Is Ivanka Trump the new Clinton in the White House?
EVER SINCE Ivanka Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention this summer, people have been confused. Looking cool in one of her trademark sheaths, the daughter of the billionaire regularly pilloried for his sexist behavior talked about working women and their needs. Unease prickled sweaty necks on the convention floor, where applause was polite but restrained. The looks on many faces seemed to say: Did I just hear her say “affordable child care”? Who let a feminazi in here? Lock her up!
The “Who is Ivanka?” question has trailed her since the start of her father’s run for the White House. Is she a Manhattan Democrat bearing the red-state ideological burden just to support her dad? Is she a secret feminist planning to stymie the worst instincts of the old white men huddled in the Oval Office? Does she have her own other agenda? If so, what is it?
After 100 days, Trump remains a cipher. She is a White House power without portfolio, so sure of her goodness she is oblivious to ethics challenges. She even started her own foundation and is soliciting foreign donors. The answer to “Who is Ivanka?” is becoming clear: Let’s review her uncanny similarities with Hillary Clinton.
