Best selling author and business mogul. Ivanka trump is living the
trump life. She did a good job. So i should not say ivanka, youre fired, right . No. I promise. I promise. Born in manhattan, ivanka grew up right in the heart of it all trump tower on fifth avenue.

tonight to present to you and to all of america my father and our next president donald j. Trump. [cheers and applause] and despite her crazy schedule, on the record made a visit to the build she go lives n the heart of midtown manhattan to talk to ivanka trump. Do you read the newspapers and the paper. At this point its almost impossible to Read Everything thats written. I read the papers always in the sense of keeping up with the news. But i try to read the papers less in terms of their editorializing on my father, the campaign, and sort of all the noise. I think ive experienced an extreme biased in terms of coverage and reporting, so i try to distance myself from that and really try to just stay on top of Current Events and make it a little less personal for myself and
read a little less of what i read a little less from news sources about my family and my father, specifically. You know, i have been around politics for quite a long time. So i get to meet all the politicians over the years. Im struck when i meet them in person they are so different than how they are portrayed on television. Even secretary clinton i traveled with her eight times when she was secretary of state. Its amazing how different people are in person. I cant figure out how to correctly portray people. So the only thing i can think of is your father correctly portrayed . Well, i think people is he correctly portrayed in the sense that people know he is very authentic. My father says what he means, and he means what he says. And thats very rare in politics. But, he is incorrectly portrayed, often, by the media my father is incredibly warm and
compassionate and loyal and funny. Anyone who knows him knows that to be true. Thats actually what is not portrayed. You see the strengths. You see the determination. You see the fact that he is tireless in terms of his energy. But i dont think you see that more compassionate side of him as certainly not in the way Mainstream Media portrays him. I know that side of him. I am his daughter. His employees know that side of him but i dont think thats portrayed to the American People. But i think thats, you know, one of the Amazing Things about this election cycle is that my father has the ability to bypass that narrative and go to the people with his message and he is doing that whether its the arenas is he filling or his use of social media as a way to communicate directly in an unhe had dieted way. Thats been incredibly powerful for him. I have had a private conversation with him not much of one but when i have had interviews with him we have talked a few minutes after. I always think he is different in person. So different in person than when cameras roll for anybody in this business. If you speak to anyone who knows him they adore him and appreciate him and know all the attributes i relayed a minute ago to be true about him. But, so i you know, i think that thats the side that you dont see in terms of his public portrayal. I also think sorry, i also think that the media to highlight and showcase his discuss as an entrepreneur, as an employer, as a business builder. Maybe thats why a lot of people in the private sector dont run for public office. You know, its easy to tear
somebody down or attempt to. He has created jobs for for tens of thousands of people. We have a thriving Global Company and brand. We have almost no debt and own some of the most important and iconic assets anywhere in the world. So, and his career has spanned many decades and he is today stronger and our Company Stronger than its ever been. Thats a great accomplishment. I think its hard for me being in the business to see the media not appreciate that fact and focus on circumstances 30 years ago during recession and highlight those examples and not illustrate the company we have today that was built on his vision, his strength and his leadership. Your father is very active on social media. Your thoughts on twitter. Its gotten him in to some
hot water. Twitter has gotten him into water once in a while. Not what he writes but what he retweets. He says he is going to do that less frequently. Who got him on twitter . Has he always been on twitter . He has been on twitter several years now. And to see the growth of facebook channels and other social Media Channels has been amazing. Its also been a very valuable tool for his campaign because it allows him to bring his message unfiltered, unedited directly to the people that he is speaking to. So its giving him a voice that isnt controlled just by the media. It allows him to communicate directly, and i think been enormously valuable. Its been very effective in terms of marketing and getting his word out sometimes he has made blunders. Do you give him hell when osays things that you think
might go a little too far . You know, he is on the road all the time. He is not shy about talking to the media. I is not afraid. If you ask him a question he will answer. A lot of people hide behind their campaigns and organizations and try to avoid putting themselves in positions where they are asked difficult questions. He doesnt do that. So he doesnt he wants to be honest with the American People. Hens them to know who he is. He wants to communicate freely. And he does that he has done that on social media and its been effective for them. What about the problems . That happens. But i think that people recognize that i think the authenticity of that balances out the times, you know, occasionally it goes awry. A lot of politicians campaigns they dont write their tweets; they are managed by a team 50
people who are testing and polling every word. Thats not him. Thats not the leader he wants to be. And ivanka isnt the only super star in the family. Heres Melania Trump. Shes an incredible woman. Shes an incredible mother. She loves her son barron so much. And just really something special. Take a look at Melania Trump, a former slovenian model, a success business woman and married to president ial candidate donald trump. When you talking, he will punch back 10 times harder. In 1996 melania moved to new york city an immigrant from slovenia to speaks five languages. In new york she launched a modeling career and before long met her future husband real estate mogul donald trump. We met at a fashion
