Donald Trump worked closely with his daughter Ivanka Trump at the White House. The former president is reminiscing about his term, revealing that Ivanka worked hard on one thing during his presidency from 2017 to 2021.
During his recent interview with Fox News, Trump revealed that Ivanka drove him "crazy" over the Child Tax Credits. The former president was asked about women's issues and the cost of raising children in the United States.
Trump was asked if there could be changes to be made regarding affordability. "You've never heard of Ivanka, right? Ivanka?" Trump said to a member of the audience who asked the question. "My daughter drove me crazy on this," he admitted.

Then I did it, and I got it just about done. "Dad you've got to double it up,"' he continued, adding that if he became president again he would "readjust things, so it's fair to everybody."

You know those were our credits," Trump said about Ivanka. "I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just — that I just told you about," he concluded.
