Ivanka Says She And Dad Disagree, But She Won’t Say On What

Ivanka Trump said that she sometimes disagrees with her father, President Trump, but she’s being coy on where the two diverge.

“I give him my open and candid feedback,” she said in a Monday morning interview on “Fox and Friends.” “Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we disagree.”

When pressed to disclose areas of disagreement, she demurred. “We’re different people, so there are areas we disagree.”

Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner are said to be centrist influences within the administration, having failed to persuade her father to remain within the Paris climate accord and having succeeded in quashing executive orders rolling back protections for LGBT Americans.

She has previously declined to chat about disagreements with her father. “Where I disagree with my father, he knows it and I express myself with total candor,” she told ABC in April. “Most of the impact I have over time, most people will not know about it.”

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
