'I am not the decision maker' Ivanka Trump insists it is not her 'obligation to moderate' [tr]

vanka Trump has revealed that she doesn't believed it is her 'obligation to moderate' her father, as she insists her critics misunderstand her role as a White House senior adviser.

The 35-year-old first daughter filmed an interview on The Dr. Oz Show on Monday, and in a preview clip for Thursday's episode, she addresses the expectation that she should be a moderating force in President Trump's administration.

'I think my role and [the role of] anyone who works for the President of the United States, their role is to inform, advise and then ultimately execute,' she said. 'So I am not the decision maker.

'I have my views and I share them candidly — and as a daughter I have the latitude to do that,' she continued. 'But I also respect the process that my father is now president, and the America people elected him based on his agenda. My job isn't to undermine that agenda.'

Ivanka went on to say that her role is to 'embrace the areas where there is commonality', explaining she is 'deeply passionate about fueling the grown of women entrepreneurs' and 'supporting American working families'. Trump's eldest daughter said she feels 'privileged' that he has given her a platform to push the areas and issues that are important to her when they are aligned with his agenda.

'Where I disagree with the agenda, I will share it with him quietly,' she added. 'I don't view it as my obligation to moderate. And I don’t think anyone working for a sitting president should see themselves in that capacity.'

Many of Ivanka's critics accuse her of being a fake feminist, and those who thought she would be a moderating force in the White House have been disappointed in her inability to affect her father's agenda.

"The America people elected him based on his agenda. My job isn't to undermine that agenda."

Ivanka Ping.

I’ve got no problem with what she’s saying here.

The problem is in not what she says, but what she does. Her and Jared are liberal to their core. But there is nothing to be done about that.

A lot of good people have had to leave the White House. And I blame the Kushners.

Well, you can’t get mad at her for long. She’ll give you the Puss-in-Boots (From Shrek) look that’ll make you forget what you were mad at her for.

Dr. Oz?

Good grief, is she dad's outreach to the mindless souls who watch daytime television?

[dragnet2]

Good grief, are you one of those who think Ivanka calls the shots at the White House?

The woman understands her role in the job she has. Even if I disagree with her in other areas; I see nothing wrong with what she said here. In fact I commend her for it. She understands it was her father who was elected; not her and her husband.

[bagster]

Smart AND pretty. She’s like Hillary, only better.

[RitaOK]

Well said.

Ivanka has been a very weak link to the president’s agenda. I think I have not heard enthusiasm from her on anything he actually WON on, or even his marvelous reversals of all things Obama.

In other words Ivanka has given him nothing while those who have given everything are curiously.... gone.

Seems she is West Wing Left, along with Dina Powell, who was a Hillary supporter. I see no visible support coming from either one of them for the president, beyond silence.

The West Wing actively advances not one damn thing of the Trump Agenda.

[proust]

If Trump got rid of her, would she become more powerful outside the White House? 🤔

We have rules here!!

Your pleas are heard

[jmacusa]

Hallelujah! My word what a beautiful woman.

[Mase]

Are you one of those who occupies their mind with daytime television?

[FreeReign]

So I am not the decision maker.

Has the criticism of Ivanka really been that she is a decision maker? I've certainly never said that. I don't recall others saying it.

'I think my role and [the role of] anyone who works for the President of the United States, their role is to inform, advise and then ultimately execute,'

What information does Ivanaka give to the president? Is it real or is it Big Media Fake?

And what has been her advice to the president?

[wardaddy]

Amen brother

People should read the two things she said exactly
