When it comes to Ivanka Trump’s place in her father’s administration, it’s safe to say that it’s been a journey. First she was just “a daughter” and supposedly eschewing politics altogether. Then she flip-flopped, stepping away from her successful fashion brand and moving to Washington to become an unpaid assistant to the president (though she’s a woefully ineffectual one at that). Ivanka-watchers everywhere have been left to ponder whether she is really the influential adviser who “has her father’s ear,” as it’s so often said (and especially on the rare occasion when something with potentially good optics comes out of the White House)—or is she just Instagramming her kids crawling around the Oval Office while serving as a sort of deputy First Lady?

Today, at last, we may have a definitive answer, and, spoiler: it may be the latter. In her latest interview with Fox & Friends, when asked about her father’s reflexive use of Twitter, Ivanka balked. “I try to stay out of politics,” Ivanka said. “His political instincts are phenomenal. He did something that no one could have imagined he’d be able to accomplish. . . . I feel blessed just being part of the ride from day one and before. . . . But I don’t profess to be a political savant.”

These are comments so confounding and contradictory, we may have officially reached peak Ivanka. Again, this is a person who, to recap, was first not political, then went to work as an adviser to the president of the United States, and is now, nevertheless, somehow apolitical once more. How is it possible that this is someone so often credited as poised and articulate? Professing political neutrality while working as an assistant to the president: She sounds wildly confused to me.

Either that or, after a mere five months in Washington, Ivanka is waving a white flag and giving up on advocating for her stated causes: “empowering women,” paid family leave, education—all political issues perhaps now more than ever. In one of the many breathless updates on her delicate inner monologue, Ivanka lamented the “viciousness” of Washington. (For a New Yorker who came up in the real estate world, really? I believe it was at your father’s rallies that “Trump that Bitch” T-shirts were sold.) If her success rate is any indication (see: health care, pulling out of the Paris climate accord), it may just be that hard to effect change in the Trump administration. And if she can’t do it, can anyone?
