Cleveland, OH -

It's the final day of the 2016 RNC convention and Ivanka Trump, daughter of GOP nominee Donald Trump, is getting ready to take the stage tonight and present her father to the nation in a way nobody else can.

During an interview with Fox News' Ainsley Earhart Thursday morning, Ivanka previewed her remarks and discussed her relationship with her father growing up and as a young executive in his company.

"It's an unbelievable opportunity for me to be able to present to this country my father as I know him both a capacity obviously as a great personal mentor to me and an amazing father," she said. "We speak candidly to one another, we offer our opinions to each other solicited or otherwise and do so privately. We share our thoughts and feelings with him. He's incredibly respectful. More often than not we agree but when we disagree he hears us out and ultimately draws his own conclusion."

Ivanka was asked about rules she had growing up and how she came to be who she is today. She described the accessibility of her father, even in his busiest years, and how she used to call him collect from a payphone everyday at school. He always answered.

"No tattoos, no piercings outside of the ears, there were a lot of rules," Ivanka described about growing up in the Trump household. "But I think more than everything he really tried to lead us by example. He was a disciplinarian but I could get around it often (laughs). Once in awhile I'd find my way through."

Ivanka: Dad was always accessible growing up

Ivanka also sat down for a lengthier interview with Sean Hannity last night.

A charming young woman. I don’t say that much.

[originalbuckeye]

Classy lady. No piercings outside of the ears. Agree even now. Obviously she was brought up with rules and guidelines. Not so much for Liberals these days. I say ‘Good job, Ivana and Donald! You have children that are the embodiment of the American way of life and the American Dream’.

[drewh]

as VP Pence says, In Indiana, we say ‘you can’t fake good kids.’

[BigEdLB]

Super lady

[Vendome]

I’d let her get away with just about anything...

[gaijin]

[Vendome]

Totally.

I hate tattoos as well...

Here is my wallet, credit cards and secret bank account number with the password....

So SICK of tattoos. We thought it was bad DRESSING like trash!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Ivanka is a sensual powerhouse. She LOOKS part Asian, Swedish, Dutch, Slovenian, American, Australian etc.,, Just about every race except Hispanic. I don't know her blood line but for any man suffering from 'yellow fever' (partial to Asians) she somehow satisfies that taste (so to speak).

My aged hormones tingle when I see her, and it takes A LOT to wake them up. LOL

[relictele]

The polar opposite of Chelsea Clinton in every department.

Guess who the media pretends is more appealing?

[piytar]

Bingo!

[drewh]

you cant beat a good girl with a naughty side!

[CivilWarBrewing]

ALL WOMAN. Megyn Kelly eat your heart out.

[originalbuckeye]

Agree, again. Totally detest tattoos. Particularly black tattoos on white women. It just makes the body part look dirty. And tattoo sleeves? Blech!

[CivilWarBrewing]

[CivilWarBrewing]

Agreed. I don’t have ANY tattoos, and looking around I think I might be in the minority. Perhaps one frilly little ‘tramp stamp’ on Ivanka’s lower back for only her man to see might be acceptable. lol

Got a good feeling Ivanka and Donald hit grand slams tonight.
