Six-year-old Ivanka Trump was furious: She’d gotten a Barbie for Christmas while her two brothers got Legos and an Erector Set. So she grabbed some super glue, locked the bedroom door and built an unbreakable Lego model of Trump Tower. “My father, in scolding me, was never so proud,” she recounted years later.
That headstrong little girl is now a trusted political adviser to her father, and a willowy walking advertisement for her own line of jewelry, clothing, shoes and more, as well as a power player in the Trump real estate empire. She’s the rare executive vice president whose skill set includes an ability to walk the job on a construction site in stilettos. (“If you do so,” she once warned, “you better be able to walk without too much drama around it.”)
Her father, by contrast, is the very definition of drama — in his presidential campaign, with his three marriages and in his brash approach to life. Ivanka Trump’s speech is as measured as her father’s is unrestrained. Her Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest accounts project an oh-so-curated image that is equal parts fashionista, doting mother, corporate deal-maker and cheerleader for her hashtagged cause, #WomenWhoWork. Sometimes she achieves harmonic convergence.
For example, her back-to-school photo on IvankaTrump.com documenting the contents of daughter Arabella’s preschool backpack. It included the 4-year-old’s “favorite Ivanka Trump sandals.” As for politics, Trump, 33, plays down her influence in her father’s quest for the White House. But Donald Trump volunteers Ivanka’s name when asked whose advice he values.
It was Ivanka who introduced her father when he announced his campaign for president. It was Ivanka who huddled with him during the breaks when the Republican debates heated up. “She’s got great sensibility,” he says, with obvious admiration.

She’s like Dagny Taggart!

The Washington Times has some good material, but their site has way too many pop up ads.
I have a super crush on this woman. She appears to be pretty amazing in every way that matters. Add her remarkable siblings to the picture, and you have pretty good evidence of great parenting.
But but but, Chelsea!
Nice.
she is the definition of statuesque beauty
PS. How many daughters would love to have a dad like this?
Trump appeared to be a good dad.
Both pictures are adorable. He’s a proud papa, and she looks to be a daddy’s girl :)
He raised them about as well as anyone I know.
