Ivanka Trump Shares Why She Never Brought Dates Around Her Father

With Donald Trump’s presidential victory in 2016, Ivanka promptly stepped into an advisory role alongside her brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric, as well as her husband Jared Kushner. Her role focused on “the education and economic empowerment of women and their families,” and “job creation and economic growth through workforce development, skills training, and entrepreneurship.”

In 2019, during Gridiron’s dinner—a prestigious 134-year-old tradition bringing politicians, media, and other famous personalities together for some good-natured roasting—Ivanka stood in for her father in front of over 700 distinguished guests. Making light of the situation, she jested about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s green job proposal, quipping, “When my father asked me to represent him tonight — no, this isn’t a comedic bit — I didn’t have a moment to hash out jokes of my own.” “I was wary the funniest thing might just be to read aloud passages from the Green New Deal.” Ivanka then remarked on the difficulty of being Donald Trump’s daughter and facing critique for advocating hard work despite her privileged beginnings, earning a “cringeworthy chuckle.”

Observe that Ivanka Trump faced criticism for her White House tenure beside her father. Entering August 2020, a San Francisco apparel company accused Ivanka’s business of “improperly leveraging White House power for personal benefit.”

The lawsuit in California’s Superior Court alleged, per USA Today, that her company employees exploited “government events for promotional piggybacking” and abused the prestige of the White House for personal gain.

Per USA Today, John Coffee, a professor at Columbia Law School, indicated that the case had tenuous grounds. Presently, with Donald Trump having vacated the White House following his electoral defeat by Joe Biden, Ivanka was visibly emotional witnessing her father’s last Presidential address at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, D.C.
