Ivanka Trump “Desperately Wants Lower Expectations” Of Her Moderating Influence On White House Policy

The New York Daily News reports:

President Trump left his daughter in the dark when he abruptly tried pulling the plug on allowing transgender men and women in the military. Ivanka Trump witnessed her father’s rash decision-making with the rest of the world — through Twitter — and even it surprised her, according to a Politico report Sunday, citing White House officials.

Trump’s left-field attempt to prohibit trans service members suggests that any influence Ivanka Trump hoped to hold over the President’s policy-making is drastically more limited than anyone expected.

Politico reports President Trump’s daughter “desperately wants to lower expectations of what she can achieve” in the White House and is narrowing her goals within her father’s administration. That report states Ivanka Trump will try limiting her influence to passing a child care tax credit and paid family leave in the GOP-dominated House.
