Here are some photos of Ivanka Trump leaving Trump Tower Monday night. I hate myself for saying this, but I love her coat. I would never buy it, because I would never buy anything Ivanka-branded or anything by a designer who gives clothes to Ivanka, but still. Pretty coat. Anyway, Ivanka is still a walking conflict of interest, as always. She has yet to step down from any of her business positions with her father?s company or her own company. And yet she?s ?advising? her father?s transition team, planning a move to Washington, and the PEOTUS wants his daughter to have some kind of role in the administration. In an interview on Sunday with Chris Wallace, Donald Trump said:
Trying to keep it in the family. Donald Trump said in an interview on Sunday, December 11, that he’d ‘love’ to have his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, involved in his administration.
“We’re working that out right now,” the president-elect told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday. “They’re both very talented people. I think we’ll have to see how the laws read. I would love to be able to have them involved. If you look at Ivanka, you take a look, she’s so strong, as you know, to the women?s issue and childcare, and so many things she?d be so good. Nobody can do better than her. I’d just have to see whether or not we can do that. She’d like to do that.”
As for Kushner, 35, who served as a close adviser to the Republican candidate during his campaign, the real estate mogul added, “I’d love to have Jared helping us on deals with other nations and see if we can do peace in the Middle East and other things. He’s very talented. He’s a very talented guy. So, we’re looking at that from a legal standpoint right now.”
[From Us Weekly]
?I’d love to have Jared helping us on deals with other nations and see if we can do peace in the Middle East.? Horrific. Trump thinks he can just send Jared to Israel and Jared will hammer out a peace deal over breakfast. *shudder*
Meanwhile, did you hear about this? Ivanka auctioned off a $50,000 ?private coffee date? with herself, all to benefit her brother?s foundation.
Ivanka Trump is auctioning a private meeting over coffee for two people willing to pony up a huge contribution to her brother?s foundation. The ?meet and greet? on a mutually agreeable date next year at either Trump Tower in Manhattan or the Trump International Hotel in Washington will last up to 45 minutes, according to a description on Charitybuzz, which values the auction at $50,000.
The winning bid is good for two people, who must pass criminal background checks and be approved by the Secret Service. They?re also expected to ?conduct themselves appropriately? with ?polite manners? and ?respect,? the description says. Proceeds will go to the Eric Trump Foundation, run by Ivanka?s brother, which supports St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital. As of Monday, bidding had reached $23,000. The auction closes Dec. 20.
The auction appears to veer perilously close to the same kind of situation President-elect Donald Trump claimed existed at the Clinton Foundation. Trump lashed the foundation during his campaign, arguing that it was a way the wealthy could curry favor with Hillary Clinton through ?pay to play? contributions while she was secretary of state. In Ivanka Trump?s case, the winning bidders could curry favor with a daughter who has the ear of a president-elect ? and is active herself in his incoming administration.
[From HuffPo]
What could go wrong? Selling access to the First Daughter at a Trump-branded hotel? for charity. We?ll see. I honestly forgot that the Trump kids have their own individual foundations too, and those foundations are likely as shady and self-dealing as their father?s foundation. Ugh.

In the last stumbling, bumbling, unhinged and depressing hours of the Trump campaign, it feels good to take stock of some of the things that went right during the election cycle. For one, the Trump family?s businesses will never be the same. Trump hotels are losing business everywhere, and the Trump kids? side businesses are faltering too. Ivanka works for her father, but she also has her own company, which is clothing and accessories along with her working-mom-newsletter crap. One could argue that Ivanka is the smartest one in the Trump family, and she?s obviously her father?s favorite. So it speaks volumes that Ivanka started to pull away from her father?s campaign in the last month? mostly because she?s worried about her own bottom line.
As a poised businesswoman who can ostensibly speak to the concerns of female voters, Ivanka Trump has become an important part of Donald Trump?s presidential campaign. Her high-profile participation has brought some unwanted attention to her clothing and accessories line, from revelations about the company?s embarrassingly bad maternal-leave policy to its unpaid interns. Then there?s the #GrabYourWallet campaign, where women have been tweeting about boycotting Ivanka Trump?s line.
