Donald Trump tested a few new claims about his daughter Ivanka Trump’s role in his presidential administration during a “fireside chat” with Moms for Liberty on Friday night in Washington D.C.
In a wide-ranging conversation with co-founder Tiffany Justice—which covered transgender rights, Trump’s Scottish heritage, and Elon Musk—the former president claimed Ivanka gave up “making so much money” on her shoe line to take on a serious role in his administration. “It was so hot,” he said about her shoe, clothing, and accessories business, which shuttered in 2018 due to poor sales, NBC News reported.
Trump said he initially wanted to appoint Ivanka as United Nations ambassador, recalling that he told her she “would be a great ambassador to the United Nations, United Nations secretary.” He added, “There’d be nobody to compete with her. She may be my daughter but nobody could have competed with her, with her rat-tat-tat, the whole deal she’s got.”
