When Eve, a 15-year-old from Maryland saw Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2016, she immediately took a liking to her.
Admiring how poised she was while addressing the audience, Eve started an Instagram account dedicated to the famous first daughter called “AlwaysIvanka.” The account caught fire instantly, and in the days after Trump became president, it gained more than 10,000 followers, including the first daughter herself.
Over the course of the next six months, Eve noticed how little coverage First Lady Melania Trump was garnering for her work in the White House. So she started a matching account called “AlwaysMelania.” Today the Ivanka and Melania accounts have 125,000 and 240,000 followers, respectively, and are among the most popular accounts of their kind. The largest fan account for Melania, “MelaniaTrump.style,” is devoted to her fashion choices and boasts over 292,000 followers.
While Eve has made some money on the accounts in the form of sponsored posts, she views her work as merely a hobby, though she devotes a great deal of time keeping her fans updated on the latest appearances of the Trump women.
One would think running such a large and influential Instagram account would be a point of pride for a teenager. But because of the feverish anti-Trump atmosphere, Eve doesn’t feel comfortable telling friends at school about her activities or even letting me use her last name in this piece. She told me: “With the current political climate, I prefer erring on the side of caution.”
There are currently a dozen Instagram accounts on Ivanka with more than 7,000 followers each. The top dozen accounts following the first lady have more than 10,000 followers each. (Ivanka’s own Instagram account boasts more than 5 million followers, while more than 3 million follow Melania’s personal @flotus account.)
Why are so many hundreds of thousands of Instagram users — mostly women — fans of these accounts?
It could be because the media isn’t reporting on the work or looks of the Trump women. As Eve combs through press coverage, looking for photos of Melania and Ivanka for her Instagram account, she says she’s frustrated with how little the media report on anything Trump-related that isn’t outrageous or controversial.
