This is another reason why I will always support Trump. He never needed the presidency- he endured, his family endured hell. God bless them.

I am ashamed how our country's government and the American media treated President Trump and his family. I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that this was possible. What a dark chapter in American history.

I remember at some talkshow the host compared Ivanka to Paris Hilton. She interrupted him and said that she cannot be compared to Paris because unlike Paris she’s been working since she was 14 years old! Amazing family!
