Ivanka Trump was never going to fly under the radar, but her father’s ascent to global buffoon has ensured she is now more closely scrutinised than ever before.

As the Orange Menace continues his meteoric rise to Republican presidential nominee, his daughter has become more closely intertwined with his entire campaign.

Daughters usually stick up for the fathers, but Ivanka has had to do some serious ‘neck on the line’ dirty work.

The Huffington Post piece, titled ‘Is Ivanka for real?’, is a long and fascinating look at the 34-year-old’s life. We’ll just lay the groundwork with a few snippets below:

[Trump] does or says something appalling, and more often than not, Ivanka will attempt to smooth it over. On some occasions, she will tactfully explain what he really meant to say; on others, she lends credibility merely by appearing Instagram-perfect at his side, her grace in inverse proportion to his mania.

More than anyone else in his inner circle, Ivanka is responsible for whatever veneer of decency the Trump operation can claim to possess. As Mike Pence said of Donald at the Republican National Convention: “You can’t fake good kids.” “She’s the daughter everyone wants,” R. Couri Hay, a publicist and longtime friend of the Trump family, told me…

But since the RNC, there have been signs that even Ivanka’s fiercely guarded personal brand is beginning to suffer. A poll published in Cosmopolitan last month found that only 28 percent of women aged 18 to 34 hold a favorable [sic] view of her. An article on Ivanka’s website about “how to make it as an unpaid intern,” which probably would’ve gone unnoticed a year ago, was savaged for being offensively out of touch. More and more, people are growing suspicious of her motives…

Yep, those loose threads may finally be unravelling.
