Ivanka Trump, the first daughter and White House adviser to President Donald Trump, told Fox News on Monday that she tries to stay out of politics while contributing positively on issues she cares deeply about.
“I instead focus on areas where I can add positive value, where I can contribute to the agenda,” Ivanka said.

Ivanka Trump was open about having disagreements with her father on certain issues, saying that it “would be a very strange scenario” if people in a family or an administration were in “100 percent alignment” on all issues.

“I think he’s doing an amazing job,” she said, noting that she’s “slightly biased.”

Small business owners across the country feel a renewed sense of optimism and vigor and spirit,” Ivanka Trump added.
