Let’s talk about family loyalty and presidential pride. During a cabinet meeting on July 18, President Donald Trump couldn’t help but stick up for his daughter, Ivanka Trump. The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made it clear that he believes Ivanka doesn’t receive the credit she deserves for her accomplishments, all because of one simple reason—her last name. Yep, it’s that famous Trump name that seems to overshadow everything she does.
At the meeting, Ivanka Trump took center stage to discuss a new jobs initiative, among other important topics. And when she wrapped up her presentation, her dad was quick to jump in with praise, highlighting her hard work and dedication. But it wasn’t just about Ivanka’s achievements—it was also about the media’s treatment of her.
“Wow, so if that were Ivanka Smith, the press would say ‘that was totally brilliant, we’ve never seen anything like that,’” Trump says in cabinet meeting.

President Trump pointed out the unfair advantage the media gives others over his daughter. "Wow. So if that were Ivanka 'Smith,' the press would say that was totally brilliant," he joked, emphasizing the double standard. "As Ivanka Trump, they'll say, 'Oh, she was okay.'" With a proud smile, he added, "That was really great, unbelievable." It’s clear that Trump sees his daughter as a powerhouse who deserves more recognition than she often gets.
Donald and Ivanka: A Bond Like No Other
For years, Donald and Ivanka Trump have openly shared their close-knit relationship. In interviews, Ivanka has never shied away from expressing her admiration for her father. At 36 years old, she’s always been vocal about the lessons she’s learned from him. During an interview with El Comercio, Ivanka opened up about her dad’s influence on her life. "My father has taught me to be brave, to think big, and always do what I feel is right," she said with admiration. "He has taught me to stay focused on the work that lies ahead of me and never give up." It’s a father-daughter bond that’s built on mutual respect and admiration.

Perhaps this deep connection is why Ivanka decided to step away from her business responsibilities when her father took office. After Donald won the election, Ivanka announced she would take a formal leave of absence from The Trump Organization and her eponymous apparel and accessories brand. "When my father takes office as the 45th President of the United States of America, I will take a formal leave of absence from The Trump Organization and my eponymous apparel and accessories brand," she explained. "I will no longer be involved with the management or operations of either company." This move allowed her to focus on what truly mattered—her role as a daughter and her passion for certain issues. "I’m going to be a daughter. But I’ve said throughout the campaign that I am very passionate about certain issues. And that I want to fight for them," she added. "So you know there’re a lot of things that I feel deeply, strongly about. But not in a formal administrative capacity." It’s clear that Ivanka and Donald make a powerful team, both personally and professionally.
