Ivanka Trump has issued a brutal three-word response when she was asked if she had any plans to help out in the White House.

The 43-year-old businesswoman was a senior advisor in her father Donald Trump's first administration as president between 2017 and 2021, and also assumed a high role as director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.

Ivanka was present at the rally her father hosted outside the White House before a mob of his supporters stormed the US Capitol and then, mysteriously, was nowhere to be seen on Trump's campaign trail last year.

The former aide had previously confirmed that she and her husband, Jared Kushner, who also served as a senior advisor in the Trump White House, would be leaving Washington for sunnier shores in Florida, closing the door on politics to pursue their family life.

At the time, Ivanka said: "While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena."

Now, it appears Ivanka is sticking to her guns and has zero intention of helping her father out during his second administration, which he is due to take over on Monday (January 20).

Appearing on The Skinny Confidential's Him & Her Show on Tuesday (January 14), Trump's eldest daughter issued a brutal response when asked why she is steering clear of Washington.

Ivanka explained: "I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable."

She continued: "There is a darkness to that world that I don’t really want to welcome into mine.

"To some degree, I’m at the center of the storm because my father is about to be president, but it’s a very dark, negative business. And some people love the gladiator aspect of it - the fight. That was never me."

The couple and their three children moved to Florida after Trump's 2020 election loss, which she suggested was in her hindsight of knowing the true 'cost' of serving for her country.

"It's a price that I'm not willing to make my kids bear," she added, and said she missed out on some 'really critical moments'.

"My primary goals were just to like, be the best freaking mom," Ivanka reaffirmed.

Despite distancing herself from politics, Ivanka said she still intends to 'show up' for her dad - but just as a daughter rather than an aide.

She continued: "I think I’m most looking forward to just being able to show up for him as a daughter and be there for him to take his mind off things, to watch a movie with him, or watch a sports game.

"To know that he can be with me, and be himself and just relax and for me to be able to provide that for him in a very loving way as his daughter.

"It’s the world’s loneliest position - the enormity of the decisions you’re making on a daily basis, how transactional everyone is with you."
