Ivanka Trump stands by her father after horrific assassination attempt.
The former first daughter met Donald Trump upon his arrival in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday night after the assassination attempt.
The two are very close. She spoke to him on the phone while he was in hospital on Saturday night, sources close to the campaign told DailyMail.com.
“She is currently in Bedminster, where she has been living mostly this summer, and met him on his arrival last night and also this morning,” the source said.

Ivanka will join the former president and the rest of the family in Milwaukee on Thursday when Donald Trump formally accepts the Republican presidential nomination.
Following the horrific assassination attempt on her father, Ivanka took to social media to thank her supporters and said she was “praying for America” after the act of “senseless violence.”
He also thanked the Secret Service for their response in taking down the gunman.
“I love you dad, today and always,” the former First Daughter wrote on X.
Ivanka added: ‘Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and the other victims of today’s senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I thank the Secret Service and all other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions today. I continue to pray for our country.”
He also said he believed his mother Ivana was looking after his father.
“Two years ago today, my mother passed away. I believe she was caring for my father last night during the attempt on his life. I miss her every day and pray for the safety of the family and friends she left behind,” Ivanka wrote on social media Sunday morning.
Trump returned to his New Jersey home, where he is spending the summer, after being released from the hospital. He and the rest of the family have homes on the grounds of his Trump golf club in Bedminster.
He suffered a minor injury in the shooting: a bullet grazed his right ear and left a trail of blood on his face.
