The Georgetown University law student, whose mother is Mr Trump’s second wife Marla Maples, posted the pictures on Instagram of herself and a friend at the HalfSmoke restaurant-bar in Washington DC playing “Trumped Up Cards,” a game in the style of ‘Cards Against Humanity’.
The pictures were posted publicly on 20 May as part of her Instagram “story” which is a feature on the social platform that allows users to post pictures for just 24 hours. But, Elite Daily was able to capture a screenshot and the Washington Post reported they were captioned as “Milkshakes + games”.
Trumped Up Cards described itself on the website with the tagline: “This is a game. Democracy isn’t”. Playing off Mr Trump’s many tweets, the game is “a satirical card game where reality collides with alternative facts and everyone wins! (Except the haters and the losers.) Enjoy!”
The game comes in a gold-foil box, likely a nod to Mr Trump’s gold-plated furniture in his New York penthouse and penchant for using gold in his hotels.
It has a cartoon of the president holding a sign that says “world’s biggest deck,” appearing to point to what some think is Mr Trump’s penchant for exaggeration.
Ms Trump can be seen sipping a HalfSmoke milkshake and holding up some of the cards - even one that featured a caricature of her father yelling “So Sue Me!”.
She looked like she was laughing in the pictures as well, but it’s unclear if she was making fun of the game or genuinely thought the many jokes about Mr Trump in the game were funny on their own.
The first daughter was seen with a male friend, but not her recent ex-boyfriend Ross Mechanic.