The New York Times feature, ?Inside Donald Trump?s Last Stand: An Anxious Nominee Seeks Assurance,? is full of confidential nuggets about the Republican nominee?s campaign, but one detail that stands out in particular is about Ivanka appearing in a campaign ad for her father: ?His polished older daughter, Ivanka, sat for a commercial intended to appeal to suburban women who have recoiled from her father?s incendiary language. But she discouraged the campaign from promoting the ad in news releases, fearing that her high-profile association with the campaign would damage the businesses that bear her name.?
The Times also reports that Trump?s spokesperson, Hope Hicks, ?denied that Ms. Trump had misgivings about promoting the ad in which she appeared. ?That?s simply not true,? Ms. Hicks said. ?Ivanka is totally supportive.??
On Good Morning America last week, Ivanka defended the success of her brand and her father, noting, ?Well, the beauty of America is people can do what they like, but I prefer to talk to the millions, tens of millions of American women who are inspired by the brand and the message that I?ve created ? My advocacy, trying to empower women in all aspects of their life, started long before this presidential campaign did. I?ve never politicized that message. People who are seeking to politicize it because they may disagree with the politics of my father, there?s nothing I can do to change that.?
[From NY Magazine]
I?ve been thinking back and trying to remember when Ivanka began to peel off from her father?s campaign. The beginning of the end seemed to be when he had that meltdown in August, and Ivanka just left the country and went on vacation with her family, presumably leaving her father to deal with the mess he had made. Then she came back to the fold and tried to lie her way through the next month, then the p-ssy tape came out and that was pretty much it. She was still making appearances on behalf of the campaign and she?s still trying to put a pleasant face on her father?s incendiary rhetoric, but you can tell that she really only gives a sh-t about her own stuff and how much this will affect her bottom line. Something tells me her dad is going to remember her disloyalty too.

Ivanka Trump was profiled by the business magazine Fast Company, and the interview is? not good. It?s not that Ivanka says anything particularly bad, but that?s just it. Her father is an unhinged gaffe-machine and the personification of every vitriolic internet conspiracy, and Ivanka is the glossy, Stepford-Daughter-face of that. She?s normalizing his behavior and his words every time she treats her father as somehow legitimate. I don?t blame Ivanka for her father?s deplorableness but I do blame her for her part in promoting and normalizing him, I guess. You can read the full Fast Company piece here. The bulk of the interview took place before the p-ssy tape was released. Some highlights:
Her reaction to the p-ssy tape: “My father’s comments were clearly inappropriate and offensive and I’m glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people.?
When she?s referred to as her father?s “surrogate wife?: “Which is deeply offensive. I feel that that’s a very sexist thing to say.”
She offers eight weeks of paid maternity leave at her company: “I do control my own business practices and that?s why I?ve chosen to offer an industry-leading eight weeks of paid leave, but obviously I can?t control the practices of everyone in the universe I do business with.”
She doesn?t like being called her father?s ?advisor?: “I am a daughter and an executive who has worked alongside him.?
Her father?s support within the white supremacist community: “In terms of what you just mentioned. I categorically reject any people within a community that espouses hatred toward anyone, and my father does and has as well, so this is not support that I would be comfortable with. And I couldn?t be comfortable with my father as president of this country if I thought that he could be comfortable with that type of support, and I know that he is not, that?s why he?s denounced it.”
Ivanka isn?t interested in being part of a Trump Administration: “No, I don’t intend to be part of the government.?
[From Fast Company]
I give props to Fast Company because if you read the full piece, you?ll see that they actually fact-check her on several issues involving her own business dealings and public statements, like how many lies she?s told around the issue of maternity leave. The big headline that the political sites are using is that Ivanka doesn?t want to work in a Trump Administration, which? sure, okay. If Trump did win the presidency (OMG) he would want Ivanka there though. To me, the biggest headline was Ivanka being ?deeply offended? at the ?sexism? of being referred to as her father?s surrogate wife. Like, THAT is what you think is sexist? Your dad has been sexually harassing and assaulting women for decades but no one should ? correctly ? refer to you as a ?surrogate wife??

