Ivanka Trump, a champion for women?

Women’s Wear Daily is reporting that the blush-colored sheath she wore to introduce her father is from the Ivanka Trump collection, and retails for $138.

Ivanka also made Mike Pence the choice for the important executive post of the vice-president, which pretty much means the actual powers will lay with Donald Trump and his over-engaged family, chiefly Ivanka.

When he and Ivanka married in 2009 after about two years of dating – the merging of two prominent NY real estate families – she converted to Judaism for him.

While she wouldn’t divulge the specifics of her conversations with her father, she said she isn’t afraid of sharing her opinion with him.

But Ivanka, who has her own fashion label, is a businesswoman in her own right – and happened to be selling one nearly like it. She told the audience, “He will fight for equal pay, for equal work and I will fight for this, too, right alongside of him”.

Trump has said that he thinks it’s easy for companies to set up daycares themselves because all you need is “some blocks and… some swings and some toys”. In 1994, Trump said in an interview with ABC News, that “putting a wife to work is a very unsafe thing”.

Ivanka Trump: “As president, my father will change the labor laws. and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all”.

Ivanka Trump is now officially the daughter of the Republican nominee for president.

Notably, the “lock her up chants” have been less than previous nights after Trump didn’t indulge them earlier.

“For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion and tonight, he’s the people’s nominee”, she said. A Trump speechwriter has come forward to take the blame.

Yet she treads a careful line, supporting her father but equally careful never to say anything controversial, as she maintains a carefully curated public image as businesswoman and entrepreneur.

And perhaps, like step-mother like daughter, as Ivanka Trump has the convention buzzing about her enviable style. Granted, nearly all of them are comical knockoffs for which she has been rightfully sued, but who among us hasn’t bought the $120 fast fashion version of a $600 designer product? No one is more poised and articulate than my sister and no one will do a better job of explaining to the American people who my father really is’. “So, it’s wonderful for me, as a daughter, to see how passionate people are about this election cycle, and it’s just been great”, she said.

“In a family business you are all running toward a common goal”, Ivanka has said about the family business, which applies to the White Houe.
