By Robin Givhan June 24 Follow @RobinGivhan Ivanka Trump at her father’s news conference at Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland Friday. (Carlo Allegri/Reuters) It is not often that foreign publications wade into the thicket of an American presidential election and accuse a candidate of misogyny and hate speech. It is even rarer for a foreign fashion magazine to do so. But for its July issue, the editor-in-chief of the Mexican and Latin American edition of Marie Claire has climbed atop her glossy soap box with a cover story directed at Ivanka Trump — and, obliquely, her father, the presumptive Republican nominee.

In bold cover type, the magazine pleads: “Dear Ivanka: How long will you defend your father?” And in a series of essays inside, its writers beg: Do something. Talk to him. Stop him. Trump did not pose for the cover photograph. It is an artful collage that depicts her as a cross between a beauty queen and benevolent goddess with bare shoulders and glittering floral earrings. In the background, the Statue of Liberty peers over her shoulder, white stars explode against a blue sky and blush-colored peonies are in full bloom, nestled against her cheek. Ivanka Trump on the cover of the Mexican and Latin American edition of Marie Claire There is nothing about the cover that speaks of harsh rhetoric. And while almost all the letters appeal to her position of clout within the Trump empire, there are no visual hints of her as a business person. Indeed, there is just enough fabric visible along her torso to assure readers that she isn’t actually naked. But the letters inside are often filled with barely contained fury. “It has never been my goal to attack, judge or question other women.

Furthermore, when talking about polemic and controversial topics, generally I would rather stay neutral, with an objective point of view, and if I can’t make that happen, at least to be moderate,” writes editor Daniela Von Wobeser in her opening letter to readers. “I’d like to ask you, from the bottom of my heart, if supporting your dad’s strategy is the best thing for you, as woman or the best for your country and, consequently, mine.” [Melania Trump: From professional pretty person to potential first lady] “Dear Ivanka, do you think your father would be the leader America deserves? Do you think the values your dad promotes are the ones you want. . . your three children” to inherit? Von Wobeser continues. “I understand no one chooses their parents, but sooner or later we have to understand that being a father does not excludes you from human degradation and, therefore, it’s [up to] us, their children, to [break] from them when [they] voluntarily choose that path, or. . . be doomed to live the same destiny.” President-elect Donald Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka, was often by his side on the campaign trail and could play an influential role in his administration.

Here's what you might not already know about her.

(Courtesy Marie Claire Mexico and Latin America) The issue includes letters from journalists, academics and artists, all of them Latin American, some of them living and working in the United States. They attempt to appeal to Trump as a mother, as a business woman, as an educated woman, as someone who, having converted to Judaism, might have particular insight into the history of religious persecution and how it festers and grows. “I’m sure you’ve heard this abominable story of survival and horror countless times, possibly during your weekly shabbat dinners, or perhaps during Pesach (Jewish Easter), that you and your descendants must never forget,” writes Lorenza Amigo, who describes herself as a Mexican-born freelance writer and housewife living in Chicago. “Don’t you think that Trump’s comparison to Hitler, made several times in media, is enough to raise a red flag?

Do you want to be part of this hate campaign, to be remembered in history as that hypocrite who preferred to overlook and allow such atrocity?” Writer Lorenza Amigo asked Ivanka Trump to be sensitive to the history of religious persecution. (Courtesy Marie Claire Mexico and Latin America) Fashion magazines have long addressed social and cultural concerns within their own borders and even beyond them. Von Wobeser reminds her readers that one of the founders of Marie Claire France, which was first published in 1937, was involved in petitioning the Vatican to reconsider its stance on contraception. Helen Gurley Brown, who was editor of Cosmopolitan from 1965-1997, was instrumental in introducing blunt talk about sex and sexuality into women’s magazines. Glamour uses its annual Women of the Year awards and accompanying issue to consider the struggles faced and overcome by women around the world. And Elle and Vogue both delve into issues related to human rights and gender equality. On the subject of national politics, however, fashion magazines tend to stick to writing admiringly about local candidates — or at least neutrally.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour, for instance, has made no secret of her personal support for the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton — but the magazine has also showcased Republican women — from Sarah Palin to Cindy McCain — through a flattering lens. Marie Claire presumes Ivanka Trump has the power of persuasion over her father Donald. (Clodagh Kilcoyne/Reuters) Partisanship, after all, can lose a magazine readers. But Trump — and outrage — may be good for circulation. For the first time, this edition of Marie Claire has jumped into U.S. politics. The magazine set its sights on Ivanka Trump, not simply because she has the ear of a candidate who has been antagonistic towards immigrants — particularly Mexicans — but also because of her independence. [Donald Trump’s false comments connecting Mexican immigrants and crime] “If your dad wins the elections (and I say this with fear in my words), you will be the closest thing America will have as a First Lady. I’m sure you have thought about it. We know Melania, your stepmother, hasn’t been an active member on your father’s campaign,” Von Wobeser writer.

