Ivanka Trump says her liberal critics have “unrealistic expectations” of her ability to influence President Trump’s agenda. 

“Some people have created unrealistic expectations of what they expect from me,” she wrote in an email to the Financial Times.

“That my presence in and of itself would carry so much weight with my father that he would abandon his core values and the agenda that the American people voted for when they elected him,” she continued. “It’s not going to happen. To those critics, shy of turning my father into a liberal, I’d be a failure to them.”

Some Democrats have looked to the president’s eldest daughter to moderate his policies.
