Ivanka Trump Defiantly Defends Her Dad Donald Trump has been criticized relentlessly by the media, and his character has come into question time and time again. Now, his daughter Ivanka Trump is coming to her fathers defense, speaking from the viewpoint of a wife and mother herself. Ive seen him in the capacity obviously as a father, and a very loving one, and also as an incredible executive who built an amazing company, she told reporters. And he really is remarkable. Ultimately, I think the testament to any person is their track record and thats not just their professional track record, of which his is well know, he is enormously accomplished, hes employed tens of thousands of people, hes achieved success in multiple industries at the highest level, Ivanka continued. Reporters at Breitbart then asked why she believed her father would put himself through the wringer of the politics of personal destruction? A lot of people who run for elected office are looking for a platform you know and its the next step in a political career so they dont have that much to lose in the national awareness, she began. My father had that. He has an amazing life and hes built an incredible company and really hes doing this for the reasons hes articulated. I mean he cant stand back and watch whats happening to this country anymore, and hes been saying this for a long time. The energy and the passion that hes elicited, you were talking about in the beginning about sort of leadership and his viewpoint on different issuesfrom day one my father set the agenda for what the whole party is talking about and really politics in general across parties, she concluded. What do you think? Do you applaud Ivanka for standing up for her father? Are you tired of the media trying to paint Trump as a villain?