“If he gets to be the next president of the United States of America, you will most probably be the closest woman to him, just like you have been on the professional side” The Mexico and Latin America edition of Marie Claire characterizes Melania Trump as a wife with little sway over her husband. (Mary Altaffer/AP) The magazine makes no bones that it views Melania Trump as a “trophy” wife who serves at the whims of her husband. Thus, she is in no position to challenge him or his beliefs. The letter writers’ emotions range from blunt anger to dismay to desperation. They are also taking a leap of faith. They are presuming that while Ivanka’s heart may be with her father, her head is nodding in agreement with them. lifestyle Marie Claire Australia awarded once again.

ASAP Rocky and Boy George Star in Dior Homme's New Campaign Irina Shayk Lands Two Vogue Brazil Covers Hi There from Karen Walker Club Monaco Visit website About Marie Claire is a monthly women's magazine conceived in France but also distributed in other countries with editions specific to them and in their languages. While each country shares its own special voice with its audience, the United States edition focuses on women around the world and several worldwide issues. The magazine also provides the reader with health, beauty, and fashion information in each issue. Readers can subscribe to it through the mail and online. The reality series, Running In Heels, follows three interns working in the NYC office of the magazine. Jean Prouvost created the first issue in 1937, which was distributed each Wednesday. French readers flocked to newsstands to buy this early weekly edition, which was a huge success. However, in 1942, German occupation authorities in France stopped the distribution of most magazines, and Marie Claire was one of them. The magazine was not redistributed until 1954. At this time, it became a monthly publication versus a weekly one.

In 1976, Prouvost retired and his daughter ï¿½velyne took over the magazine and added L'Orï¿½al Group to the company. The theme for Marie Claire is ï¿½More than a Pretty Faceï¿½. The magazine gives readers information about different women around the world and their needs, struggles, and stories of life. The goal of the magazine is to provide readers with a substantial amount of information about new looks in the fashion industry as well as current issues that women of the world are facing. Moreover, it also adds relationship information, along with a section dedicated to answering specific questions from readers. It provides information pertaining to different items of clothing and accessories, as well as which would be a better deal. Each month recognizes a particular female celebrity by placing her on the cover of the magazine and featuring her in a main article, along with providing monthly horoscope.

Formed in 2005 by the former directors of Paragon , which was sold to Highbury in 2003 for £32m. The company is backed by venture capitalists and corporate financiers. Imagine originally aimed for a quality feel to appeal to older, more experienced computer users. By late 2008, it ran 20 magazines and 23 websites covering videogames, computing, entertainment and photography. Launches included SciFi Now, Digital Camera Essentials and High Definition Review. In December, Imagine established a motoring division by buying Porsche monthly Total 911 from 9 Publishing. In mid 2009 it launched a gaming portal, NowGamer.com.

IPC Media ( Time Inc UK since 2014) Back to top Second-largest UK consumer publisher, with about 22% of the market (lost prime position to Bauer, which took over Emap in 2008). Has history page. In November 2009, the company underwent a restructuring, with just three divisions covering men, mass-market women and upmarket women. In April 2010, it set out to review its 80 specialist titles, which was seen as a forerunner to selling some smaller titles. Four months later, it sold the iconic lad's magazine Loaded to Vitality Publishing , publisher of gay lifestyle title Attitude, though doubts were raised as to whether Vitality had the resources to revive the struggling lads' mag.

