Then again, she does have an office in the whitehouse and I assume that she and Jared hopefully have some positive influence over dear ol' dad. Maybe Bannon's influence is stronger.
A bit more on dear, sweet, Ivanka:

Ivanka Trumpâ??s Terrible Book Helps Explain the Trump-Family Ethos - The New Yorker

one excerpt:
For anyone who still finds Ivanka to be a cipher, ?The Trump Card? provides a surprisingly clear indication of her instincts, particularly when she discusses her childhood. She offers a story about being forced, by her mother, to fly coach to the south of France as the moment she realized she needed to make her own money. She has a sour sense of humor: she describes attending the élite prep school Choate Rosemary Hall as an opportunity ?to look at the world from a whole new angle. Even if it meant living in a building named for someone else!?

another telling bit:
"... she and her brothers made fake Native American arrowheads, buried them in the woods, dug them up while playing with their friends, and sold the arrowheads to their friends for five dollars each."

a last thought:
"after Ivanka recalls a boxing match in Atlantic City, in which Mike Tyson knocked out Michael Spinks in ninety-one seconds. The crowd, having paid a lot of money and expecting more action, grew angry. Donald Trump got into the ring to calm them down, impressing his seven-year-old daughter. ?That electric night in Atlantic City made me realize that it isn?t enough to win a transaction,? she writes, all these years later. ?You have to be able to look the other guy in the eye and know that there is value in the deal on the other end, too?unless, of course, you?re a onetime seller and just going for the gold.?"
