Ivanka Trump: ‘My father will fight for all Americans’

She has taken an active role in her father’s burgeoning political career as well. “I think she’s one of his best assets”. “I think she could actually help her father and her father’s operation when it comes to outreach to women because I think there’s a lot of Republican women that identify with some of the balances with family versus professional”, she said. She was clearly intent on showing the GOP and the country as a whole just what the nation’s rising generation of conservative women look and sound like.

“My father taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort”, she said.

Before Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president of the United States Thursday, daughter Ivanka was beaming with pride as she took to the RNC stage to introduce her dad.

“Men have often given their female offspring more opportunities than their female partners”, Filipovic writes, “perhaps seeing their children as extensions of themselves”. Indeed, in polling that “Make It Work” conducted past year, we found that 93 percent of all voters support equal pay, including 79 percent of Republicans, and 75 percent of voters support making affordable, quality care available nationally.

“When you have to categorize men and women into a particular group and a particular pay scale, it gets very – because people do different jobs”, he said.

Here is a list of tonight’s speakers that will include Trump’s key advisor and daughter Ivanka, who has been one her father’s most important confidants.

For the famously workaholic Donald Trump, raising children during his business’ construction boom in the 1980s required a challenging balance of work and family life.

Oh, and let’s not forget Donald Trump’s view of working women in general.

At times, she’s been called on try to defend her father and diffuse controversies, in some of the toughest moments of the Trump campaign. The impression she left was unmistakable – and irrefutable.

It’s surely no coincidence that Ivanka put these issue front and center in her speech. Judge her father not like a politician – by his “words” – but by his “accomplishments”. Clearly, those skylines have included her own dreams and aspirations – many of them already fulfilled.

The businesswoman also talked up her father’s track record of hiring and promoting women in his many companies.

She has campaigned alongside her father and stepped out on her own on the campaign trail, bringing testimonials and personal anecdotes. Eric Trump also has appeared on “The Apprentice”.
