Ivanka Trump shares incredible theory about her late mother Ivana after dad Donald's near-death brush with shooter

Ivanka Trump shared her belief that her late mother Ivana was looking after her father Donald Trump when he survived an assassination attempt on Saturday.

The former first daughter said on Instagram that she believed Ivana was 'watching over Dad' when a would-be assassin fired at the former president during a Pennsylvania rally.

'Two years ago today, my mom passed away. I believe she was watching over Dad last night during the attempt on his life,' Ivanka wrote on Sunday.

'I miss her every day and pray for the safety of the family and friends she left behind.'

Ivana died at the age of 73 in 2022 after falling down a staircase in her Manhattan apartment.

In another post, Ivanka thanked supporters and said she was 'praying for America' after the act of 'senseless violence'.

She also thanked the Secret Service for their response in taking down the gunman.

'I love you Dad, today and always,' the former First Daughter wrote on X.

Trump's younger daughter Tiffany - whom he shared with second wife Marla Maples - also thanked God for saving him.

Tiffany said: 'The outpouring of love and support for my Dad is deeply appreciated. Thank you God for keeping my father alive.

'Political violence is never the answer. God bless the Secret Service and law enforcement who fearlessly intervened. Please include the families of the victims in your prayers.'

In the wake of the shooting that killed one spectator on Saturday, investigators were hunting for any clues about what may have drove Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, to carry out the shocking attack.

The FBI said they were investigating it as a potential act of domestic terrorism , but the absence of a clear ideological motive by the man shot dead by the Secret Service led conspiracy theories to flourish.

The FBI said it believes Crooks, who had bomb-making materials in the car he drove to the rally, acted alone.

Investigators have found no threatening comments on social media accounts or ideological positions that could help explain what led him to target Trump before the Secret Service rushed the presumptive Republican presidential nominee off the stage, his face smeared with blood.

Trump said on social media the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting, but advisers said he was 'great spirits' ahead of his arrival Sunday in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.

Two spectators were critically injured, while a former fire chief from the area, Corey Comperatore was killed. Pennsylvania’s governor said Comperatore, 50, died a hero by diving onto his family to protect them.
