Ivanka's blue suit sparks debate on political symbolism

Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump's eldest daughter, strongly supported him during the presidential campaign a few years ago and became his advisor in the White House. It was all the more surprising when it was announced that Ivanka intends to step away from political life and will not support her father as he seeks re-election. The 43-year-old stated that she wants to focus on her family and young children.

Trump's daughter kept her word and stepped back. She made an exception only during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, right after the attack on her father.

Recently, Ivanka Trump appeared on stage during the election night held at the West Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida. For this occasion, she chose a royal blue velvet suit set. And it was the colour of the suit that did not appeal to Americans supporting Republicans.

In the United States, red is not associated with communists but rather with Republicans. Democrats, on the other hand, urge citizens to "vote blue." Critics, therefore, point out that by choosing a blue suit, Ivanka Trump expressed her disapproval of her family's political views and distanced herself from her father.

"Why is Ivanka Trump wearing a Democratic shade of blue? And standing away from Trump and the rest of the family..." "Isn't it strange that Ivanka wore a blue suit? Of all colours... why blue?" - wonder users on the platform X.

The colour of the suit was also highlighted by the women's news service The List, which noted that the 43-year-old could have chosen any colour, for example, a red suit or a neutral dress, yet she opted for a "rebellious, Democratic blue."

Every marketing expert knows that colour matters and can play a key role in non-verbal communication. Did Trump's daughter indeed want to convey something by avoiding the colour red? One thing is certain - she looked stunning.