Other titles IPC sold included: Cage & Aviary Bird, Aeroplane , MiniWorld, Ships Monthly and Park Home & Holiday Caravan – to Kelsey ; Classic Boat to Chelsea ;. Late 2006 and early 2007 saw a focus on websites: Now ; whatsontv.co.uk ; InStyle ; a homes portal, to add to three existing homes websites based on specific titles; and the appointment of several digital executives. The International Publishing Corporation Ltd was formed in 1963 by the merger of Britain's three largest magazine publishers: Newnes, Odhams and Fleetway (Amalgamated) under the ownership of Reed International, a conglomerate with its roots in paper-making. Five years later, this became IPC Magazines. It was known in the industry as the 'Ministry of Magazines' but its core weekly titles - including Woman, Woman's Own and Tit-Bits - saw big sales declines in the 1960s and again in the 1970s, with steady declines inbetween and since. For example, Woman fell from almost 3m sales a week in 1958 to a tenth of that in 2010.

After being spun off by Reed, IPC fell into the hands of venturer capitalists and it was sold on to US media group Time Warner in 2001. IPC was renamed Time Inc UK in 2014 after Time Inc was spun off from Time Warner. In May 2015, Time Inc, announced that it was putting its London office - the Blue Fin building just south of Tate Modern - up for sale at an estimated £450 million, supposedly cashing in on the 'frothy' property market. However, First-quarter revenues had fallen 9% to $680 million, partly because of sterling's weakness, as Time Inc made a net loss of $9 million. It occupies about half of the 500,000 sq ft building. IPC moved out of the 30-floor King's Reach Tower, which is had occupied since 1972, into the purpose-built Blue Fin in 2007. King's Reach was renamed South Bank Tower in 2013 and is having 11 floors added to turn it into flats. IPC's position 2000-15 June 2015 'Iconic media brands.

Content built on amazing relationships and inspired conversations with millions of consumers.' 'Over 60 iconic media brands that captivate and inspire millions of people every day across print, online, mobile, tablets and experiences' 'We engage with almost half of all UK adults in print and our award winning [sic] websites reach over 28 million global users every month.'

Formed in December 1997 by management buyout from Reed worth £860m, which was funded by Cinven venture capital.

Invested £25m to launch big web initiative IPC Electric at end of 1999, including women's portal Beme (closed 2001). Major extension of branded goods during 1999 to Mizz and Home & Gardens. Company divided into limited companies.

Formed strategic alliance with South African publisher Caxton, allowing the latter to use IPC content from 14 titles. Future seen to rely on international and digital strategies. Women's weeklies under pressure from celebrity launches and newspaper supplements aimed at women, such as the Mail's You and the Mirror's M launched in October 1999. Female managing director Sly Bailey took over October 1999 but left in 2003 to head up Trinity Mirror newspaper group. Led focus on brands and 'media neutral' publishing. Relaunched 1960s iconic fashion magazine Nova in May 2000 - but it closed a year later. Part of the failure for this blamed on Cinven preparing the company for sale. Jeremy Langmead, brought in to relaunch Nova, said in a 2003 interview: ' ...they were getting ready to sell. And they needed a tidy bottom line.' IPC changed face of men's magazine's worldwide with Loaded in 1994, only to see its sales eclipsed by Emap's FHM a couple of years later. Corporate website has data on titles.

Major launch Beme for women was based on six moods or channels: news (provided by Press Association); consumer; home life; culture & trends; entertainment; and My Beme (careers, advice, etc). High profile marketing included £1.5m sponsorship of US series Ally McBeal on Channel 4. Also promoted through CD-Roms on covers of women's monthlies (eg March 2000 Essentials).

It is based in Orpington, Kent. In July 2006, it was bought by Exponent Private Equity and in August that year, it moved into magazines, buying up Encanta Media (the company formed from nine specialist interest titles that were sold off when Highbury House collapsed). Magicalia calls itself a ‘cross-media publisher’ and ran 45 websites by 2008 – some for other publishers - covering topics such as mountain biking, golf, surfing, gardening and parenthood. In a Financial Times interview (December 2006), Peter Harkness (who had led Encanta) was unashamed about the extreme specialisation of Magicalia's consumer magazines and websites. ‘You've heard of B2B. Well, this is G2G,’ he said.

‘That's geek to geek.’ The article added: ‘Magicalia has an acquisition fund from Exponent in the region of £100m. It has just agreed to acquire a group of magazines for more than £10m and made a "modest" deal for two leisure magazines predicted to add £2.5m in sales.’ The company's deals include: Practical Parenting from IPC in January 2008; Junior, Junior Pregnancy and Baby, and Pregnacy, Baby and You from Future in July 2007 (it already owned thinkbaby.co.uk ); Good Woodworking from Future Publishing (April 2007); Two Wheels Only from Haymarket (in January 2007) and Visordown.com , a motorcycling community website set up in 2000 (bought in April 2007).

