WASHINGTON (AP) Ivanka Trump says she believes her fathers 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.

(2,434 posts)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.

(37,748 posts)"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.

Of course she has the right to believe in her father.
And we have a right to believe in her father....or NOT!!!!

(65,136 posts)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.

Doesn't mean her ideas make any sense

(6,400 posts)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.

(31,464 posts)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.

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.
