Ivanka Trump says she wasn't expecting 'level of viciousness' toward father

First daughter Ivanka Trump got more than she feels she bargained for when her father won the presidential election.

Making a Monday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Trump spoke of the administration’s plans to address the working class. She then noted that she didn’t expect such negativity toward her father after his win:

“It is hard,” she said. “There’s a level of viciousness that I was not expecting. I wasn’t expecting the intensity of this experience, but this isn’t supposed to be easy.”

Trump also said, “I think some of the distractions and some of the ferocity, I was a little blindsided by on a personal level.”

Critics say the level of vitriol should come as no surprise considering the president's behavior.
