IVANKA TRUMP TALKS CHILDCARE AFFORDABILITY IN NEW TRUMP TV AD
Ad Highlights Donald J. Trump’s Transformative Childcare Policy
NEW YORK, NY - Today the Donald J. Trump for President campaign released a new television ad featuring Ivanka Trump entitled “Motherhood,” highlighting Mr. Trump’s plan to lower childcare expenses, improve maternity leave and offer elder care. “Motherhood” will air nationally, and will be heavily rotated into battleground states starting today.
This is the first national campaign ad that Ivanka Trump has appeared in, talking about a policy plan she helped craft for her father’s campaign.
“Mr. Trump’s childcare affordability plan will immediately help millions of hard-working Americans provide for their families by introducing innovative solutions benefitting everybody. Mr. Trump’s clear vision on this issue sets him apart from Hillary Clinton, who has offered little more than partisan rhetoric and vague talking points. If you’re looking for a change to improve America, Donald Trump will provide that leadership.” - Jessica Ditto, Deputy Communications Director

IT: The most important job any woman can have is being a mother, and it shouldn’t mean taking a pay cut
I’m Ivanka Trump, a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur.
Donald Trump understands the needs for a modern work force.
My father will change outdated labor laws so that they support women and American families
He will provide tax credits for childcare, paid maternity leave, and dependent care savings accounts.
This will allow women to support their families, and further their careers.
DT: I’m Donald Trump and I approve this message.
Single women without children made 94 cents on a man’s dollar, but married mothers with children made only 81 cents in 2014. About two-thirds of working mothers have poorly compensated jobs without benefits.
Federal policies currently in place to benefit families are all but obsolete. They were written more than 65 years ago to serve a workforce that no longer exists. Dual-income families were not the norm in 1949 when the current tax code was established. Today, in almost two-thirds of married couples, both parents work outside the home.
The Trump childcare plan allows every parent or family in America – including adoptive parents, stay-at-home moms and foster parent guardians – to deduct their child care expenses from their income taxes.
For low-income individuals who have no net income tax liability, we will offer an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the form of a childcare rebate.
Parents will be allowed to establish a Dependent Care Savings Accounts (DCSAs) for each of their children. Total annual contributions a DCSA are limited to $2,000 per year from all sources, and would be tax exempt. Funds remaining in the account when the child reaches 18 can be used for education expenses, but additional contributions could not be made.
The Trump plan offers a crucial safety net for working mothers whose employers do not provide paid maternity leave. By recapturing fraud and improper payments in the unemployment insurance program, we can provide 6 weeks of paid-maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit. This maternity leave will be paid straight out of the unemployment insurance fund and, again, this safety net will be completely paid-for through savings within the program.
The Trump plan proposes 6 weeks of partial pay through the existing unemployment Insurance system, fully paid for by eliminating waste and inefficiencies within the program.
The Trump plan recognizes the value of every parent, including stay at home moms. The tax-code has never done this before.
