Ivanka Trump says people have 'unrealistic expectations' of her White House role

Many see first daughter Ivanka Trump as a person who can temper President Trump’s strong views and turn his governing decision in a more moderate direction.

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, she suggested that is not actually how their relationship—or her position in the White House—works.

"Some people have created unrealistic expectations of what they expect from me," Ivanka said. "That my presence in and of itself would carry so much weight with my father that he would abandon his core values and the agenda that the American people voted for when they elected him. It’s not going to happen."

"To voice dissent publicly would mean I’m not part of the team," she noted in regards to her role in the administration. "That doesn’t mean everyone in the White House has homogeneous views – we don’t, and I think that’s good and healthy – but that doesn’t mean we’re publicly undermining [each other] and this administration."

Many have criticized Ivanka for not being more vocal about her personal views and beliefs, particularly when they appear to run counter to her father’s words and actions.

Among them is Hillary Clinton.

She was asked in a recent interview with Refinery 29, “whether Ivanka Trump should be held responsible [for her father’s actions].”

“Everyone associated with [President Trump]…they’re either on board with that, or they’re not. And if they’re not, they need to be speaking out or leaving," Clinton replied. "But if they remain silent and just give lip service to contrary points of views, then they are part of his agenda and should be judged and held accountable for that.”