This is an incredibly complicated story that involves multiple interviews by Ivanka Trump and literally decades of work by Hillary Clinton. I am not going to come anywhere near to covering this comprehensively, so if you?d like a deeper dive, I suggest you read this excellent piece at NY Mag detailing Ivanka?s blatant lies and Hillary Clinton?s long history of fighting for family medical leave, maternity leave and more. The story sort of begins this week, when Donald Trump unveiled his ?plan? for paid maternity leave. It was said that Ivanka had a big part in developing the plan, and Ivanka did several high-profile interviews in support of it.
Trump?s newly unveiled plan is only interesting because it rejects the Republican fallback position of ?unpaid maternity leave? and extreme limits of said maternity leave. Trump?s plan ? with Ivanka?s influence ? calls for six weeks of paid maternity leave and a tax deduction for stay-at-home parents. Trump?s plan doesn?t call for paternity leave, optional or not. In a new Cosmo interview out yesterday, Ivanka refers to her father?s plan as ?the first to address this in a comprehensive way.? It is not the first. Hillary Clinton released her comprehensive child-care and family-medical leave plan a year ago. Then Ivanka got testy when pressed about how the Trump plan is really only for women like Ivanka, who give birth and their daddies are expected to go back to work right away. Ivanka says, yes, the plan is meant ?to enable the mother to recover after childbirth. It’s critical for the health of the mother.? So, nothing for dads, nothing for same-sex male partners. That?s when the interview starts to get testy. Then it gets even trickier when Cosmo brings up an old Trump quote! Here?s that part:
Cosmo: In 2004, Donald Trump said that pregnancy is an inconvenient thing for a business. It’s surprising to see this policy from him today. Can you talk a little bit about those comments, and perhaps what has changed?
Ivanka: So I think that you have a lot of negativity in these questions, and I think my father has put forth a very comprehensive and really revolutionary plan to deal with a lot of issues. So I don’t know how useful it is to spend too much time with you on this if you’re going to make a comment like that. My father obviously has a track record of decades of employing women at every level of his company, and supporting women, and supporting them in their professional capacity, and enabling them to thrive outside of the office and within. To imply otherwise is an unfair characterization of his track record and his support of professional women. So the policies at our company reflect that, and the diversity of our workforce, from a gender perspective, and in all perspectives, reflects that. So my father has been a great advocate for the women in the workforce, and that’s part of why he recognized that reform is so necessary.
Cosmo: I would like to say that I’m sorry the questions ? you?re finding them negative, but it is relevant that a presidential candidate made those comments, so I’m just following up.
Ivanka: Well, you said he made those comments. I don’t know that he said those comments.
Cosmo: This is quoted from an NBC [interview] from 2004. I definitely did not make that up. I do want to talk to you a little bit beyond the plan, as well?
Ivanka: I think what I was ? there’s plenty of time for you to editorialize around this, but I think he put forth a really incredible plan that has pushed the boundaries of what anyone else is talking about. On child care specifically, there are no proposals on the table. He really took ownership of this issue, and I really applaud him for doing that. I hope that, regardless of what your political viewpoint is, this should be celebrated.
Cosmo: I want to talk about how this will be paid for. I know that Donald Trump wants to have an increase in defense spending, also is promising tax cuts, [wants to raise] infrastructure spending, and wants to build a wall [at the Mexican border]. How will this plan be paid for?
Ivanka: Well, he’s going to unveil his total tax-reform plan on Thursday, and this is a component of that, so it will be included in his overall budget and economic vision. So it is accounted for, it is paid for under this plan, and it is budget-neutral. In terms of the paid leave component, that’s self-financing through reforms in existing unemployment insurance. So the child care component of the plan, and the dependent care component of the plan, will be presented as part of the larger tax reform that he’s going to be presenting on Thursday in a speech here in New York. And the paid leave component is self-financing through the reforms I just mentioned. I’m going to jump off, I have to run. I apologize.
