Ivanka Trump became her father Donald Trump’s ambassador to women Thursday night when she sought to introduce a Republican presidential nominee who prioritizes equal pay and affordable child care.

In addition to working for her father, Ivanka founded her eponymous fashion line, the Ivanka Trump Collection. “Real change is only going to come from outside of the system”, she said.
While Donald and Ivana’s divorce seemed acrimonious, Ivanka says they never fought in front of their children-which went a long way to preserve their family unit.
In a recent interview with CNN, Ivanka showed a more personal side to give insight into what Trump was like as a father growing up-the advice he gave her, the high expectations he had for her and her siblings, and the encouragement he provided along the way.
“As a mother myself I know how hard it is to work while raising family”.
“My father taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort”, she said.
And perhaps, like step-mother like daughter, as Ivanka Trump has the convention buzzing about her enviable style. “She’s very eloquent, she speaks very well and I think that she could help mold the way he talks to women”. Her speech was also a pivotal point of the convention as she attempted to solidify her father’s role as a family man and a supporter of women on the final night.
Watch the speech above.
“One of the best speeches – if not the best speech – tonight”, said Chris Herrod, a 50-year-old delegate from Utah. He promises over and over to make America great again. In his speech, Trump attacked Hillary Clinton for her foreign policy views and called her a “puppet” of special interests.
Ivanka then introduced her father, who formally accepted the Republican nomination.
Donald Trump will “focus on making affordable childcare affordable and accessible for all”, Ivanka Trump told the excited crowd. “And I don’t think anyone does, because she kind of keeps it to herself”. Her speech may have just opened her up to a possible career in politics. Despite liking those qualities, however, Wuller said it’s not enough to make her cast her vote for Donald Trump. “Judge his competency by the towers he’s built, the companies he’s founded and the tens of thousands of jobs he’s created”, she said. “So I’m trying to take that advice”. Over the course of the week, quite a few people of color took the stage at the Quicken Loans Arena, including Sajid Tarar, founder of Muslims for Trump; Lisa Shin, founder of Korean Americans for Trump; and Lynne Patton, vice president of the Eric Trump Foundation.

While the offspring of New York’s super rich can be seen in and out of rehab, or struggling to hold down jobs, the Trump adult children are seemingly happily married and assets to his global corporation. “He is not politically correct”.
