Until now, Trump has failed to make equal pay, or indeed any rights for women, a pillar-or even a small aspect-of his candidacy.

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.
In her speech, she emphasized her dad’s qualifications in terms of how he has succeeded as a businessman and parent.
The former model made an appearance at the Republican National Convention to introduce her father with an eloquent speech and to support his presidential campaign.
Implicitly pushing back on the accusations of sexism her father has faced, Ivanka talked about how she has seen him work with women.
And not only have all the Trump children lined up with unwavering unity behind their father’s candidacy, each addressing the convention at various points throughout the week, but apparently all the women in the Trump family have been wearing shoes from Ivanka’s line all week as well.
Who would be America’s first woman president: Hillary Clinton or Ivanka Trump?

“As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women weren’t a significant portion of the workplace, and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all”, Ivanka Trump said.
Trump insisted that he was joking to avoid having the media trumpet headlines proclaiming that he wanted his daughter in the White House with him.
Her husband is always amazed by Ivanka Trump and says that despite her responsibilities, the woman doesn’t seem to break a sweat.
“They’ll make a big deal …” She said she was raised to express her opinion. Her smart attire was from the Ivanka Trump collection, priced at a modest $138. Talking with NBC News, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker proposed that rather than himself as Trump’s vice presidential nominee, Ivanka should fill the role.

Ivanka may in fact be the best weapon he has in his arsenal. And the GOP typically opposes other family-friendly work policies that would benefit workers, claiming they would hurt companies.
