  • Ivanka Trump shared an adorable photo of herself with her brothers on Twitter
  • Ivanka Trump greeted Donald Trump Jr. on his birthday
  • Ivanka Trump is Donald Trump's favorite child

Ivanka Trump recently shared an adorable throwback photo with his two brothers, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.

On her Twitter account, the first daughter paid tribute to Donald Jr. on his 31st birthday.

“Happy Birthday to the best big brother! I love you very much!” Ivanka captioned the snap that shows her cuddling up to her older siblings.

But despite the occasion being a happy one, some critics lambasted Donald Jr. on social media.

“His next birthday should be spent in prison,” Twitter user @edalexport said.

“Your next birthday should be behind the shed,” Twitter user @chris197541 said.

“Siblings the crime together stays together,” Twitter user @miss_speech said.

Meanwhile, Ivanka and Donald Jr. reportedly have a complicated relationship. The Atlantic previously claimed that the siblings have been competing against each other for the top spot in the POTUS’s dynasty.

However, the Trumps are reportedly aware that Ivanka is her father’s favorite. Journalist McKay Coppins said that it is Ivanka who will eventually inherit her dad’s family empire.

“He’d been grooming her for years to take over the family empire. She was the golden child — beautiful, telegenic, and in possession of that most important family trait: a compulsive image-consciousness,” she wrote.

In the past, the siblings have also accused each other of planting stories in the press that could destroy them. On one occasion, a story with the headline “Trump Kids on the Campaign Trail: Don Jr. Wows, Ivanka Disappoints,” was published.

The headline reportedly angered Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, and they suspected that Donald Jr. was behind the story. Later on, Donald Jr. also confronted Ivanka over rumors that her team was trying to undermine him.

Meanwhile, the POTUS has also been very vocal when it comes to praising his favorite daughter.

During a news conference in Osaka, Japan, President Trump said that Ivanka has done a wonderful and fantastic job in getting jobs for a lot of people in the United States.
