In a televised interview with NBC, Ivanka Trump was asked, in reference to the numerous sex scandals, affairs, and sexual harassment claims that Donald Trump has been accused of, “Do you believe your father’s accusers?”
The consummate ice queen, a glowing and outwardly unperturbed Ivanka said, “I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it.”
Ivanka went on to explain,
“I believe my father, I know my father. I think I have that right as a daughter to believe my father.”
Fair enough, maybe.
“I don’t think that’s a question you would ask many other daughters.”
Probably true. But. Literally no one on social media, or in the media, empathised with her.
Sorry @IvankaTrump you don’t get the daughter pass. You work in the White House. No soup for you.

How much is she paid for this privileged White House advisor role? What taxpayer funded perks does she get - are they transparent in the budget? Was the advisory role advertised? Was there a vetting system? How did she get security clearance (after growing up in NYC I'm pretty sure here nose would not be clean, so to speak)? Lets hope she doesn't entertain those first female POTUS dreams so we don't have an entire dynasty of Trumpians inflicted on the free world.
On the one hand, I believe that people have the right to blindly defend close relatives, on the other hand, I don't believe in nepotism.
If D Trump wasn't contemptuous of long held tradition of US presidents not employing relatives, then Ivanka wouldn't be fielding such questions.
