Ivanka Trump mentioned that she was working on this policy in her speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.

Speaking in a gymnasium in a local community center, Trump spoke of his desire for reform. “Child care is such a problem. That’s what we’re doing”.
Both his eldest daughter, 34-year-old Ivanka Trump, and campaign manager, veteran Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway, have urged him to roll out policy ideas that support working mothers.
“When I saw this in its full form and I saw the anger with which she said it”, Trump told the Fox News Channel early Monday, “I think it’s the single biggest mistake of the political season”. “She is the one that has been pushing so hard for it”.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Donald Trump is rolling out proposals Tuesday to make child care more affordable for working families, including a plan to guarantee new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave and create new dependent-care savings accounts. While Donald Trump has rightly identified the need, his proposal for paid leave is limited and miscalculates what working families face when serious family and medical needs arise.
Reyes said she encounters racism from Trump supporters while door-knocking for Clinton.
The signature element of the plan, six weeks of paid maternity leave for new mothers whose employers do not now provide coverage, would be financed by eliminating fraud in unemployment insurance.
Michael Caputo, a former campaign staffer who still supports Trump despite a pay dispute, said he was thrilled to see the GOP nominee doing this. If so, could you really blame them? I hope they’re both in good health. We will get them to be okay, right?
The trendlines at Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight exhibit an increasingly competitive race, telling us that Trump’s bottomless pit of prior campaign sins is nearly completely irrelevant. Lower-income earners would receive child-care spending rebates through the existing Earned Income Tax Credit.
► His proposed tax deductions for child care expenses are capped; people who make more than $250,000 individually – and more than $500,000 as joint filers – are not eligible. So the first question is how much Trump’s plan would cost – and the second is whether there’s enough fraud to pay for it. She says the details of this plan are not clear. With some 24 million households in that category, the child-care tax break would cost the government $158 billion a year. “The EITC is already far more generous for families with children, so it seems likely that this kind of expansion would be pretty costly”.
The candidate’s aides said that his goals would be achieved through a change in the tax code to help pay for child care, to be detailed in another speech, probably this week.
The Trump campaign says that stay-at-home parents would also be eligible for the same tax deductions working parents now receive.
During the exchange in a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska asked the in governor what to say to his own daughter when she expresses concerns about Trump’s views on women.
Trump is also expected to propose incentives for employers to provide child-care options at work.
The campaign official said that Donald Trump will argue Tuesday that he has a “real policy to lower the cost of child care expenses” and that “Hillary just has platitudes”.
At a speech in a Philadelphia suburb Thursday, the Republican nominee will call for guaranteeing new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave.
Reid chastised the media’s reaction to Clinton’s recent health challenges Tuesday – coverage that boiled over last weekend when it was revealed she is recovering from pneumonia.
“By so many measures, America is stronger and more prosperous than when we started out on this journey together”, Obama said. And Trump has been trying to soften his image among college-educated women who have been reluctant to support a candidate who has made many derogatory remarks toward women.

“This is a woman who works 20 hours a day and comes into contact with tens of thousands of people and you pick up germs and viruses and things like that and you get exhausted”, said Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy of CT.
