Ivanka Trump has kept a relatively low profile since leaving the White House in January, and other than a brief Louis Vuitton fashion show appearance last month, she’s sticking to that strategy. That is what makes her Monday, Dec. 20 appearance in Twin Falls, Idaho so surprising — the media barely covered her charity event.

Dressed down in jeans and a black puffy coat to stave off the cold temperatures, Donald Trump’s oldest daughter came to the town for a good cause. The Farmers to Families Food Box Program, launched by her dad’s administration and now privately funded, had a six-week event in this area and she came to support the efforts. The local news radio station, KLIX 1310, did a small blurb on her appearance, but no one else showed up for coverage. (See the photo HERE.)

With three young kids at home, maybe Ivanka realized that the spotlight isn’t what she needs right now — and sliding through Idaho without a press frenzy might have been proof of that.