In January 2011, Hearst agreed to pay £559m to buy the Hachette Filipacchi magazine division (Elle, Marie Claire editions worldwide) from French group Lagardere and merged the UK arm into NatMags. Was also known as NatMags or NatMag. National Magazines was set up in 1910. Its website has links to facts and descriptions of all its magazines. In 2009, NatMags was voted the second-greenest company in the UK by the Sunday Times (it has beehives on the roof).

NatMags has 14 titles and three joint venture companies: NatMag Rodale Ltd : equal joint venture with US group Rodale to publish Men's Health, Runner's World under a long-term licence along with their websites and Fetcheveryone.com; ACP-Nat Mag : in March 2008, NatMags bought Australia's ACP out of the UK joint venture set up in December 2004 to publish women's weeklies (Best, Reveal and later Real People). NatMags had taken over Gruner & Jahr 's UK portfolio in July 2000; Comag: distribution company formed in 1977 between The National Magazine Company and Condé Nast Publications. NatMag also owns the Hearst Digital Network, which publishes websites such as Handbag.com and Netdoctor.com. NatMags is best known for women's monthlies Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping. The former was for many years the UK's best-seller, but NatMags failed to halt the rise of Condé Nast's Glamour, and in fact copied Glamour's 'handbag' format for Cosmopolitan.

NatMags tried to establish a new publishing model for digital magazines with Jellyfish launched in 2007. Initially, this was focused on the upper teen market served by Cosmo Girl!, but when the magazine closed in June 2007, the digital switched its target market to 18-24-year-olds. Jellyfish itself soon closed. Coast . Quarterly aimed at owners, or would-be owners, of houses near the sea Company (1978).

Titles were both then fortnightly House Beautiful UK version of US title Jellyfish (closed): free weekly digital magazine for registered readers launched in early 2007 (see also Monkey from Dennis ). Initially for teenage girls aged 11 to 19, then older 18-24 market. (Known internally as Project Celia). The 'magazine' was sent electronically every Tuesday to people who sign up. Celia Duncan was the editor. Viral marketing and advertising in other NatMags titles were used to promote the title. Jellyfish used Ceros technology from Applecart, a UK e-publishing consultancy, to give the appearance of pages being turned over (also used by Emap for Digital Living and for Dennis Publishing's Monkey ). Dennis uses the term 'eMag' for Monkey.

Jellyfish focused on fast fashion, celebrity videos and postings from readers, with most of the content drawn from websites. Products on the fashion and shopping pages could be bought online using a click-and-buy system. As the website said, 'If it moves, click on it.' She (M): 1955 launch Zest (M) : Started as a band-on to Cosmo. Initially a quarterly. Went monthly in April 1996. In 1997, became a masthead TV programme.

It is also a newspaper publisher and broadcaster; syndication company includes rights to Hagar the Horrible. Hearst owns a quarter of women’s portal iVillage since the latter bought rival Women.com, along with HomeArts.com, in 2001. Hearst has many versions of its magazines internationally (Cosmo is published in more than 30 countries from France to Indonesia).

Imported Glenda Bailey, editor of UK Marie Claire (a title owned by Hachette of France and published with IPC in the UK), for US launch of the title. Hearst joined with film group Miramax to launch high profile monthly Talk in September 1999 with Tina Brown as editor. Brown, with her husband Harold Evans, were leading members of British contingent in New York. After a successful career in London on Vogue, she went on to revive Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. Talk closed in 2001. Brown revived links with Conde Nast, taking on editorial advisory board role for their contract launch Tate. News Magazines Ltd Back to top News Magazines is the consumer magazine division of Rupert Murdoch's UK publishing arm, News International . The division was set up in 2005 with a brief to capitalise on the growing market for weeklies - the group's Sun daily has lost readers to the weekly lad's magazines Zoo and Nuts. NI already had two monthly spin-offs from the Sunday Times newspaper: Travel (a contract title by River since 1993) and Inside Out (though this 2006 launch closed in 2007).

The women's weekly Love It! mixes celebrity with real life stories. It was the first launch by News Magazines in February 2006. The company was reported to be developing another weekly for launch in early 2007 under former Hello! editor Maria Trkulja. However, this - and a rumoured news magazine called Spectrum - have both gone quiet since the division won the contract to publish Sky for its sister company BSkyB. The company has a website but all it carries are the terms and conditions for advertising in the magazines. Contact: News Magazines, 2 Chelsea Manor, Chelsea, London SW3 5PN.

