What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Ivanka Trump says her father chooses common sense over partisanship. That’s fascinating because, on the one hand, Trump has changed the GOP’s direction on some issues such as trade, but on the other hand, he’s viewed as more conservative than he was during the 2016 election, which reflects a more right-leaning approach than maybe some voters expected.

Ivanka criticized Democrats for not supporting the doubling of the child tax credit, which passed as part of the 2017 tax reform bill. Of course, that’s not the part of the law that Democrats were actually opposed to.

Ivanka has described her father several times in this speech as “the people’s president.” This was a moniker claimed by Andrew Jackson.
