Like many of the most terrible people in history, Donald Trump should never have been allowed to reproduce. Nevertheless, he has famously spawned numerous children, each of whom has inherited some of his specific traits. Don Jr. got his dad’s IQ. Eric got his head for numbers. Tiffany got use of his last name. Barron got tacit acknowledgement that they’re related. And what gift did he bestow upon Ivanka? The answer may surprise you:

At a mid-August fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Ivanka Trump was asked to name the personality traits she inherited most from her parents. Without much of a pause, Trump told the crowd of roughly 120 high-end donors that her mother gave her an example of how to be a powerful, successful woman. And her father? He passed onto her his moral compass, she said, according to two event attendees.

Unsurprisingly, Ivanka was mocked in every corner of the internet for this answer, but to be fair to the president’s favorite child, she’s not wrong! Father and daughter do share a similar sense of right and wrong. Trump has:

Used the office of the presidency to enrich himself;

Lied (and lied and lied some more.

Used the office of the presidency to enrich herself;

Defended her father against charges of racism after he said objectively racist things;

Tried to distract people with shiny objects every time her father has done something terrible

Lied, lied, paused for a hair cut, and lied some more.

Sure, she still has a little way to go before the student becomes the master, but if anyone’s a chip off the ole block, it’s this one.

In her autobiography she recounts, memorably this time she 'thought outside the box & demonstrated her critical thinking abilities.'

She was a child, and she was playing with legos with a family member. She didn't have enough to build what she wanted, so she asked the boy who she was playing with if she could use his legos too. He agreed as long as he got them back. So Ivanka used his legos to build something, but she superglued them all together. "That was the last timmy saw of his legos" she recalled pridefully.

He father, while scolding her, told her that he could never be more proud of her ingenuity.

That's like saying, I got my love of eating from Jeffrey Dahmer.
