Ivanka Trump took to Twitter to share a message honoring her dad for Father’s Day, and it received a wide range of responses. The post did get thousands of likes, but President Trump’s daughter got a fair amount of pushback from critics as well.
Sunday morning, Ivanka posted a tweet noting that four years ago today, she introduced her father as he first launched his official presidential campaign. She noted that as a result of that campaign, America is forever changed. She also said that thanks to President Trump’s courage, people throughout America are more prosperous and safer.
The photo that Ivanka used in her post showed her father and his wife, Melania Trump, on the floor above her, preparing to come down the escalator that has become an infamous moment of the campaign announcement. Ivanka is photographed from the side, applauding as she looks up at her father.
Four years ago today, I introduced my father @realDonaldTrump [1] when he launched a Campaign that would forever change America.
Because of his courage, Americans are safer and more prosperous…and the best is yet to come!

Some people tweeted out quotes from the infamous Access Hollywood tape that had a recording of Trump speaking about women in a derogatory manner. Others quoted about how the now-president had previously said he’d date Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter, a comment that has been detailed via The Independent.
There were also tweets about families who have been separated at the border due to the Trump administration’s policies, and plenty of other negative notes referring to either Ivanka or the president. A few folks on Twitter kept it simple, using strings of emojis to reflect their feelings about Ivanka’s post.
Take a look:
Your father would rather golf with Lindsey Graham than hang out with any of his five children today.#Priorities [6] #FathersDay [7]

Worst day ever.
He cheated on your mom
He cheated on your step mom
He cheated Atlantic City
He cheated new york
He cheats at golf
He is cheating 10 cities at the moment of over $800,000 in bills to pay the cops who worked overtime to work his rallies.

"I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. I just start kissing them. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
