The thing is that a President should not engage in nepotism of this nature

However this is Trump and whatever our opinions of Ivanka are, she is seen as a moderating figure.

If her closeness to the President may enact some positive effects, then I think it is for the best.

Some of you keep claiming Ivanka will have some positive impact on her Daddy...Can't you really see what has happned already? Not only have we seen no positive impact but she has never chosen to stand up and condemn her Daddy's vitriolic words and actions (and let’s not forget his outright lies). I see no reason to allow Ivanka to get security clearance and a White House office. Trump is trying to govern the world's most powerful country as though it were his “family business” and it's disturbing.

Ivanka and Jared Kushner are the vehicle of Chinese oligarchs to the White House.
If you think she's just there to play house with her daddy and show nepotism on twitter you're gonna be in for a surprise.

In fairness, most of my thoughts are Zelda-related these days.

Why not. You can be sure she will serve the American people well. A moderate influence to her father can only be beneficial.

Baby-In-Chief needs his daughter to settle him down (errr, "moderate" his child like ego).
