Ivanka Trump: Politics, Family, Real Estate, Fashion, Music, and Life | Lex Fridman Podcast #436

What a guest. I walked in and said wow, what a guest!

Didnt expect this one

Overcame the gag reflex and hit play on this one. I am humbled. Media distortion made Ivanka into someone she clearly is NOT. Mega thanks Lex. Keep doing this. We need to see people for who they are and not what big brother wants us to see.

I'm Iranian inside Iran. Her biggest achievement during Trump administration was the report about sex trafficking around the world. In that report, in the Iran's section the role of IRGC and Mullahs in exporting minor girls as sex worker to other countries was so painful. Something we all knew about it in Iran and nobody talked about it ever before. She had the courage to persuit this challenging important issue. Mainstream medias never talked about it. She has my appreciation to end of the world just for this one. And I understand why she doesn't want to involve in politics anymore.

Good lord, the picture the media created for me of her versus the reality. Scary. What a well spoken, intelligent and lovely person.

Every parent would be PROUD to have raised a daughter like Ivanka.

The picture media portrayed of this family vs who they really are is something else.

This woman is the definition of class. Well spoken, clever, strong and independent.. The media are so shit. I'm happy that podcasts like yours have been shinning a light on who this "media" outlets try to obscure.

So beautiful that her grandmother lives with them, and Ivanka takes care of her, someone who takes care of her elders is good family
