It was a surprisingly blunt and candid chat, with Ivanka being
asked at one point by host Brian Kilmeade if her new role as President
Trump's assistant was harder than she thought it would be at first.
'It is hard. And there is a level of viciousness that I was not expecting,' said Ivanka.
'I
was not expecting the intensity of this experience, but this isn't
supposed to be easy. My father's administration intends to be
transformative, and we want to do big, bold things. We're looking to
change the status quo.'
She then went
on to say: 'So, I didn't expect it to be easy. I think some of the
distractions and some of the ferocity I was a little blind-sided by on a
personal level.'
'They
see the economy and it's just booming. Small businesses have this sense
of just vigor and, you know, I was talking with somebody the other day
who was referring to it as the animal spirit,' said Ivanka.
'Small
business owner has been released. So there is a tremendous energy but
there is also real challenges. And that's what we're looking to
address.'
For her appearance, Ivanka
wore the same exact look she busted out back in July at the republican
National Convention, pairing a $3,000 Alexander McQueen box-pleat sheath
with $900 white agate drop earrings with diamond from her namesake
jewelry collection.
She changed things
up a bit by wearing a pair of her $120 Ivanka Trump suede heels in nude
and a $2,200 mother of pearl ring with diamonds, also from her defunct
high-end jewelry line.
Ivanka also carried a $275 Soho tote in white from her handbag collection on Monday.
