Trump and paid Maternity leave

[Proud liberal 80]

So trump and his daughter hold a briefing in which he lays out his maternity leave proposal and the media eats it up as if it is a new idea? The democrats have been proposing this for years and have always gotten republican resistance. Instead of the media fawning over this plan and gushing all over Ivanka, why don't they point out that it has been the republicans holding up progress on this. His supporters cheer him on too, as if they have not opposed it in the past with comments like

"How will we pay for it"
" What about the deficit"
"Why should I have to pay for this"
"She chose to have a baby"

But we all know those weren't the real reasons they opposed paid leave. It was because it was coming from a Democrat. I have feeling that if trump becomes president that he will adopt a lot of these democratic social policies as his own, and won't get resistance from the republican congress. Everything that they didn't support Obama on, they will then implement because they know that they are good ideas. And unfortunately, the media will give them the credit

1. I heard it mocked on MSNBC.

2. This morning, Ivanka claimed on GMA that HRC chose not to introduce paid maternity leave

when she was in government.

Really?

When she was a senator under George W. Bush and republican Senate?
When she was Secretary of State under Obama?

When exactly could she have drafted a bill, had it introduced, had it voted on, and had it enacted?

That is just a fantasy!
