Ivanka Says That Being Donald Trump’s Daughter Is The ‘Hardest Job In the World’

Last year Donald Trump surprised everyone with his decision to attend the annual Gridiron Dinner after skipping it a year before and offered up jokes on themes ranging from his wife Melania “leaving” him to his impeachment.

Ivanka filled in for her father this year at the annual media-hosted dinner on Saturday evening, where she made a joke about working for her dad, The Washington Post reported.

“The press seems to think it’s ironic that I, born of great privilege, think people want to work for what they are given. As if being Donald Trump’s daughter isn’t the hardest job in the world”, Ivanka said.

According to AP, while offering her father’s regrets for not attending the event, Ivanka said, “The opportunity to poke fun at the media is not something he passes up lightly”, and added that for Donald Trump, “every day is a Gridiron Dinner”.

Trump’s reported remark was made in an apparent reference to POTUS’ large-scale crusade against mainstream media, which he describes as “fake news” every now and then.

Ever since the beginning of his presidential term, Trump and the majority of the media have been at loggerheads, with POTUS consistently slamming news outlets for biased and inaccurate coverage of his administration, and branding fake news “the enemy of the people”.

Shortly before the event, Ivanka shared a picture of her wearing a bronze-and-blue candy stripe floor-length dress by Markarian worth $2,750 and with her husband and senior adviser to POTUS Jared Kushner on Twitter as the couple headed to the dinner:

Social media users quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with many slamming Trump’s daughter as spoiled and out of touch:
