Ivanka Trump made an appeal for her father’s reelection as she introduced President Donald Trump from the South Lawn of the White House.

Unlike her siblings, she used more personal language to describe her father, whom she referred to as “dad” and “grandpa,” and, also, a “warrior.”

“My father has strong convictions. He knows what he believes, and says what he thinks. Whether you agree with him or not, you always know where he stands. I recognize that my dad’s communication style is not to everyone’s taste. And I understand his tweets can feel a bit unfiltered. But the results – the results speak for themselves,” she said.

Trump addressed the coronavirus pandemic as she stood in front of a crowd of more than 1,500 supporters who did not practice social distancing and, for the most part, did not wear masks.

“As our nation endures this grave trial, I pray for the families who are mourning the loss of a loved one, for all those who are battling Covid-19, and for the first responders and the healthcare heroes who remain on the frontlines of this fight. The grief, sorrow and anxiety during this time is felt by us all. I’ve been with my father and seen the pain in his eyes when he receives updates on the lives that have been stolen by this plague. I have witnessed him make some of the most difficult decisions of his life,” noting that she was sitting in the Oval Office when he decided to halt travel to Europe and touting his response.

Trump touted her own accomplishments in her role as a White House adviser, including the child tax credit, part of the 2017 tax package that she championed as part of her White House portfolio. She promoted the Farmers to Families Food Box Program, which she’s taken on with the Department of Agriculture to redistribute crops to families in need. And she highlighted the administration’s efforts to combat human trafficking.

She made some personal references seeking to humanize the President: “My son Joseph promptly built grandpa a Lego replica of the White House. The President still displays it on the mantel in the Oval Office right over there and shows it to world leaders, just so they know he has the greatest grandchildren on earth. I agree,” she said. 

She spoke out in favor of law enforcement, school choice, trade deals and “American greatness.”

Trump closed by praising her father’s style, which she described as “real.”

“Dad, people attack you for being unconventional, but I love you for being real, and I respect you for being effective,” she said.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
