Rabat – Amidst the chaos surrounding the election of Donald Trump last week, a different Trump has become the center of attention for some young Gulf Arab social media users: Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka is Trump’s daughter, the second of three children with his ex-wife Ivana.
According to Al Arabiya English, an unnamed poet from one of the GCC countries posted a short video on YouTube, titled “For the eyes of Ivanka Trump.” The video is a love letter to the future US First Daughter and has been viewed more than 125,000 times.
In his video, the poet says “For the eyes of Ivanka Trump…who has captured and made us forget all our differences. She has controlled all of our hearts before her father took over power.”
Donald Trump has often mentioned his daughter’s beauty during his campaign. Despite the divisive rhetoric surrounding the Arab world during Trump’s campaign, maybe this poet’s sentiment for Ivanka is something both the Gulf Arab youth and Donald Trump can agree on.
