Donald Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka, wished her father a happy birthday in a series of social media posts, sharing photos of the two of them from over the years.
The former president celebrated his 78th birthday on Friday.
"Happy birthday Dad ! @realDonaldTrump I love you today and everyday !" Ivanka said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. She also shared a photo of the two walking side-by-side at the White House.

She posted the picture on Instagram as well, alongside other images, including a portrait from her wedding, another of them working in a board room, and a snapshot of them holding hands when she was a child. Ivanka also storied a picture of the two sharing a kiss on the cheek and a throwback photo of her dad from his 1997 profile in the New Yorker.
Ivanka is the second-oldest of Donald Trump's five children. The former president shares Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric with his first wife, the late Ivana Trump. He has another daughter, Tiffany, from his second marriage to Marla Maples and a third son, Barron, whom he shares with his wife and the former first lady, Melania Trump.
Eric made a birthday post for his father. He posted a picture of himself as a child with Donald Trump on Instagram, captioning it "Happy Birthday to this warrior! @realdonaldtrump," adding American flag emojis.
Eric's wife, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, also wished her father-in-law a happy birthday in her Instagram stories.
Tiffany also posted a picture of herself and her father, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, on Friday. The photo was from her November 2022 wedding to Michael Boulos, which was held at her father's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Former President Trump addressed his big day over the weekend, telling supporters at a Las Vegas rally on Sunday, "There's a certain point at which you don't want to hear 'Happy Birthday,'" after the crowd began singing to him.
"You just want to pretend the day doesn't exist," he said.
If Donald Trump wins November's election, he will be the oldest president at his inauguration, swearing into office at 78 years and 219 days. He will surpass Joe Biden's previous record of 78 years and 61 days. If Biden wins, he will break his own record.
Ivanka, who served as a senior adviser to her father during his presidency, is reportedly considering joining Donald's 2024 campaign. Last month, Puck News reported that she was "warming to the idea of trying to be helpful again."
She and her husband, Jared Kushner, who also worked for the Trump administration, left politics after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
After her father announced his third White House bid in November 2022, Ivanka issued a statement.
"I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics," she said.
But she may have had a change of heart. The source familiar close to Ivanka told Puck News, "After a long-standing position of ruling it out, she's more open to it. It's getting more real, it's revving up."
