Ivanka Trump, Chelsea Clinton defend Malia Obama amid tabloid coverage

"SNIP..........

Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton are defending former first daughter Malia Obama amid media reports about her personal life.

The current and former first daughters' defense of former President Barack Obama's elder daughter came after a video showing her apparently blowing smoke rings went viral. Other media reports in recent months have attempted to chronicle the older Obama daughter's personal life since she left the White House.

Malia Obama, 19, is currently a student at Harvard University.

Clinton has taken up for her fellow first children before. In August, she came to the defense of President Trump's youngest son, Barron, after The Daily Caller published a column criticizing the way the 11-year-old was dressed.

Blowing SMOKE RINGS? Seriously? Is that all National Enquirer, World News Daily, and the rest of the birdcage liners have?

blow a couple of smoke rings to get a laugh. It was a bit of mild silliness and probably far less detrimental to health than all the secondhand smoke that everyone was inhaling in those crowded, smoky bar rooms and coffee shops back in the day.

I thought I could lose a couple of pounds, but hated everything about smoking
and after two cigarettes I quit.

I also confess I kissed some boys in college.

Many (most) new smokers have parents who did it.

Hopefully she'll outgrow it. If not, hopefully she faces a life issue that steels her resolve to quit like her dad
