US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump on her last day in office reflected her time as an adviser to her father, saying that the “last four years have been an incredible journey”.
“It had been the honour of a lifetime to serve our nation as an advisor to the president,” said Ivanka in an Instagram post. She added that she was “proud” of what the outgoing administration had accomplished and is excited about the future.
“I came to Washington to fight for American families and I leave feeling I’ve done that,” said Ivanka.
The first daughter said she believes that “America can move forward in a positive way” by acknowledging the “differences” and finding “common ground”. She added that this is how America will remain the greatest nation.
“The last four years have been an incredible journey. In travelling to nearly every American state and dozens of countries, I fell even more deeply in love with the American people,” said Ivanka, as she thanked everyone for the “love and support”.
“I leave DC in awe of the compassion grace and grit that exists across this nation. These great and strong people have reinforced my abiding faith in America,” said the first daughter.
Ivanka also prayed that God gives “wisdom, courage and strength to President-elect Joseph R Biden, Dr Jill Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala D Harris, Doughlas Emhoff and all of the leaders, judges, officers and officials who devote themselves to service of the public”.
“As Americans we must all pray for their success,” said Ivanka.
