Ivanka Trump is confused.
Like all of us, something stirred inside the President’s eldest daughter as she watched Oprah Winfrey’s speech at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
“Time is up,” Winfrey bellowed, for the way men abuse and silence and persecute women. “Time is up,” for the institutionalisation of sexual harassment and rape across industries, the 63-year-old confirmed. ‘Time is up’ for discrimination, inequality, abuse and misconduct.
Following her speech, many celebrities are calling for Winfrey to run for president in the 2020 election – and that’s how we know Ivanka’s confused.
“Just saw Oprah’s empowering and inspiring speech at last night’s Golden Globes,” the 36-year-old tweeted yesterday. “Let’s all come together, women and men, and say TIME IS UP!”

I feel that we should all be tentative of criticizing Ivanka (or Melania for that matter) in regards to Donald Trump, as they are likely two of his victims. We have seen in the media the way Trump has treated Melania, or how he has spoken of his daughter in highly inappropriate and sexual ways. In addition, Ivanka is at least somewhat reliant (probably very reliant) on the fortune that has been provided by her father, and although she wasn't mentioned in this article, we must also be aware that Melania is married to the president of the united states (who has a cult like following which finds no fault in anything he does), is an immigrant, and has no accessible support system (aside from a 10 year old). He exerts very much power over them, and for either of them to speak out against him in anyway could have dire consequences for them.
Regardless, no child should be held responsible for their parent's mistakes. While I certainly do not agree with many of Ivanka's personal choices or business practices, we must acknowledge this.
You can love your parent and not entirely like or support everything they’ve done- i suspect this is what’s unsaid but I believe she understood it. Or she could just be totally clueless....
