Ivanka Trump says she does not like being called the president's 'accomplice'

Updated

This week, Ivanka Trump traveled to Berlin for the Women20 summit. One paper took to calling her "First Flüsterin" -- or "First Whisperer":

NBC News' White House correspondent Hallie Jackson asked the president's daughter about the cover and its implications:

"I don't like the intonation of that ... I don't like the word 'accomplice,' because, in this context, I don't know that that's productive," she said.

"One of the things that I value about my father, as first a businessman and now as the leader of our country, is that he curates ideas and he likes to hear from people with divergent viewpoints," she continued. "And that's not always true in politics. It's actually seldom true."

This comes soon after Ivanka discussed another word connected to her: complicit. She said, "I don't know what it means to be complicit, but you know, I hope time will prove that I have done a good job and much more importantly that my father's administration is the success that I know it will be."