Images courtesy of site visitor Dorothy Nixon Today anyone interested in fashion is well aware of the magazine Marie Claire.

It's not been around in UK anything like as long as in some other countries. At a guess I think its been on UK newsagent shelves for about 25 years. I certainly recall it in the early 1980s. Marcelle Auclair co-founded the magazine Marie Claire. Dorothy Nixon has done extensive research on Auclair since all her books including autobiography are available in French, where Dorothy lives in Montreal. Dorothy wrote to tell me about Marie Claire and the co-founder. She went on to tell me that ... <<... Marie Claire Magazine today doesn't give Auclair ANY credit, but it could be said she created with Jean Prouvost, the modern women's magazine format - and according to Marcelle Auclair, the idea was hers in the first place. >> Dorothy wrote and read out an essay on Marcelle Auclair for Canadian CBC. Here is the story she told me... <<Marcelle Auclair got the job working for Prouvost (writing a beauty column) because Collette didn't meet her deadline. According to her autobiography she was the one who proposed a women's weekly to Prouvost who only agreed when she offered the idea elsewhere.

She and Prouvost visited the USA because she wanted Marie Claire to combine American Style features, with French Fashion Sense. The Magazine became an instant sensation. Lore has it they had to bring police in to keep women from overrunning kiosks each Wednesday in Paris. Auclair wrote ALL the features in first 12 or so magazines, eventually keeping beauty and health. She and her husband writer and editor Jean Prevost were athletic, hence all the modern looking exercise features. They hobnobbed with St. Exupery and mingled with Sartre and de Beauvoir (whom she describes as a couple even poorer than her.) ...(v4r) A woman who was comfortable in a man's world, Auclair admits Prevost abused her during their relationship, especially when she was editing Marie Claire. She divorced him. They had three children, one of whom was a movie star, Francoise Prevost. He died working for the resistance during the war. She was raised in Chile, born in France, Auclair wrote the definitive biography of St. Theresa of Avila and of other people and a lot of new age books about happiness Livre de Bonheur, which are still in print.

Her editorials all have a new Age slant, she was into yoga and meditation in the 30's! She says she read every letter sent to Marie Claire for the advice column. Some of the advice she doled out was ironic, considering the state of her marriage. I believe she died in 1980.>> Dorothy told me in another email that she liked the Auclair story and continued that... <<.... because Marie Claire is still around and I believe, although I am not certain, that Prouvost's granddaughter still owns a lot of the French one. And on their website they mention nothing of Auclair as if Prouvost did it all himself. (He was indeed active in the publication... He also chose the name. Marie Claire was a novel, I believe. The magazine also features a number of stories by Academie Francaise writers, friends of Auclair. I once contacted a grandson of Auclair, who is much more interested in mounting a documentary about his father.... He was perplexed about why Marie Claire didn't acknowledge her contribution. Plenty of people on the web do.

I'm interested because she was such an intellectual, first rate journalist, but she said her favourite kind of writing was beauty writing. I think someone should make a movie about this couple, their story has all the elements. By the way, Francoise Prevost was a NEW WAVE actress; I temporarily forgot the name of the genre.... >> My sincere thanks to Dorothy Nixon for this information and use of the lovely images she collects.

Ω A fashion magazine is taking a stand against Donald Trump – with a plea to Ivanka | Miami Herald June 24, 2016 9:20 PM A fashion magazine is taking a stand against Donald Trump – with a plea to Ivanka On its cover, the Mexican and Latin American edition of Marie Claire pleads: ‘Dear Ivanka. When will you protect us from your father?’ Inside are letters from journalists, academics and artists, all of them Latin American, some of them living and working in the US The writers of the series of essays in the July issue beg his daughter: Do something. Talk to him. Stop him. Ivanka Trump, daughter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, founder and CEO of the Ivanka Trump Collection, and executive vice president Development and Acquisitions The Trump Organization, speaks at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington on Oct. 14, 2015. Carolyn Kaster AP i Order Reprint of this Story It is not often that foreign publications wade into the thicket of an American presidential election and accuse a candidate of misogyny and hate speech.

