Watching Shiv Roys mad moves onseason four ofSuccession, Ive found myself reminded, unexpectedly, of Ivanka Trump.
Now it is her brother Don Jr. who is the heir apparent.
But it doesnt seem to end well for the daughters who are actually willing to back them up.

Shiv is the fictional worst-case-scenario.
Ivanka is the reality.
Like, on a global scale.

As Donald’s indictment looms, the women appear to be distancing themselves from the former president.
As she spoke, Mr. Trump remained unyielding.
The damage is done.

Theres still no clear path for either Shiv or Ivanka to claw their way back to where they started.
Women cant even win Faustian bargains with men like that.
