Ivanka Trump in 2020

Ivanka Trump has been portrayed many times in popular culture in recent years.

Drag

Men dressed as Trump have attended protests against U.S. President Donald Trump.[1][2] Mitchell Sunderland of Vice Media's Broadly has commented on the limited impersonating of Ivanka Trump by drag queens, compared to other women in Donald Trump's administration.[3]

In 2017, the comedy video website Funny or Die released a sketch with Trump played by a drag queen.[4]

Television

On Saturday Night Live, Ivanka Trump has been portrayed by cast member Vanessa Bayer,[5] as well as guest hosts Margot Robbie, Emily Blunt,[6][7] and Scarlett Johansson.[8] Johansson's episode featured an advertisement for a fake Trump perfume called "Complicit".[9] Former cast member Maya Rudolph, who played Trump on the show in 2005,[10] impersonated her again on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2017.[11]

Stephanie March portrayed her on The President Show (2017)[12] while Emily Lynne portrayed her on Our Cartoon President (2018).[13] A 2018 episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver featured a graphic of the first daughter as the mother from the American horror film Get Out (2017).[14]

In the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, a satirical version of her was portrayed by drag queen Mercedes Iman Diamond in an episode called "Trump: The Rusical".[15]

Visual arts

Madame Tussauds has a wax sculpture of Trump.[16]

Jennifer Rubell's art exhibition Ivanka Vacuuming featured a model resembling Trump vacuuming crumbs thrown by spectators. The exhibition was sponsored by CulturalDC and hosted by Washington, D.C.'s Flashpoint Gallery in February 2019.[17] Ivanka Trump herself tweeted regarding the exhibit, "Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter." Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, "Sad, but not surprising to watch self professed 'feminists' launching sexist attacks against @IvankaTrump. In their crazed world, sexism is OK if hurts their political enemies. That's ok, they can go put on their stupid hats & she’ll get back to actually fighting for women."[18]