It is even rarer for a foreign fashion magazine to do so. But for its July issue, the editor-in-chief of the Mexican and Latin American edition of Marie Claire has climbed atop her glossy soap box with a cover story directed at Ivanka Trump – and, obliquely, her father, the presumptive Republican nominee. In bold cover type, the magazine pleads: "Dear Ivanka. When will you protect us from your father?" And in a series of essays inside, its writers beg: Do something. Talk to him. Stop him. Trump did not pose for the cover photograph. It is an artful collage that depicts her as a cross between a beauty queen and benevolent goddess with bare shoulders and glittering floral earrings. In the background, the Statue of Liberty peers over her shoulder, white stars explode against a blue sky and blush-colored peonies are in full bloom, nestled against her cheek. There is nothing about the cover that speaks of harsh rhetoric. And while almost all the letters appeal to her position of clout within the Trump empire, there are no visual hints of her as a business person. Indeed, there is just enough fabric visible along her torso to assure readers that she isn't actually naked.

But the letters inside are often filled with barely contained fury. "It has never been my goal to attack, judge or question other women. Furthermore, when talking about polemic and controversial topics, generally I would rather stay neutral, with an objective point of view, and if I can't make that happen, at least to be moderate," writes editor Daniela Von Wobeser in her opening letter to readers. "I'd like to ask you, from the bottom of my heart, if supporting your dad's strategy is the best thing for you, as woman or the best for your country and, consequently, mine." "Dear Ivanka, do you think your father would be the leader America deserves? Do you think the values your dad promotes are the ones you want . . . your three children" to inherit? Von Wobeser continues. "I understand no one chooses their parents, but sooner or later we have to understand that being a father does not excludes you from human degradation and, therefore, it's [up to] us, their children, to [break] from them when [they] voluntarily choose that path, or . . .

be doomed to live the same destiny." The issue includes letters from journalists, academics and artists, all of them Latin American, some of them living and working in the United States. They attempt to appeal to Trump as a mother, as a business woman, as an educated woman, as someone who, having converted to Judaism, might have particular insight into the history of religious persecution and how it festers and grows. "I'm sure you've heard this abominable story of survival and horror countless times, possibly during your weekly shabbat dinners, or perhaps during Pesach (Jewish Easter), that you and your descendants must never forget," writes Lorenza Amigo, who describes herself as a Mexican-born freelance writer and housewife living in Chicago. "Don't you think that Trump's comparison to Hitler, made several times in media, is enough to raise a red flag? Do you want to be part of this hate campaign, to be remembered in history as that hypocrite who preferred to overlook and allow such atrocity?" Fashion magazines have long addressed social and cultural concerns within their own borders and even beyond them.

Von Wobeser reminds her readers that one of the founders of Marie Claire France, which was first published in 1937, was involved in petitioning the Vatican to reconsider its stance on contraception. Helen Gurley Brown, who was editor of Cosmopolitan from 1965-1997, was instrumental in introducing blunt talk about sex and sexuality into women's magazines. Glamour uses its annual Women of the Year awards and accompanying issue to consider the struggles faced and overcome by women around the world. And Elle and Vogue both delve into issues related to human rights and gender equality. On the subject of national politics, however, fashion magazines tend to stick to writing admiringly about local candidates – or at least neutrally. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, for instance, has made no secret of her personal support for the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – but the magazine has also showcased Republican women – from Sarah Palin to Cindy McCain – through a flattering lens. Partisanship, after all, can lose a magazine readers. But Trump – and outrage – may be good for circulation. For the first time, this edition of Marie Claire has jumped into U.S. politics.

The magazine set its sights on Ivanka Trump, not simply because she has the ear of a candidate who has been antagonistic towards immigrants – particularly Mexicans – but also because of her independence. "If your dad wins the elections (and I say this with fear in my words), you will be the closest thing America will have as a First Lady. I'm sure you have thought about it. We know Melania, your stepmother, hasn't been an active member on your father's campaign," Von Wobeser writer. "If he gets to be the next president of the United States of America, you will most probably be the closest woman to him, just like you have been on the professional side" The magazine makes no bones that it views Melania Trump as a "trophy" wife who serves at the whims of her husband. Thus, she is in no position to challenge him or his beliefs. The letter writers' emotions range from blunt anger to dismay to desperation. They are also taking a leap of faith. They are presuming that while Ivanka's heart may be with her father, her head is nodding in agreement with them.
