Ivanka Trump abruptly ended an interview with Cosmopolitan after she was asked to comment about her father’s controversial remarks on pregnant women in the workplace. Apparently, Ivanka became testy when the reporter mentioned that Trump called pregnant workers an “inconvenience for a business” back in 2004.
