Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, said her father “would be amazing
for women in this country” in a new interview.
The GOP frontrunner has taken a lot of criticism on
the campaign trail from his attacks on Fox News Anchor Megyn
Kelly and GOP
contender Carly Fiorina, saying she did not have “the face” to be
President.
Speaking with CNN, Ivanka
defended her father, saying he has always worked hard to treat women equally.
"I wouldn't be high-level
executive within his organization if he felt that way," she said. "So
he's always supportive and encouraged women and truthfully he's proven that
through decades through his employment practices. Through his hiring
practices."
Ivanka, along with her brothers
Donald Jr. and Eric, have worked in the Trump Organization since earning their
degrees, each focusing on a different area of the international corporation.
Ivanka said her father’s drive
is what has made her so successful.
"He's been an amazing
parent and given me every opportunity to succeed. He's been loving and
supportive," she said. "He's pushed me. He's corrected me. He's
disciplined me and I think as a parent now myself I appreciate how hard that is
more than ever before."
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump has attacked Democrat
frontrunner Hillary Clinton, calling her the “worst” Secretary of
State the United States has ever had.
Yet personally, Ivanka Trump has
been very close friends with Clinton’s daughter Chelsea, and says though her
parents are currently attacking each other it has not affected their
friendship. “I have great respect for her. She's been a great friend to me.
I've been a great friend to her. So the politics of our parents is not relative
to our friendship.”
