Ivanka Trump promotes book written by top foe of her father
Ivanka Trump promoted a book on Instagram that was written by an author who has been critical of her father, President Donald Trump.
In a post captioned 'This week in Miami,' the first daughter shared photos of her workouts, her food, her family, her friends and a book she is reading: Untamed by Glennon Doyle.
Doyle, a popular self-help author, is a massive critic of the president's. She campaigned heavily against him last year.
'If Trump wins, we lose,' Doyle wrote on Instagram a few weeks before the November election, adding 'out daughters will have fewer rights than our mothers.' She used the post to blast Donald Trump's record on women's rights and abortion rights.
And, in August, Doyle shared a photo on Instagram at the Democratic National Convention voicing support for Kamala Harris.

Doyle's memoir 'Untamed' recounts how she 'learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live.'
In the book, the host of the 'We can do hard things' podcast also discusses her coming out as a lesbian. She is married to soccer player Abby Wombach.
Publisher Weekly noted of Doyle's memoir: 'This testament to female empowerment and self-love, with an endearing coming-out story at the center.'
Trump reads a variety of books.
In April, she posted some of her beach reads during the family trip to Costa Rica: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, The Women by Kristin Hannah, and The Tell by Amy Griffin.
She's also posted about The Hero with A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, and The Lessons of History by Will and Ariel Duran.
She told podcaster Lex Friedman last year she had recently read Man’s Search For Meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust by Viktor E. Frankl, Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence, and The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin.
Trump also gets book recommendations from podcasters. Lauryn Bosstick, the creator of The Skinny Confidential, recommended Doyle's book Untamed to the first daughter.

Ivanka Trump has distanced herself from politics in her father's second term unlike his first, where she moved to Washington DC and worked as a senior adviser in the White House.
Currently, she lives with her husband Jared and three children in Miami.
Shortly before Donald Trump was inaugurated for a second term, Ivanka had a candid conversation with The Skinny Confidential podcast, where she said she just wanted be her father's emotional support this time around.
'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 and like watch a movie with him or watch a sports game, to know that he can be with me and be himself, and just relax,' she said.
'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,' she added. 'So it's a very lonely perch.'
'I went through years of craziness,' she said of her first tenure in the White House and noted she couldn't stand the 'darkness' of the political world.
'Unfortunately, the two are not, you know, there is a darkness to that world that I don't really want to welcome into mine,' she said.

Ivanka Trump told podcast hosts Lauryn Bosstick and Michael Bosstick that her experience in the White House was a 'very emotional time.'
'You become a little bit calloused,' she said.
'It's a very dark, negative. And some people love like the gladiator aspect of it,' she noted. 'The fight - that was never me.'
'Oh my gosh, I don't think I saw sunlight for four years,' she said of being an adviser to the president.
But she said the main reason she's not returning to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is her children Arabella, Joseph And Theodore.
'The main reason I am not going back to serve now is, I know the cost. And it's a price that I'm not willing to make my kids bear,' she said.
'My primary goals were just to like, be the best freaking mom,' she said. 'Every time I had to miss something, I'm like, I will never let this happen again in the minute I leave the White House.'
