Ivanka Trump is going to be a huge deal in Washington. While a federal anti-nepotism law could prevent the 35-year-old from holding an official White House position after her father, Donald, assumes his role as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, “unofficially,” an Ivanka source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, “she will be Donald’s closest adviser.”
Over the course of her father’s successful campaign, the husky-voiced Seventeen cover model turned Trump Organization executive evolved into his most trusted consultant. “He looks to Ivanka for advice and consultation on almost everything,” notes a close Ivanka insider.
That relationship will continue, as the real estate tycoon, 70, assumes his role as commander in chief. While brother Donald Jr., 39, and Eric, 33, remain in New York City to run the Trump business empire, Ivanka is moving to the nation’s capital, where her husband, Jared Kushner, 36, will act as one of Donald’s senior advisers.
The mom of Arabella, 5, Joseph, 3, and Theodore, 9 months, could take a similar role. She announced January 11 that she’s taking a leave of absence from both the Trump Organization and her eponymous apparel and accessories firm. “Donald made the best deal for his daughter,” family friend and Avenue magazine columnist R. Couri Hay tells Us. “The boys get the multibillion-dollar company, and Ivanka gets Washington.”
Along with providing advice, the University of Pennyslvania grad could act as her dad’s buffer. Insiders say the polished businesswoman has a knack for calming her father, infamous for his hot temper and middle-of-the-night Twitter rants. “She balances him out,” explains an Ivanka source. “She learned to keep her mouth shut and just let him get it off his chest. She then rationally explains other points of view.”

She’s already helped her dad craft a policy proposal that seeks to provide paid maternity leave and make child care expenses tax deductible. As she explains to the mag, “In half the country, the cost of child care exceeds the cost of housing.”
With stepmother Melania choosing to reside at the family’s NYC triplex penthouse until half brother Barron, 10, finishes the school year, Ivanka will also assume some first-lady responsibilities. “She will be at State functions,” Hay tells Us. “I think Melania is very happy to share those responsibilities with Ivanka.”
I tried French but kept getting it jumbled with the Spanish I took for 4 years - and have now mostly forgotten.
I don’t really know much about the Trumps and am not a cheerleader. I hope like heck he does the right thing. I’d hate to have to say...well, I guess he’s better than Hillary. Lol
I don’t trust any of them and think we have to be on guard with all of them. Donald Trump included.
But that’s just me.
However as one of the old saying goes, contributed to Bismarck...”By the time you are twenty and you are not a liberal you have no heart. But if you are still a liberal going on thirty you have no brains” Well give her some time to change as she may figure it out yet as in the long run socialism, what liberalism is known for world wide never made the grades in the long run.
Hear hear
But this is US Weekly
Sounds good but reality bites.
Correct. There is a lot of garbage - a lot of it photoshopped fakes. There is absolutely no porn of Ivanka. The only revealing pictures are of her on the fashion walkway with wardrobe mishaps where cleavage was unintentionally revealed, but that happens with many models.
Thank you!
DJT will make Ronnie proud.
I hear ya, can’t argue with facts.
She can tell me what to do :)
Imagine if we were “allowed” to keep what we earn.
That’s what our Founding Fathers not only imagined, but began our country with NO income tax at all.
It is immoral to tax a man’s wages.
It is immoral to further punish citizens by making them pay higher percentages if they are successful. The progressive income tax is a horrendous, immoral concept.
It is even more immoral for a government to use the power of the income tax to shape and mold their citizens behaviors, based upon “rewards”, aka “tax credits”.
DJT calls us to Think Big.
OK, remove their power over us. I want our country restored to the free republic our founding fathers created it to be, with NO INCOME TAX whatsoever.
Thanks for posting this pic of Ivanka and her family.
Most other pictures usually showcase Ivanka on her own, and she takes my breath away. Always.
Your posted pic reminds me that I must obey God’s 10th Commandment: Do not covet another man’s wife! :)
But moochelle is fluent in Ebonics. Barry is interested in learning Austrian.
It will be refreshing to have people with some real intelligence.
And I want to be 30 again.
Neither are gonna happen.
Th ank you.good comment. I read her book, then bought two more copies to give to young ladies. I’m sure she wrote it
erself. Lot of hard work. Smart lady. trust her
All three mothers have done a great job. I believe I read that Marla will be at the inauguration, but I am not sure about Ivanna.
I want taxes reduced on EVERYBODY, and an end to social engineering via tax code.
Good, then you shouldn’t mind these tax cut projections.
Sure glad we agree.
Eye to eye contact. Donald dislikes shaking hands, but I know he did not mind this time.
Do they apply to everybody? No?
Didn't think so.
No agreement, here.
Of course, what I actually favor is to abolish the income tax entirely ...
wasn’t it Churchill who said that?
