Ivanka Trump

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, was a key advisor to his presidential campaign and the top contributor to his election as president. She was a regular sight during his campaign instead of Melania Trump who rarely made public appearance. Mr. Trump called her three times a day and asked for her advice when she could not be with him because she was pregnant.

Ivanka played a critical role during her father's presidential campaign. She persuaded him to dismiss his campaign manager who caused problems including violence. She was highlighted with an emotional speech in the Republican National Convention in July. She contributed to mitigate Mr. Trump’s negative image such as racism and misogyny. He is said to recognize Ivanka as his strong advisor and cherish her most among his five children.

According to "7 Things You Should Know about Ivanka Trump" by the Cosmopolitan, she grew up in the spotlight. She is an heir to a real estate fortune and built her own fashion business. Her business, which was sluggish for a while, is flourishing after her father’s election as the next U.S. president. The former model with a perfect body shape graduated from Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. She converted to Jewish prior to marrying her husband Jared Kushner, and have two sons and one daughter. She is also interested in educating her children. She posted a video in which her five-year-old daughter recites a Chinese poem in a Chinese costume on Instagram.

There was controversy over cronyism after Mr. Trump nominates Ivanka and her husband along with two sons as members of his transition team. As four out of 16 team members are his family, it is no exaggeration to say that he threw a family party. In the past, Ivanka said she would not be in the administration. Politico magazine said that she will serve as an all-around advisor behind the scenes without an official title. It seems to be a matter of time for the president’s daughter with beauty, brains and talent will be the powerful advisor in the White House, regardless of whether she takes an official post or not.
