Donald Trump is ‘colour blind and gender neutral’ says daughter Ivanka

Donald Trump has faced criticism for his hiring practices and treatment of women in his businesses. But his daughter said his construction sites are “true meritocracies.”

Daughter Ivanka Trump referred to her father as the “people’s nominee” and promised that he would fight for equal pay for women and affordable child care.

The Republican presidential nominee’s eldest daughter outlined priorities often associated with Democrats during her prime-time address Thursday night at the Republican National Convention.

She says motherhood is creating a pay discrepancy for women, but says her father “will fight for equal pay for equal work.”

Ivanka Trump says her father will “focus on making affordable childcare affordable and accessible for all” if elected.

Trump hasn’t addressed child care costs or the gender pay gap so far in his 2016 presidential bid.

She says she doesn’t consider herself a Republican or a Democrat. Sometimes, she says, she has a tough choice picking a presidential candidate. But not this time.

She said: “For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion. And tonight, he is the people’s nominee.”
