Ivanka on Twitter
When Donald Trump kicked off his campaign for president back in June 2015, he did so with a few talking points that were repeated for the life of his candidacy and into his presidency. One of those talking points was Trump's apparent love of the United States military and veterans, which he made sure to speak about on a routine basis during his rallies.
Since defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during last November's election, the former host of "The Apprentice" has promised to be "great" for service men and women, as well as veterans when they leave the military. Despite this, Trump's approval rating has dropped to 35 percent as he struggles to keep the promises he made during the campaign. In addition to his own words, Trump has used members of his family and administration to keep his message going, which was seen when Ivanka Trump and Presidential Counsel Kellyanne Conway addressed a group of military members and their families on Tuesday. As seen on her Twitter account on October 3, Ivanka made sure to highlight the meeting.

As a military spouse I couldn’t imagine how either of your experiences would be beneficial or insightful for us

Which email did you use to set this up with Ivanka? She has so many of them!
