I think, Ivanka attractive and charming as she is, is being allowed to push her female-centric and feminist view too much. I sort of understand why Trump is allowing it to go forward. Some people have to be pander too based on their identity group.

I do think Trump is pandering for votes, but he's not that conservative, so I wouldn't be surprised if he really believes in this proposal. I have no way to tell one way or the other with Trump though.
I love watching the republican platform collapse. Prior to trump this idea would have been called anti-business socialism.
It will still be called that by many members of Congress who are more interested in Entitlement ( SS and Medicare) reform which Trump seems to oppose, for now.
He has to do something to make the Republican Party more appealing to millennials and to women
Even as a tax write off, this would mean that other taxpayers would be making up the tax shortfall that's created. Also, just think of the oversight and regulation that this would require to ensure that it operates efficiently and fairly, without con artists taking advantage of a program like this. The idea is is inconsistent for someone who's in favor of less regulation.
Even with, or without tax dollars going to support this, to whatever degree, it would jeopardize the financial stability of small companies. This is idealism worthy of Bernie Sanders. It shows

Im not sure it would be too much of a burden on taxes. I think the budget needs to be examined with an ax not a pen...a program like this is fine. The rest of the world does it. I see families where the wife takes 2 weeks off for a new born then back at work, baby at daycare all day. Kid grows up to be a disrespectful a hole an we wonder why?
Sounds like he could be pandering to women for their vote, or he actually is in favor of this, or this is just another empty promise, or some combination thereof. I just find it interesting because conservatives usually oppose policies like this, not that I consider Trump to be conservative, but some of his supporters are on the record saying that Trump is conservative.
I suspect he actually is in favor of this, though I wonder if he has this policy in his own corporation. I think they should rename it family leave and allow both men and women to take paid time off. It doesn't have to be six weeks though. That seems a little too long. Most people, especially men, wouldn't take it.
When my kids were still in daycare, my husband and I would alternate days to take off if one of the babies were sick. My boss was very understanding, but my husband's boss asked my husband why couldn't his wife stay home. He had to explain to him that I also had a job.
