http://www.independent.ie/world-news/north-america/president-trump/ivanka-trump-leads-meeting-at-white-house-in-fathers-absence-35729938.htmlIvanka Trump led a roundtable about human trafficking with members of Congress at the White House, while her father Donald Trump delivered a commencement address to cadets graduating from the US Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut.
The meeting, attended by several Democrats and Republicans including House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy seems to be another sign of Ms Trumps quickly growing role in the administration.
According to the White House pool report, Mr Trumps eldest daughter spoke for two minutes about the Trump administration's efforts to combat human trafficking in the US and worldwide. She noted that next week is Combatting Trafficking and Child Protection Week in Congress, during which lawmakers will present legislation tailored to this issue, the report said.

Trump: The dumbing down of the presidency.
Yes. I am aware her father was not there but it does let you know how brief to be when talking to him. Listen up, NATO - four minutes is too long.
