A successful business leader, entrepreneur, model, and mother… Ivanka Trump is a role model to millions of young women across America.
She is a patriot who has stood by her father, President Donald Trump, and she just made an unexpected announcement: She will now become a federal government employee!
Ivanka’s formal White House role, without pay, will be as an assistant to the president.
This is extraordinary:
“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.
Her official title will be assistant to the president; her husband, Jared Kushner, has the title of senior adviser, and also does not get paid.
In her statement, Ivanka Trump said that “throughout this process I have been working closely and in good faith with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role.”
The White House put out a statement saying it is pleased that Ms. Trump has decided “to take this step in her unprecedented role as First Daughter and in support of the President.”
It added: “Ivanka’s service as an unpaid employee furthers our commitment to ethics, transparency, and compliance and affords her increased opportunities to lead initiatives driving real policy benefits for the American public that would not have been available to her previously.”
Congrats Ivanka Trump!!

Liberals predictably are not happy about Ivanka’s official new role, or her legal statement about ethics. They are unhinged:
Ivanka Trump is saying she’s “voluntarily complying with all ethics rules”.
Again, ethics aren’t voluntary. Republicans don’t get this.

On the plus side, at least Donald will be excited to have some eye candy knocking around the West Wing.

Ivanka Trump’s position will give her the opportunity to provide valuable advice to her father. Trump needs advisors he can trust, and it’s clear that Ivanka has the necessary skills to help implement Trump’s bold conservative agenda.
