At a Moms for Liberty event, Donald Trump has claimed that when he was president he wanted to appoint his daughter, Ivanka, as America’s ambassador to the UN but she opted to instead to work on job creation and hired “millions of people”.

Trump recalled: “I said, you would be a great ambassador to the United Nations, United Nations secretary – there’d be nobody to compete with her. She may be my daughter but nobody could have competed with her, with her rat-rat-rat you know she’s got.

“She said, daddy, I don’t want to do that, I just want to help people get jobs. She would go around – not a glamorous job – but would go around to see Wal-Mart, to see Exxon, to see all these big companies to hire people and she had hired, like, millions of people during the course of her stay.”

The conversation also gave Trump a rare platform to reminisce about his life and career. He told the audience that his mother Mary Anne MacLeod came from Scotland. “Do you know that some of the biggest, smartest, most brilliant leaders come from Scotland? Or at least, you know, their parents came from Scotland. Scotland did very well in this country.”
