My father is colour blind and gender neutral: Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Trump became her father Donald Trump’s ambassador to women Thursday night when she sought to introduce a Republican presidential nominee who prioritizes equal pay and affordable child care. Sure, she’s supporting her father and his terrifying dumpster fire of a campaign and that is pretty hard to get past, but really, did she have a choice?
The next morning, she tweeted a link promoting the $138 dress. She was about as far from her showboating, caustic and unsafe father as she could be, and some argue that could make her even more risky down the line. The women in Trump’s inner circle may well love and respect him, but he hasn’t been a model feminist on the campaign trail – or during his decades in the public eye before the run. Instead, it seems Ivanka, like many female family members of politicians before her, has one job: to do the bidding of the actual person in power when it comes to “women and children”, who make up the majority of the country but are nevertheless routinely treated like a special interest group by the men elected to office.
After the billionaire businessman characterized Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists last summer, the storied department store stopped selling his menswear line. When I found myself surrounded in the convention hall by delegates chanting, “Lock her up!”
Whatever personal doubts they have about Trump pales in comparison to their hatred of Hillary Clinton, who is set to clinch the Democratic nomination next week, West said.
A Republican National Convention that broke traditions right and left featured four prime-time slots for Mr. Trump’s children, an unprecedented shift in both the nominee’s campaign and American politics.
So Trump’s relationship with women is really just emblematic of a larger male demographic, who would like to raise a kick-ass daughter that can take care of herself and Wednesday a submissive partner who will have dinner ready by six, thank you very much.
It’s official: Donald Trump has “humbly” accepted the Republican candidacy.
“In Trump’s eyes, all of these people speak to his greatness”.
Part and parcel of the Trump campaign’s brand is its misogyny. A T-shirt emblazoned on the back in big, block letters: “TRUMP THAT BITCH”. “I guess he was just looking for some balance on the ticket”, Pence joked of Trump. She vowed to help guide her father. “Come on, we’ll talk for about 10 hours”, he said, according to Think Progress.
Trump won NY in a rout and his Republican primary opponents never again mounted a serious challenge.
Trump went on to lament the way his wife, the executive, “shouted” in her new role (good to know he resurfaced that attack in 2016).
As much as she is steadfastly loyal to him, Ivanka is also wise enough to know how much damage could be done to herself and her business if she aligns herself too closely with her father at his most vicious and unpredictable.
That’s in addition her role managing her own eponymous line of clothing, shoes and handbags marketed to working women, and her position as executive vice president of acquisitions and development at the Trump Organization.
