Donald Trump's presidential campaign was marked by controversy in part over remarks he made about banning Muslims along with sexual harassment allegations and a scandal surrounding a 2005 video in which he is heard boasting of making physical contact with women without their consent.In November, Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka, reportedly urged her father's team not to promote a campaign ad she is featured in over fear that is would harm her personal brand.According to the New York Times, she appeared in a commercial aimed at garnering support from suburban women for her father's White House run with the intention of appealing to women who had recoiled from the brash real-estate mogul's scandals involving women and his use of salacious language.
