At Gridiron dinner, Ivanka tries laughs: 'As if being Donald Trump's daughter isn't the hardest job

There were several crucial questions surrounding Saturday night’s Gridiron dinner, that exclusive, annual white-tie gathering hosted by a club made up of Washington’s most elite journalists: First of all, would President Trump turn up?

The answer to that one came early in the evening: Nope, the president wouldn’t attend as he did last year. Instead, his daughter and top White House adviser, Ivanka Trump, gave remarks.

The younger Trump appeared at the Renaissance Hotel before a crowd of about 700 of the city’s swampiest of swamp-dwellers, offering up a few remarks in the spirit of the night, which traditionally features jokey remarks from the president (when he’s in attendance — presidents since Benjamin Harrison have joined in on the 134-year-old tradition), a prominent Democrat and Republican and a slew of skits by the Fourth Estate.

Ivanka Trump, who said her father had asked her just that afternoon to represent him, got a cringeworthy laugh with a line that poked fun at her conservative bona fides — and her notoriously difficult boss/dad. “The press seems to think it’s ironic that I, born of great privilege, think people want to work for what they are given,” she deadpanned. “As if being Donald Trump’s daughter isn’t the hardest job in the world.”

She must have nightmares, like a student who is unprepared for an important assignment due in the morning. X100.
