Ivanka has been Rump's most prominent supporter.

That makes her and her relationship with her father, fair game. Melania has gone underground, so she's probably not going to be media central. Ivanka needs to confront her childhood trauma, if any, for her psychological survival. BUT, by openly propping up her perverted dad, she will be asked to confront questions about his sick pictures with her. SHE IS A 34 YEAR OLD ADULT, btw.

At least of psychological abuse in that she has witnessed this s#*! along the way and seen it normalized by her father and other men around her. Before it was labeled Stockhom Syndrome bonding with one's capture/abuser was a known phenomenon and a survival mechanism.
She's more to be pitied than censured.

But her perverted dad simply cannot be elected president. She has put herself out there, and WILL face the consequences. I deeply hope she can get in touch with her childhood abuse and get help. But those are issues beyond this election.

Trump would easily destroy her if Ivanka ever shared what exactly happened. Probably a nondisclosure provision in his Will too so she won't talk after he's dead.

It has to be incredibly painful for her already.