[From Cosmopolitan]
?He put forth a really incredible plan that has pushed the boundaries of what anyone else is talking about. On child care specifically, there are no proposals on the table.? That?s a blatant lie. Not only did HRC introduce a more comprehensive maternity, paternity and family medical leave proposal, she did so a year ago. But the real story is that Ivanka is just the same as her father: a petty, salty liar who runs away (or hangs up) when pressed about her petty lies. Ivanka already whined on Twitter about this Cosmo interview too, directing this comment to Cosmo: ?your readers do & should care about issues impacting women & children. Keep the focus where it belongs?advocating change.? Yeah, Cosmo readers cared about women and children before you came along, Ivanka.

These are some photos of Ivanka Trump on Day 4 of the RNC, the final night. Ivanka attended every day of the RNC, but she was given the honor of introducing her father the final night. While I thought Ivanka did a good job with her speech ? mostly because she sounded like a Democrat ? most people probably won?t even remember what she said because her father?s speech was so long, so negative, so dictatorial and so crazy.
Still, much like Michelle Obama, people are interested in what Ivanka wears. For her big speech, Ivanka chose this summery and feminine sleeveless dress in a pale pink. Considering she just gave birth to her third child in March, I thought she looked put-together and pretty, and the dress was reasonably flattering. Okay, if I?m being nitpicky, I thought she could have chosen something with better tailoring, but I also thought the fact that it wasn?t perfectly tailored was the point: she?s just like us, she wears off-the-rack.
Well, funny story. Her dress is still being discussed, but not because she made such a major fashion impact. The dress is from the Ivanka Trump Collection, which is sold at Macy?s, Bloomingdale?s, Nordstrom and more. She even tweeted about it, including a link to where you can buy the dress online (it?s already sold out).

Her dad could very well be the next President of the United States, and Ivanka Trump is certainly carrying on the family legacy with pride and poise.
In the April 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the beautiful businesswoman discusses the best way to make a first impression- ?Before entering a meeting, take the initiative to research and form educated opinions about important topics so that you have an insightful position to share if and when the time is right. Technology can be a major distraction, so leave your phone or laptop behind if it will not add anything to the meeting. Also, be on time or ideally, a couple of minutes early, and dress in a polished and professional manner.?
Ivanka also advises women on how to feel more confident in the workplace- ?Start off by listening to the people around you. Absorb as much knowledge as you can, and if you don't know the answer to something, do the research first and see if you can come up with the answer or a solution on your own. If this is one of your first few jobs out of college, rest assured, you are not expected to know everything. Ask smart questions?but nothing you could figure out yourself with a quick Google search.?

Ivanka Trump covers the new issue of Town & Country. It would be politically disadvantageous for any wife/daughter/political surrogate to cover a magazine which is so ?fancy?? unless that candidate is Donald Trump, you know? Like, Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton couldn?t cover Town & Country during an election cycle, but since it?s Ivanka, it?s a non-issue. Anyway, Ivanka talks to Town & Country about her dad and how he?s not a terrible sexist (he is, but his unhinged fascism worries me more than his unhinged sexism). Ivanka also chats about whether she ?has it all? with motherhood and a career. Some highlights:
Whether she ever admonishes her dad: ?Well, I?m his daughter. In a political capacity, I don?t. It?s his campaign. I don?t feel that?s my role. But I would challenge him as a child. That?s what children do. [My daughter] Arabella challenges me every day. People ask me, do I ever disagree with my father? It would be a little strange if I didn?t.?
On her father?s repeated sexist comments: “You could also list a few comments he?s made about men that are unflattering. I think my dad is highly gender-neutral. If he doesn?t like someone, he?ll articulate that, and I think it?s also part of what resonates about him. He?ll say what he?s thinking.?
