This video explores the intriguing social media silence and "subtle" digital presence of Ivanka Trump in the 48 hours following Operation Absolute Resolve, the dramatic U.S. military strike that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026.
While Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump took to X and Truth Social with triumphalist posts hailing "American military might" and sharing the viral image of a blindfolded Maduro, Ivanka Trump notably took a different path. Instead of joining the political firestorm, Ivanka shared a serene, unrelated photo of a sunrise with a caption focusing on "peace and new beginnings." Analysts and social media sleuths were quick to notice her "subtle move"—specifically, her decision to "like" a post by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado that called for a "peaceful, civilian-led transition," a direct contrast to her father's declaration that the U.S. would "run" the country.
Inside the Subtle Move:

The Contrast: A side-by-side comparison of the aggressive rhetoric from the rest of the Trump family versus Ivanka’s "lifestyle-first" approach.
The "Like" That Spoke Volumes: Why her digital interaction with María Corina Machado is being interpreted as a quiet endorsement of a diplomatic path over the administration’s "tutelage" plan.
Strategic Distancing? Expert analysis on whether this is a personal branding choice or a calculated move as she navigates the complex 2026 political landscape.
In a weekend defined by "dark and deadly" military precision, Ivanka’s curated silence and selective "likes" have become a focal point for those looking for cracks in the administration's unified front on Venezuela.
