she could be seen raising her arms in the air, letting go of the reins. Ivanka put the famous Coldplay song, “Viva la Vida,” in the background of the clip.

Social Media Users Slam Ivanka As 'Tone Deaf' After Watching Her Video
Though she didn't include a caption in her post of the daring horseback riding video, the author and former advisor seemed very proud of her teenage daughter as she shared the video. However, it did not get the most positive feedback.
It didn't take long for the clip to capture people's attention, but so much backlash towards Ivanka and her daughter came pouring in that she ended up turning off the replies to her post on X. Still, people reposted it, writing about how they thought it showed off her 'entitlement' and how 'tone deaf' she is, sharing a video from a scenic vacation while Americans struggle with the cost of living throughout the second term of her father's presidency.
"Immediately after posting this video of her horseback riding on the beach, Ivanka Trump took [away] other people's right to comment on this video," responded an X user. "She doesn't want to hear from those of you who are struggling, those of you who can't afford gas or groceries. She just wants to show off her privileged life."
"We already know the Trumps are rich (getting richer off the presidential office), but to throw it in struggling Americans' faces is disturbing," commented another.
One user called the video a 'let them eat cake moment,' while another wrote that she was "entitled" and "elitist."
"They delight in making other people envious," a user speculated about Ivanka and her family.
