Ivanka Trump walked the stage to the tune of “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John. She went on to deliver an intense defense speech of the president’s record on the merits of policy and sought to soften his image, sometimes against his own behavior.
She described how hard he took the toll of the coronavirus pandemic, despite the fact that the president rarely offers such sympathy in public. She praised Trump as a consensus builder despite his refusal to meet with democratic leaders.
Ivanka Trump claimed that her father had quit Washington, DC, for the better, rattling founding politician and disturbed the status quo.
But Ivanka Trump’s speech was so much about her own role over the last four years. She recounted how the administration has taken over issues such as human trafficking, criminal law reform, and support for working women, all issues she has made a priority.

“Four years ago I had you old, my father would focus on making childcare affordable and accessible,” she added.
