Ivanka Trump posts cryptic message about not 'swinging back' against her critics: 'The moral equivalent to murder'

Ivanka Trump has given her haters a cryptic message as she claimed speaking poorly about others was the 'equivalent of murder' and wouldn't be 'swinging back' at critics.

The soon-to-be First Daughter, 42, took to her Instagram Story to share a video of herself giving trolls a fiery response to their criticism. 

She reposted a video of herself speaking on the podcast Meaningful Minute to her social media page. 

Her shocking message saw her detailing the Judaism concept known as Lashon Harah, which is translated into 'evil speech.' 

Just weeks after Donald Trump appeared to snub his daughter for X founder Elon Musk in a cringeworthy video, Ivanka has hit back against those who 'speak poorly' of her. 

The blonde beauty claimed that being verbally mean to someone was the 'moral equivalent to murder because you can't really repair it.'  

She also noted that bullying someone did 'as much damage to the person saying the words as it does to the person receiving them.' 

The mom-of-three admitted that she often reminded her children - who had been in the spotlight since they were born - of the concept and she 'thinks about it a lot.' 

Ivanka said: 'There is a concept in Judaism called Lashon Harah, which is, I think quite literally translated to evil speech. 

'The idea that speaking poorly of another is almost the moral equivalent to murder because you can't repair it. You can apologize but you can't repair it. 

'Another component to that is that it does as much damage to the person saying the words as it does to the person receiving them.'

The mom confessed that she often thought about this idea and that it was the reason she didn't respond to her haters. 

'I think about that a lot. I talk about this concept with my kids a lot. I'm not willing to pay the price of that fleeting and momentary satisfaction of sort of swinging back because I think it would be too expensive for my soul,' she said.

'That's how I made peace with it because that feels more true for me.' 

Ivanka delivered the inspiring words while donning a chic blue dress. 

Her message comes after a new behind-the-scenes video shows her dad, Donald, appearing to snub Ivanka for Elon.

After the group took the snap, Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, were able to step into the photo, along with her brother, Eric, and his wife, Lara. 

Despite spending time with those heavily involved in politics, Ivanka and Jared worked to distance themselves from Donald's re-election campaign and the general Trump orbit.

They relocated to Florida with children Arabella, 12; Joseph, nine; and Theodore, eight, after Trump left office in January 2021. 

And Ivanka wasn't at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022 when the former President announced he would seek another term in the White House.

It was a change of pace for the incumbent First Daughter, who was heavily involved in Trump's first term in the White House.

She had an office in the West Wing and frequently represented the administration both at home and abroad.

It was seemingly confirmed that the blonde beauty was bidding adieu to a life of politics after her father regained his seat in the White House. 

It was then that a source told DailyMail.com that things began to sour for Ivanka after the riot on January 6, and after she was subpoenaed during the investigation into the president's efforts to stay in power.

'She felt like she was being asked to reveal something she did not know anything about and she never wants to be in [that] position again,' the source told DailyMail.com.

'Her family means the world to her and she is now focusing on being a mom and other private ventures,' they continued, adding she is 'completely happy where she is in her life.'

'She is perfectly finding handing the reins to Lara [Trump] this time around. Not her circus, not her monkeys.'

Lara, who is married to Ivanka's brother Eric, took on a larger role during Trump's campaign this time around, standing by his side at many rallies, including two that took place a mere day before the eve of the election.

Lara is also the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

However, Ivanka's stance may not come as a surprise to many, as she said that she did not 'plan to be involved in politics' anymore in a statement following her absence from her father's 2022 campaign launch.

'I love my father very much,' she said at the time.

This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.'

Now, she spends her days sharing her lavish travels on her Instagram and enjoying quality time with her children.
