The first daughter was asked at an event hosted by Axios earlier in the day if she believed the media is the enemy of the people.
“No, I do not,” Ivanka Trump replied, appearing surprised by the question.
“That’s not a view that is shared in your family,” Axios co-founder Michael Allen responded.

“But no, I do not consider the media the enemy of the people,” she said.
