Ivanka Trump: observation

Transcript context

…There’s a lot. We’ve talked about a lot of musicians. Who do you enjoy? You mentioned Adele, seeing her perform, hanging out with her. Yeah, I mean, she’s extraordinary. Her voice is unreal. So I find her to be so talented. And she’s so unique in that three year olds love her music. She was actually the first concert Arabella ever went to at Madison Square Garden when she was around four. And 90-year-olds love her music. And that’s pretty rare to have that kind of bandwidth of resonance. So I think she’s so talented. We actually just saw her, I took all three kids in Las Vegas around a month ago.

Nobody had ever shown up at their games or at their plays and clapped for them. And the emotional experience of just being able to give someone that, being able to stand and applaud for someone and how meaningful that was. And she was showing us pictures from these different productions and it was a beautiful moment. Alice actually, after her sentence was commuted and she came out of prison, together, we worked on 23 different pardons or commutations. So the impact of her experience and how she was able to take her opportunity and create that same opportunity for others who were deserving and who she believed in was very beautiful.
