According to RT, Mr. Trump shared this on November 6, when interviewed by Fox News, after his victory over Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in the election.

“I told my family, enough is enough,” Mr. Trump said. “You know why? It’s too painful for my family. My family has been through a lot.”

Trump was the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, and will become the 47th President from 2025. His eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, were important advisers to him during his first term. They were often criticized for their roles. In 2022, when Trump began his third campaign for the White House, his daughter Ivanka announced that she would leave politics to prioritize her children and family life. “No matter what, I will always love and support my father, but from now on, I will do that outside of politics,” Ivanka said.

Ivanka Trump’s decision comes as he faces multiple federal criminal charges related to the seizure of more than 100 classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Ivanka, along with her brothers Eric and Donald Jr., are also named in a civil lawsuit filed by the New York attorney general and face legal risks related to the Trump family business.

Last month, Mr. Trump also said that his 18-year-old son Barron Trump also played an important role in his campaign strategy.

The interview with Fox News came after Trump narrowly defeated Harris in a dramatic election. He also gave his first speech at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida. Speaking to supporters, Donald Trump said he and his supporters had made history in the race for the White House. Trump also pledged to "heal" the country, saying that America had given him and his supporters an important and unprecedented mission.

As of 8:00 a.m. on November 7 (Vietnam time), CNN reported that Mr. Trump won 291 electoral votes, while Ms. Harris won 223 votes.
