Donald Trump may soon have a formidable critic to battle over his claim that climate change is a hoax — his daughter Ivanka.
In an article titled: "Ivanka Trump, climate czar?" Politico says the nation's future first daughter "aims to use the first lady's lectern to champion liberal causes."
"She's positioning herself exactly as she did that weekend — as a bridge to moderates and liberals disgusted and depressed with the tone and tenor of the new leader of the free world," Politico's Annie Karni writes.
Karni cites a source close to Ivanka as saying she "wants to make climate change — which her father has called a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese — one of her signature issues."
The source also reveals Ivanka is "in the early stages of exploring how to use her spotlight to speak out on the issue."
