She's just a daughter sharing thoughts with her dad, with an official title and West Wing office.



While Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner have repeatedly been presented as “moderating influences” in the White House, the couple have demonstrated little ability to alter Trump’s regressive agenda. According to a widely shared piece in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair, Ivanka has “tried to distance herself from her own efforts” on issues including climate change—along with LGBT rights and reproductive justice—a move that has “hurt her credibility with” numerous power players. Asked about her role as a presidential adviser, she claimed she’s just “a daughter” sharing thoughts with her dad, despite her official title and West Wing office.

“I have my views and I share them candidly,” Ivanka told Dr. Oz, according to CBS. “And as a daughter I have the latitude to do that. But I also respect the process that my father is now president. And the American people elected him based on his agenda. And my job isn’t to undermine that agenda.”

“I don’t view it as my obligation to moderate,” she continued, “and I don’t think anyone working for a sitting president should see themselves in that capacity.”

3. The American people did not elect him. The Russians and their KGOP installed him.

He has no fucking agenda.

That woman makes my skin crawl almost as much as her father.

and hair then google a photo of trump from the 90s.

His hair was clearly brown then, now it's blonde/orange.

So are his brows. So he's also coloring his eyebrows?

The way he looks at and touches his daughter is so beyond any semblance of normal.

Disgusting! My own father (of 5 daughters) called him a "pig".

11. Is the creepy expression on Trump's face really as incestuous as it appears?

All that's missing is his pelvic thrusts. No normal father would embrace his adult daughter by grabbing her hips to pull her body closer to his. A father would fully embrace her with his arms around her shoulders in a normal hug, or he might grasp her shoulders, arms or hands.
