Ivanka Trump Says It’s ‘Inappropriate’ to Speculate She’ll Act as First Lady (Mediaite)

In preparation for the inauguration of President Elect Donald Trump, ABC News spoke to his eldest children for a feature that will air on “20/20” and was previewed on Thursday’s edition of “Good Morning America.” One specific question that was highlighted in the preview deals with something that has been speculated about for months.  Will Ivanka be acting as the effective First Lady, at least while her stepmother is living in New York through the end of her half brother’s school year?

“I think it’s an inappropriate observation,” she told Deborah Roberts. “There’s one First Lady, and she’ll do remarkable things.” In the clips aired Thursday morning, Ivanka also spoke about her mixed emotions with regards to leaving her business behind while her father takes office.

The full segment airs tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET on a special pre-inauguration edition of “20/20” outside of its normal time slot.
