Ivanka Trump, President Trump's eldest daughter and one of his senior advisers, introduced her father at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, and said he came to Washington not to "win the praise from the Beltway elites," but rather to "make America great again."
The president is a prolific tweeter, who uses the platform to praise and belittle, and Trump said she recognizes that his "communication style is not to everyone's taste, and I know that his tweets can feel a bit unfiltered, but the results speak for themselves." He has "strong convictions," she continued, and "knows what he believes and he says what he thinks. Whether you agree with him or not, you always know where he stands."