On her father and his respect for women: ?If he didn?t feel that women were as competent as men, I would be relegated to some role subordinate to my brothers. I think this is one of his great strengths: He fully prioritizes merit and accomplishment and skill and ability over background, education, and gender. This company, over four decades, has always had women in its highest ranks? I think he?s one of the great advocates for women, and he has been a great example to me my whole life? He 100 percent believes in equality of gender? [He has] confidence in women to do any job that a man can do, and my whole life has been proof of that.?
On working, motherhood and ?having it all?: ?I abhor this question of ?having it all.? People talk about balance. Balance is an awful measure of things, because it implies a scale that inevitably tips. I like to look through the filter of ?Is the life I?m leading consistent with my priorities?? For me, my family is the ultimate litmus test. Do I feel I?m giving my children what they need? But I don?t do everything. I wouldn?t be able to do what I do professionally if I did. I don?t go to the afternoon classes. I don?t take my son to the sports playgroup in the middle of the day. For some people that?s a compromise they aren?t willing to make, and I respect that.?
On the possibility of entering politics herself: ?It?s not something I?ve ever been inclined to do, but I?m 34, so who knows? At this point I would never even contemplate it, but that doesn?t mean that when I?m 50 I won?t have a change of heart.?
[From Town & Country]
For the ?having it all? question, I kind of respect her answer. Ivanka has never tried to convince anyone that she?s the second coming of Jennifer Garner, you know? She?s never put on the air of ?I?m an amazing, hands-on mom who is there for every little moment.? She?s openly discussed her work schedule (an ordinary work day for her is 16 hours long) and she?s said that she?s not spending a lot of time with her kids during the week. And it?s clear that her work is just as important to her as her family, so… whatever works for her. As for all of the stuff about her dad? that bothers me so much more. Just because Donald Trump plays favorites with one of his daughters (and yes, I do think Ivanka is his favorite child), that doesn?t mean that he?s not an awful misogynist.

Ivanka Trump has a feature in the March issue of Vogue to promote Celebrity Apprentice. She’s photographed here by Mario Testino. Her dress is Erdem, and she’s hanging out with her son, Joseph. Most of the interview covers Ivanka’s fast-paced lifestyle and how she rules the boardroom at work but finds time to balance family. Her husband, Jared Kushner, is present through much of the discussion. He calls his wife “definitely the CEO of our household, whereas I?m more on the board of directors.”
Ivanka’s previously talked about how she works 16 hour days, and she sees her kids (including daughter Arabella) at night for a quick sleep routine. Ivanka believes working so much helps her be a better mother when she comes home. The mere thought exhausts me because there’s always so much to be done as a mother. Even working for 8 hours every day on top of mothering can push someone to their limits. Jared says Ivanka “doesn’t want to outsource mothering,” but she does have help. She just doesn’t talk about it.
In this interview with Vicki Woods, Ivanka reveals how she focuses on family in one key way. Every weekend she turns off her phone to observe the Sabbath, which is solely devoted to family time:
On turning off her phone: “Yeah, we observe the Sabbath. From Friday to Saturday we don?t do anything but hang out with one another. We don’t make phone calls. It?s an amazing thing when you?re so connected … to really sign off. And for Arabella to know that she has me, undivided, one day a week? We don?t do anything except play with each other, hang out with one another, go on walks together. Pure family.”
On appreciating what she has: “You realize in life not that many things matter that much, but your choice of spouse is really everything. I am running a thousand miles a minute, and so is he, but none of it really matters. And I wouldn?t be able to do any of it if I didn?t have somebody who cared about me and had my best interests in mind. If I was married to somebody who, even if beneath the surface, didn?t like the fact that I work so hard or didn?t support my ambitions for myself or felt self-conscious about my last name … I think it would be very hard to build a solid foundation on that.”
[From Vogue]
Ivanka also reveals how she and Jared go out nearly every weeknight together, which sounds awesome but exhausting. I couldn’t be away from home for 16 hours (plus a date and time with a personal trainer) every day, but no shade. It works for them, and a dose of concentrated family time every weekend must help a lot. Turning off your phone for 25 hours every weekend is a hardcore commitment. Ivanka seems very well bonded with her kids in these pictures. Good for her.
