KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump share similar attributes
  • Donald Trump praises daughter Ivanka
  • Donald Trump is not a hands-on father

Ivanka Trump shares several attributes with her father, President Donald Trump, according to her husband, Jared Kushner.

Ivanka is one of her father’s advisors. Elaina Plott of The Atlantic spoke with Ivanka’s husband, Jared, and the one comment he was willing to make publicly was regarding the resemblance between the POTUS and the first daughter.

“She’s like her dad in that she’s very good at managing details. Her father is meticulous with details and has a great memory,” Kushner said about his wife. “He really knows how to drive people, and I think she’s the same way—results-oriented and also an excellent communicator.”

In the same interview, the president had nothing but praise for his daughter. He was proud of Ivanka and the millions of jobs she apparently created. Trump said that he had no idea that Ivanka would be that successful.

Trump also hinted that Ivanka could be his heir. The POTUS said that if his daughter ever wanted to run for president, she could probably win because it would be “very, very hard to beat” her.

Several Twitter users also took to the social media platform and expressed that Ivanka is just like her father in terms of their service. But those social media users were referring to the alleged corruption of the first family. One wrote that Ivanka is a “corrupt capitalist con artist” similar to her “horrible” father.

“These people are users who only look out for themselves. Ivanka is her father except with a great deal of plastic surgery and fillers,” one netizen wrote.

Meanwhile, according to Ivanka’s mom Ivana, Trump is a “loving father.” However, he was not the type who would take a stroll and go to Central Park or play basketball with his kids. In fact, he apparently only communicated to their children when they were 18 because it was only at the time when he could talk to them about his business.

Trump also appears to be very proud of his son with Melania, Barron Trump. During his speech at a recent rally, the businessman-turned-politician claimed that Barron is only 13 but could get a bigger crowd than Senator Elizabeth Warren. He also recognized Barron’s capabilities by saying that he had “wonderful potential.”
