Ivanka Trump shares photos of her family's camping trip: 'Where the wild things are'
Ivanka Trump is enjoying the great outdoors. The businesswoman and adviser to President Donald Trump took to social media on Sunday morning to document her camping trip with husband Jared Kushner and sons Theodore and Joseph. Along with Instagram Stories of the group grilling hot dogs and playing football, she posted a few shots of the family snuggled up together.
In one photo, the first daughter is pictured cozied up under blankets with her two young boys.

Response on social media proved to be quite mixed, with lots of users comparing her photos to the treatment of migrant children at border detention centers. (Her recent addition of a new dog to her home received a similar response.)
Beautiful children. How wonderful that they are happy and innocent and safe from the ugliness of this world. Whatever else we do for our children, those are the most important things we can give to them. All children should have that...don’t you agree?

How sweet. Why not do something about the children in cages taken from their parents by your Dad?

So nice you can spend your Sunday morning with your children. Imagine all the parents who haven’t seen their children in months. I’m sure your children love you and couldn’t imagine being separated from you.

One of those times I’m for parent/children separation. 🇺🇸

Wow, they look so happy to not be in cages and denied basic hygiene.

Still, there were several people fawning over Trump’s photo of family happiness. On Instagram, many comments praised her for spending time with her kids in nature.
”Love seeing such healthy, happy children and parents who love them,” one Instagram user commented.
“What a fun and most special time with your precious family!” another chimed in.
“Enjoy your day, and thanks for everything you do. And join me in laughing at all the haters. Hahahahaha!” someone else said.
An earlier photo set taken on Saturday featured Trump and Kushner with their arms around each other in front of a rocky ledge, followed by a shot of the first daughter alone in a flowering field. Soon, comments began flooding in regarding President Trump’s environmental policies and her brothers’ hunting hobby.

Wow, look at that beautiful sky, those amazing trees, and lovely plants... all being destroyed because your administration refuses to care about the earth or believe in climate change.

Umm since you seem to like nature could you tell daddy to leave our endangered species alone, and lay off the bees, he’s taking it a little far to get even with one eagle

So happy you get to enjoy nature. Future generations won’t get that opportunity after your father destroys any and all environmental protections. But wow!! Great insta!!

Despite the rapid criticism of Trump’s stance on environmental issues — including last week’s news that the Endangered Species Act is being weakened under his administration — many comments on Instagram were complimentary.
“I hope you have a well-deserved break and recharge your energies ... keep up the great work,” one user wrote.
“You are amazing. You handle the storm with perfect grace and smarts and compassion,” another comment read. “Thanks. Country needs you.”
“Wow, I love seeing you interact with your beautiful family!” another supporter chimed in.
