In 2017, the comedy video website Funny or Die released a sketch with Trump played by a drag queen.[4] Two years later, on the fourth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 11, a satirical version of her was portrayed by drag queen Mercedes Iman Diamond in a production called Trump: The Rusical.[5]

On Saturday Night Live, Ivanka Trump has been portrayed by cast member Vanessa Bayer,[6] as well as guest hosts Margot Robbie, Emily Blunt,[7][8] and Scarlett Johansson.[9] Johansson's episode featured an advertisement for a fake Trump perfume called "Complicit".[10] Former cast member Maya Rudolph, who played Trump on the show in 2005,[11] impersonated her again on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2017.[12]

Stephanie March portrays her on The President Show (2017).[13] Emily Lynne portrayed her on Our Cartoon President (2018).[14] A 2018 episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver featured a graphic of the first daughter as the mother from the American horror film Get Out (2017).[15]

On the fourth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 11, a satirical version of her was portrayed by drag queen Mercedes Iman Diamond in a production called Trump: The Rusical.[5]

Visual arts

Madame Tussauds has a wax sculpture of Trump.[16]

Jennifer Rubell's art exhibition Ivanka Vacuuming featured a model resembling Trump vacuuming crumbs thrown by spectators. The exhibition was sponsored by CulturalDC and hosted by Washington, D.C.'s Flashpoint Gallery in February 2019.[17] Ivanka Trump herself tweeted regarding the exhibit, "Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter." Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, "Sad, but not surprising to watch self professed 'feminists' launching sexist attacks against @IvankaTrump. In their crazed world, sexism is OK if hurts their political enemies. That's ok, they can go put on their stupid hats & she’ll get back to actually fighting for women."[18]
