Ivanka Trump believes father’s denials of sexual misconduct

16 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ivanka Trump says she believes her father’s denials of sexual misconduct.

Trump, who led the U.S. delegation at the closing ceremony for the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, made the comment in an interview aired Monday on NBC. Asked if she believed women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, Ivanka Trump called it a “pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter.”

She says: “I believe my father, I know my father. I think I have that right as a daughter, to believe my father.”

The president has been accused of inappropriate behavior by more than a dozen women. He has denied the allegations.

1. Your daddy is wonderful, Ivanka. And, yes, lots of daddies do that with their daughters.

Why you ask?

[dalton99a]

20. "Leave my Daddy alone"

[Zoonart]

2. Liar.

You are not ten years old, Princess. You are simply too old to be that stupid.

[MaryMagdaline]

3. No she doesn't

She knows more than anyone what a creep he is

[demmiblue]

4. This. n/t

[gratuitous]

5. "Just because he cheated on my mom, I still believe his denials"

What the hell else is she going to say? You have the right to believe any insane thing you want, princess.

[OldHippieChick]

16. You are everywhere on this board defending this

entitled twit. If she can't stand the heat, she should stay out of politics. Other daughters of Presidents were left alone because they kept to their own and did not insert themselves into policy and pretend diplomacy. Of course none of them had a clothing line to promote by using the US Govt as a cover and for financial support.

23. More accurately, "why would anyone ask an Assistant to the President a question like that?"

"why would anyone ask a daughter a question like that about her father..."

More accurately, "why would anyone ask an Assistant to the President (her actual title in the administration) a question like that about her employer..."

However, I do understand why framing it as such would be inconvenient to many narratives.

7. she is a trump therefore she LIES.....next

[ollie10]

8. "I think I have that right as a daughter, to believe my father.

Ya Think?

Of course she has the right to believe in her father.

And we have a right to believe in her father....or NOT!!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Is That Really A Right?

Or merely a choice. I think the right is to believe whatever cockamamie thing you want to believe. But, there's no special right about believing daddy.

[ollie10]

15. In a free society, you have the right to your beliefs.....

So, yes, she has the right to believe in Santa Claus, she has the right to believe there are men on Mars who control who wins the World Series every year....and she has the right to believe the lies coming from her dad.

Doesn't mean her ideas make any sense

[stonecutter357]

10. they all look just like her .

[Blue_Adept]

11. I can't really hold this one against her

I mean, how often do you really, really, hear someone say something like this about their father. You often don't even hear it from people that are estranged from each other but related like this, never mind the awkwardly close relationship they have.

There are better fish in the barrel to shoot than this one. She'll never say otherwise for a range of reasons, some of them very good ones as families of all kinds circle the wagons in these instances.

[Javaman]

12. no she doesn't. it's just they have to keep their stories straight to maintain the grift. nt

[Angry Dragon]

13. Stockholm Syndrome

[spanone]

14. i couldn't care less what his daughter thinks. she's an active member of his criminal family.

her opinion is tainted at best.

[unblock]

17. does she also believe his repeated boasting of sexual misconduct?

[edhopper]

18. Here's the thing Ivanka

once you took an official roll, all questions are appropriate and you no longer were just his daughter.

Suck it up.

[Atman]

21. Seriously, what did you expect her to say?

C'mon. She's a horrible person just like her groping father, but it shouldn't surprise anyone that she's going to defend him.

[kskiska]

22. She means she has "an obligation"

to believe her father. She once said when asked about his inappropriate behavior with her, "If he wasn't my father, I would spray him with Mace."

By the way, Trump actually brought the Playboy Playmate to a family gathering and introduced her to both his sons and their wives, where Eric even complimented him on her hotness.
