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.”
