A source pointed out that this may seem simple to some, but it is of great importance to Ivanka, explaining that she does not like to sit in back seats after her brothers, as it might appear as a decline in status. The source continued: «What happened was not a coincidence, but an intentional decision... Some may see it as an exaggeration, but in such occasions, every detail, including seating arrangements, is carefully planned. This spot gives the person sitting in it a stronger presence and attracts attention». The source also added that Ivanka specifically preferred to sit in that seat and made her desire clear, but this spot was deliberately given to her half-brother Barron. A source familiar with the family's atmosphere spoke to «Not Nice News» about the potential implications of this decision. The source explained that seating at official events is not random but carries important symbolic meanings. In an interview with the news site, he said: «The seat near the aisle is considered an influential seat because it is the spot that cameras usually focus on». Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, caused a lot of controversy after appearing in a moment that some considered significant during the State of the Union address delivered by her husband, President Donald Trump. According to a family insider, she seemed to favor her son Barron over her stepdaughter Ivanka in terms of seating arrangements. Trump delivered the State of the Union address at the end of last February during a joint session of both parties (Republican and Democratic) in Congress, where the hall was attended by many prominent political figures, as well as close members of the President's family, including his wife and five children: Barron, Ivanka, Eric, Donald Jr., and Tiffany Trump. During this major political event, it attracted attention that Melania chose to have her son Barron sit directly next to her, while the adjacent seat was not given to Ivanka. In this family, seating arrangements can reflect the level of importance or status».
