While Trump was in Saudi Arabia the MSM continued their attack on our President. The newest attack was pointed at his daughter Ivanka. They claimed Ivanka got 100 million donated to her from Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This story continued to pick up steam and was pushed by many media personalities at CNN.
This is virtually identical to what Trump and others in GOP criticized Clinton Foundation for. https://t.co/AcwddFeuYW

Ivanka Fund got $100MM pledge from Saudis & UAE.
But oops! Trump is like Hallmark cards. There’s an old tweet to celebrate every occasion. pic.twitter.com/ONZzpG5hRM— Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) May 21, 2017
I’m so old I remember when Clinton Fdnt getting Saudi gvt $ was rightly criticized. What’s good for the goose, just doesn’t apply to Trumps. https://t.co/0ZMeT5179r

As the Daily Wire and Wall Street Journal point out this is misleading news.
Excerpt from The Daily Wire:
The money is actually going toward a fund called Women Entrepreneurs Fund, which is run by the World Bank, not Ivanka. The only thing Ivanka has to with the fund is that she proposed it. The Wall Street Journal reports (emphasis added):
Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal:
Ms. Trump has made the promotion of women entrepreneurs a signature part of her focus since her father’s inauguration in January. She has advocated for issues such as paid family leave, though the issue has gained little traction in Congress. While she had proposed the idea of the World Bank fund, Ms. Trump doesn’t control it or raise money for it, one person familiar with the plans said.
This is once again a smear campaign by the Mainstream media looking for a way to attack Donald Trump. Hillary controls the money that is donated to her fund and has used it for her own personal gain. Ivanka, on the other hand, is strictly someone who is proposing the idea on behalf of the World Bank fund.
