Ivanka Trump raised some eyebrows when she spoke about the level of viciousness that she and her family have faced in Washington DC.

She revealed the news on Fox & Friends, saying she was not expecting the intensity of this experience, but it isn’t supposed to be easy, and her father and his administration expects to be transformative.

She thinks some of the distraction and some of the ferocity blindsided her on a personal level, but she’s trying to keep her head down and not listen to the noise and just work really hard to make a positive impact in the lives of many people.

Ivanka also shut down reports that her husband Jared Kushner was involved in scandal… citing a 24-hour news cycle that gets fed by and is encouraged by lots of salacious details.

And in case you were wondering, she also says she goes toe to toe with her father.

A source told Us Weekly that she and Jared are big influences on Donald Trump and sometimes he takes the other opinions into account and does things they disagree with.
