Ivanka Trump on president's sexual misconduct accusers: 'I believe my father'

[TomCADem]

Source: USA Today

Ivanka Trump believes her father’s denials against the more than a dozen women who have accused the president of sexual misconduct — even if she doesn't think she should have to address it.

“I believe my father, I know my father. So I think I have that right as a daughter to believe my father," Trump’s oldest daughter and a top adviser told NBC in South Korea. She added she thought it was "a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter."

Ivanka Trump also addressed the president’s controversial call to arm teachers, saying she was open to the idea.

"I think that having a teacher who is armed who cares deeply about her students or his students and who is capable and qualified to bear arms is not a bad idea, but it is an idea that needs to be discussed," she said.

Isn't this the whole reason why nepositism is bad? She is running around as though she is actually a member of the administration, but you give her a tough question, and she pulls out the he's my daddy card?

1. I thought she didn't know what it means...

to be complicit.

[milestogo]

2. She knew her father walked into the dressing rooms of teenagers at a pageant

because they complained to her. She knew her father publicly cheated on her mother and on his second wife. She heard the same pussygrabbing tape that the rest of us did.

So unless she is delusional she knows how badly he has always treated women.

She is not delusional. She is a LIAR.

8. Its Amazing How Ivanka Throws Her Own Mother Under the Bus

Ivanka says that she believes her father when her own mother was cheated on by Donald Trump. Talk about cold and opportunistic.

In her new book, Raising Trump, out Tuesday, Ivana recounts how she’s rejected all of Maples’ public apologies for the actress’ headline-making affair with Trump in the mid-1990s that ultimately broke up his first marriage to Ivana. (Trump was married to Ivana from 1977 until 1992, and to Maples — with whom he shares daughter Tiffany — from 1993 to 1999. He married his third and current wife, First Lady Melania Trump, in 2005.)

In her book, Ivana refers to Maples almost exclusively as “the showgirl” — and blasts her for “knowingly entering into a relationship with my husband, the father of three small children.”

“She actively participated in humiliating me in the media and indirectly put my kids at risk for months,” writes Ivana, who has three children with Trump: Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. “I went through hell, and then I was expected to be okay with her being around my children?”

“We all have deep scars from that period of our lives, in part due to her actions,” she adds.

24. Mommy doesn't control the purse strings.

And I'm sure that's White House Barbie's first consideration.

[CatMor]

3. She is saying more than a dozen women are lying.

[djacq]

4. The Orange Daddy's little girl

"a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter."
But, she's also a Senior Adviser that works in the White House.
Can't have it both ways.

Nepotism at it's finest.

[BigmanPigman]

17. That is exactly what Katy Tur said when she showed

the interview on her show today (MSNBC).

[weissmam]

5. again

what qualifies her for just about anything , she ran a mediocre fashion brand , give ne BREAK

[ProudLib72]

6. I am leaving this here, and you can make of it what you will

[keithbvadu2]

11. The two women Donald compared favorably to each other.

The two women Donald compared favorably to each other.

Ivanka must be so proud.

[ProudLib72]

15. It's not my place to say whether or not there is something more

to this father/daughter relationship. However, if there were, it seems reasonable to assume Ivanka would desperately want to avoid that being exposed. It is also reasonable to assume that it would be exposed along with a lot of other things if the scab of infidelity were scratched to vigorously.

[pangaia]

7. This little girl is as hideous a freak as her father.

[bunt homer]

9. Uh, Ivanka?

Just shut up. Okay?

[question everything]

10. I caught a snippet and I have to agree with her: it is inapporpriate to ask her

about her father's affairs.

[BlueStater]

13. Bull.

Since she's a public figure working for the administration and traveling to foreign countries on the taxpayer's dime, it's completely fair game to put her on the spot about her sickening pig of a daddy.

[maryallen]

18. Suggested comeback question for the interviewer:

Is it also "inappropriate" for you to break the nepotism norms which guided previous presidents, particularly when you travel to South Korea as the representative of the
United States?

Further, isn't it "inappropriate" for both you and your husband to continuously conduct governmental business without a top secret clearance from the FBI?

Isn't your behavior illustrative of a monumental sense of entitlement?

21. That video makes my skin crawl

eom

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Either she was coached or she really believes this.

My father said and did weird shit and wanted me to go along with it. Well, I wasn't into cognitive dissonance and he hated me for it.

How much? I was disinherited and the neighbor across the street got $35,000 in his Will.

[old guy]

16. There is nothing she can say

that is worth the cost of the ink to print it.

[TomCADem]

19. Why not, I resign, because I have a conflict of interest?

She holds the job of Presidential Advisor, but by her own admission, she cannot comment on issue of public importance such as President Trump's payment of bribes and hush money to accusers.

[UpInArms]

20. This is just crap ...

If she works for this country, she needs to separate her personal bullshit from reality

If she is window dressing, she needs to be tossed out

[global1]

22. Imagine How Screwed Up In The Head She Is.....

Donald Jr & Eric too.

How hard - psychologically - it must be to have a Father like Trump.

The stress that they must be under. When do you think they will blow and lose it?

[Cha]

23. ivanka is president of trump's perverted fan cult

she's these people ..

"Now, it’s a cult based on the preservation of Trump, a cult that requires conspiracies, bizarre rhetoric and out-and-out lies to keep its members in a high-pitch frenzy"

25. He beat and raped her mother according to Ivana's own words...so you believe you Father...well

Trumps may be rich but they are intellectual midgets and dishonest as well.

[FSogol]

26. and we all believe your father molested you.

[Paladin]

27. Come on, now. What did everybody expect?

Did anybody really believe she'd say something like "My dad's a nasty old sport fucker, he treated my mom like garbage, and the looks he gives me make me have nightmares"?

Quit overestimating Ivanka, ya'll. Quit cutting her any slack. She's unworthy of it.
