In another stunning appearance by First Daughter Ivanka Trump, she slammed her father’s critics while remaining poised and classy.
Criticism of the president is an expected part of democracy. But there’s a major difference between constructive criticism and vicious attacks.
Unfortunately, President Donald Trump has been a frequent victim of the latter.
But Ivanka Trump appeared on Fox and Friends Monday morning to speak out about the attacks and her new life as first daughter.
When asked about how she is handling her new role by host Brian Kilmeade, Ivanka responded:
“It is hard. There’s a level of viciousness that I was not expecting. I was not expecting the intensity of this experience.”
“I didn’t expect it to be easy. I think some of the distractions and some of the ferocity I was a little blind-sided by on a personal level.”
With the recently released photo of Kathy Griffin holding a decapitated Trump head and the buzz surrounding a New York play where a Trump-like character is stabbed to death, it’s no surprise that Ivanka would call out the viciousness her family is experiencing.
But her comments were far from complaints, and instead a simple acknowledgement of the criticism and lack of effect it will have on her.
She continued, “I’m trying to keep my head down, not listen to the noise and just work really hard to make a positive impact in the lives of many people.”
While Ivanka took the high-road, shunning her father’s critics by defying their purpose and not allowing them to effect her work, Eric Trump had a different approach.
Trump’s son took a stronger stance then his calm and collected sister, and attacked the critics back with ferocity.
Last week, following Griffin’s photo, Eric told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he’s “never seen hatred like this” and “morals have flown out the window.”
His harshest statement came when he said the vicious critics are “not even people.”
Justifiably upset by the jokes made about the murder of their father, the Trump children are not staying silent.
They are standing up for their father, and most importantly, working with him to ensure he can achieve the promises he made on the campaign trail and improve the lives of all Americans.
