Ivanka Trump announces the release of her book, “Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success.” Image by YouTube

First Daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump pledged last month that in order to comply with government ethics rules and to “avoid the appearance of using my official role” for personal gain, she would donate proceeds for her new book “Women Who Work” to charities and would “not publicize the book through a promotional tour or media appearances.”

While Trump has indeed refrained from appearing at book stores or on talk shows, she has still been mentioning her publication on her personal social media pages.

A video posted to Trump’s Instagram account on Thursday that features her dancing with her children contains a caption that refers to her book and links to an article about it in Working Mother magazine (which in turn links to the Amazon page where people can buy the book).

Trump’s personal Instagram and Facebook pages also feature images of people posing with the book, including Tiffany and Lara Trump and members of the National Urban League.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.

—  Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
