In a recent "fireside chat" with Moms for Liberty, former President Donald Trump made new assertions about the role his daughter Ivanka Trump played in his administration. The conversation covered various topics, including transgender rights, Trump's Scottish heritage, and Elon Musk. Trump highlighted how Ivanka gave up her successful shoe, clothing, and accessories business to take on a serious role in his administration, NBC News reported.
Trump revealed that Ivanka's business venture had been thriving and profitable, but she decided to step away from it in 2018. The closure of her business was attributed to poor sales. Trump emphasized that Ivanka's commitment to serve her country outweighed the financial gains she could have made from her flourishing brand.
Initially, Trump had considered appointing Ivanka as the United Nations ambassador, citing her capabilities and potential for unmatched competition in the position. However, Ivanka expressed her desire to focus on "helping people get jobs." Trump highlighted her efforts in visiting major companies such as Walmart and Exxon, playing a pivotal role in hiring millions of people during her tenure in his administration.
The roles of Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner in Trump's administration raised ethics concerns, as they reportedly earned $82 million while serving as advisers to the former president. However, these issues were not directly addressed during the conversation with Moms for Liberty.
While Trump's claims about Ivanka's sacrifices and achievements received a muted response from the crowd, the conversation swiftly shifted to more familiar talking points. Trump proceeded to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats, and ABC network, which is set to host a debate on September 10. He described Harris as a "Marxist" and a "defective person," asserting that she was reluctant to engage in a debate.
Trump delved into his disapproval of gender-affirming surgeries, expressing concern over the possibility of children undergoing such procedures without sufficient understanding or consent. However, he quickly veered into tangents about his former reality TV show, The Apprentice, President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, and even his own Scottish heritage.
Throughout the discussion, Trump reminisced about his parents' enduring love and lengthy marriage, acknowledging their faithfulness for six and a half decades. Reflecting on his own relationship history, Trump humorously conceded that he wouldn't be able to surpass the longevity of his parents' union.
As the former president continues to make public appearances and share insights, his remarks about Ivanka's sacrifice and her impact on job creation are likely to spark further discussion and analysis.