party. In new york, she launches a successful line on qvc and shows up on the cover of numerous magazines, even vogue. Whats next on her resume . Well, it could be first plead. She will make an unbelievable first lady. He is a fighter. And if you elect him to be your president , he will fight for you and our country. On the record got inside access to melania and donalds luxury pentagon how the on top floor of trump tower. What does melania think about the campaign levee . Is the media fair to your husband . Not always. Not always. In what way . Theyre not fair to me, too. In what way . They say stuff thats not true. They dont say the truth. They write stuff that they dont want to give him credit. They dont want to say how smart he is. What he will is do, what he will accomplish. Why . Why do you think that . Bawsms mane because is he outsider. He is not part of washington. He speaks his mind. He doesnt sweep under the record. He says as he thinks and what needs to be say. Because he is not a politician. He is not in to just talking. He is a doer. He gets the thing done. You got married down in florida . Yes. In palm beach, in the Church Secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the president was there . Yes. They were there. What do you think about that . That. Was different time. 2006. Was different time. We were private citizens. He was not running for the office. As he said, he was friends and got along with many,
many people so i dont see anything wrong with that. Have you ever socialized with them besides the wedding in the clintons . No, no. You have to see, this Melania Trump takes you okay a grand tour of her luxury penthouse in new york city. Straight ahead. A mother, a successful business woman hand she is helping her father on the campaign trail. What is the day in the life of ivanka trump . She will tell you. Thats next. My father is is dedicating himself to something really bigger and more important which is the future of this country. Where we explore. Protecting biodiversity. Everywhere we work. Defeating malaria. Improving energy efficiency. Developing more clean burning natural gas. My job . My job at exxonmobil . Turning algae into biofuels. Reducing Energy Poverty in the developing world. Making cars go further with less. Fueling the global economy. And you thought we just made the gas. Energy lives here. Im claudine and i quit smoking with chantix. Smokings a monkey on my back. It was, it was always controlling your time, your actions, your money. It had me. It had me. I would not be a nonsmoker today if it wasnt for chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms
of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. Its me in control now. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. She is raising three children, holds two fulltime jobs and her father is run for president. How does ivanka trump do it all . All right. Tell me your day. You are a mother, youre a wife, youre a business woman. Youre in a campaign. What time do you wake up in the morning . Early. Earlier and earlier. So tell me . I have three children now all under the age of 5. And my youngest is four months old. With each child i think i wake up around 30 minutes earlier. So now im at like the 5 00 mark. Thats it. There is a line in the sand. But so i wake up at around a chock and i also wake up numerous times beforehand because obviously my 4 month old is not sleeping from 7 p. M. Until that point in time. I dont sleep very often anymore. I try to wake up and get
myself fully ready for the day before my kids wake up. My oldest, my 5yearold and 2 and a halfyearold will normally wake up between 6 30 and 7 00. I like to shower, exercise on the days that i do that during the week, read the newspapers, really shor sort of take that time for myself and be fully ready to roll, when my kids wake up can i have focused dedicated time with them before i drop them off at school or drop them off to the bus and start my day. What time do you walk out the door usually . It depends. It depends on the time of rear when School Starts or camp starts. Normally around 7 45, 8 00. What time do you walk back in the house usually at night . I always make it home for well, not always but 95 of the time i make it home for dinner. So i like to be home by 6 30. I have dinner with the kids. I bathe them. I read books to them. And i put them to bed. I try to put them to bed
between 7 30 and 8 00. And then i get back to work. Back to work with phone calls, emails . So basically my time in the office, because i like to be home in the evenings and because i prioritize sort of the tales of the day with my children but morning and evening. I try make my time in the office productive and i dont do things there that i can do. Its infrequent i return emails. I take meetings. I walk around the office and interact with people. So i really spend my my time in the office having more sort of interpersonal moments and then i spent my time very late at night responding to emails and dealing with logistics, obviously having three kids thats the stuff that keeps me up at night all the logistics of managing their lives as opposed to my own. You have a brand though,
right . I do. When too you work on your brand . I think about how i balance my work at the Trump Organization and the company i have built. Exph is really an amazing business and im deeply passionate about, so i think about the balance of those two things based on priorization and where i need to be in a given moment. Sometimes when were finishing up construction at the Old Post Office building that requires incredible focus and attention. Other times ill have moments where im more focused on my brand and building that business. I think its the same as being a parent, you know, you just try to navigate and be where you need to be when you need to be there. Lets fold in the campaign. I mean, i assume you work on the campaign as well, right . Im a daughter. I guess im certainly around the campaign. I have no official role within the campaign. Get phone calls from your
father . Well, one from my father, of course, yeah. How many phone calls do you get from your father. Quite a lot. I will call him a lot. He will call me a lot. We are in the habit of this because we worked together for 10 years plus at the Trump Organization and we would speak. I used to be able just walk in his Office Multiple times a day. Now he is traveling so much for the campaign and traveling all over the country. So we end up speaking a lot more telephonically. We spend a lot of time on the weekends in new jersey. So we see each other all the time. We are incredibly close. And no one knows donald trump better than his wife melania and daughter ivanka. Whats it like to live the trump life . Ivanka and melania go on the record to talk about life inside trump tower. Thats next. I have asthma. One of many pieces wbr id wbr13227 in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an wbr id wbr13525 inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. b
breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.
