Yes, Trump wanted to name his daughter (not Tiffany) as his running mate in 2016, according to Trump’s former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates.
In an account of a June 2016 meeting in Gates’ upcoming book, Wicked Game, Gates writes that Trump’s top aides were discussing who to pick when the future POTUS chimed in.
“I think it should be Ivanka.
What about Ivanka as my VP?”
“She’s bright, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, and the people would love her!”
Trump brought up the idea repeatedly for weeks, according to Gates, and only gave up when Ivanka said it might not be such a great idea.
