at one point, Chelsea Clinton —<br />
persuaded Donald not to overturn<br />
President Barack Obama’s order<br />
protecting the LGBT community<br />
from discrimination in the workplace.<br />
“That was all because of<br />
them,” an insider says of the real<br />
estate scions. “They stood strongly<br />
and told Donald they would not tolerate<br />
that. LGBT rights are a major<br />
priority for them.”<br />
Women’s issues are also huge for<br />
Ivanka, who turned her “Women<br />
Who Work” hashtag into a bestselling<br />
book. She has said she<br />
wants to create a federal paid leave<br />
program, more affordable child<br />
care and a global fund for female<br />
entrepreneurs. And, according to<br />
a family source, “she’s been taking<br />
a lot of meetings to forward issues<br />
she believes in, such as women in<br />
technology and coding.”<br />
Rounding out her list of priorities:<br />
deportation, education and<br />
helping Syrian refugees. The New<br />
York Times reported that the mom<br />
of three recently asked United Nations<br />
ambassador Nikki R. Haley<br />
about getting aid into the country<br />
and — in stark contrast to her<br />
father’s policy banning all Syrian<br />
refugees from entering the United<br />
States — she spoke about<br />
the need to help in an<br />
April interview with<br />
NBC. “I think there is<br />
a global humanitarian<br />
crisis that’s happenin<br />
she said, “and we hav<br />
to come together, an<br />
we have to solve it.”<br />
Her decision to<br />
speak out, like all<br />
her moves, was deli<br />
very intentional ab<br />
gets involved,” says a family<br />
source. “Both she and Jared left<br />
multibillion-dollar businesses<br />
because they want to serve and the<br />
issues they care about are very important<br />
to them.” Echoes the family<br />
insider of the pair: “They represent<br />
more liberal issues and are a necessary<br />
balance in the White House.”<br />
DAUGHTER DEAREST<br />
Not to mention, Ivanka offers<br />
a unique skill set. As Donald’s<br />
beloved daughter, “she’s the person<br />
he listens to more than anyone,”<br />
says an Ivanka friend. And the<br />
expert negotiator knows just how to<br />
work him. “She’s learned to let him<br />
get his outbursts off his chest and<br />
then rationally explain other points<br />
of view,” says the friend. Agrees the<br />
Ivanka source, “That’s the way to<br />
get things accomplished — not by<br />
shouting and screaming.” Instead,<br />
she speaks calmly but<br />
directly. “Where I disagree<br />
with my father, he knows<br />
t,” she told Gayle King<br />
nanApril5interview.<br />
AndIexpressmyselfwith<br />
total candor.”<br />
And should she fail to<br />
bringhimtoherside,she<br />
doesn’t wallow in defeat.<br />
“I’ll go to the mat on certain<br />
issues and I may still lose<br />
those,” she explained to The<br />
The First<br />
Grandkids!<br />
Things got<br />
wild during<br />
a March 26<br />
trip to the<br />
zoo with<br />
her trio.<br />
Ivanka called<br />
meeting the Pope<br />
(in Italy’s Vatican<br />
City May 24) “an<br />
incredible honor.”<br />
l ngthewayI’vemodified<br />
on just slightly. And<br />
ust great.”<br />
