Ivanka Trump says her liberal critics have "unrealistic expectations" of her ability to influence President Trump's agenda.
"Some people have created unrealistic expectations of what they expect from me, she wrote in an email to the Financial Times.
That my presence in and of itself would carry so much weight with my father that he would abandon his core values and the agenda that the American people voted for when they elected him," she continued. "Its not going to happen. To those critics, shy of turning my father into a liberal, Id be a failure to them.
Some Democrats have looked to the president's eldest daughter to moderate his policies. But her moderating role has been called into question by some recently, who point to Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord and rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, among other decisions, as evidence that Ivanka has ultimately been ineffective.

The American People voted for Hillary. The American People do not support Trump's agenda.

She's her father's daughter in all ways, so why would anyone expect anything different from her? Nah. That was a brand pitch and nothing more.
