Ivanka Trump on Tuesday said that she doesn’t like suggestions that she is her father’s “accomplice” because the “intonation” isn’t “productive.”
Asked by NBC News’ Hallie Jackson to respond to headlines questioning whether she will exert a moderating influence on her father’s agenda or be his “loyal accomplice,” Trump expressed her distaste for the word in an interview for TODAY.
“Well, I don’t like the intonation of that, which, you know, assumes that, I think, you know, I don’t like the word accomplice, because, you know, in this context, I don’t know that that’s productive,” she said.
Trump said that her father “curates ideas and he likes to hear from people with divergent viewpoints.”
“That’s not always true in politics,” she said. “That’s actually seldom true.”
Earlier in April, Trump took issue with critics who say she is “complicit” in her father’s presidency and agenda.
“If being complicit is wanting to, is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit,” she said, coming up with a new definition of the word to apply to herself.

Yeah, “henchperson” sounds so much better.
She is right. “Lock Her Up” is really what we need.
She’s got the same problem as her old man. Can’t talk good.
How about complicit instead?
“Unproductive” or not, it’s still true.
Get used to it, baby, you’re aiding and abetting…and, I sincerely hope, you and the rest of the evil spawn will pay the price.
