Ivanka Trump’s second book Women Who Work is not getting good reviews. Slate’s Katy Waldman describes the advice book as “a road map to personal and professional success for a theoretical rich, hot woman.” The New York Times’s Jennifer Senior says it is “witlessly derivative,” while The Huffington Post’s Emily Peck writes that Women Who Work is “a grab-bag of generic work-life advice for upper-middle-class white women.” NPR’s AnnaLisa Quinn, meanwhile, highlights Trump’s “habit of skimming from her sources,” which “often results in spectacularly misapplied quotations,” including a Toni Morrison passage about slavery that is used to exemplify the difficulties of time-management for working mothers. “Are you a slave to your time or the master of it?” Trump asks.

But not all the press has been bad. In fact, Trump has deftly used the opportunity of her book’s publication to do what she does best: Make Ivanka Trump look good. In a Facebook post published on April 20, Trump announced that she would be refraining from promoting her book to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. She also said she was establishing a foundation to donate some of the proceeds from the book to charity.

The press has amplified Trump’s message. The Associated Press noted that Trump is “donating the proceeds to charity and has opted not to do any publicity to avoid any suggestion that she is improperly using her White House platform.” Much of the coverage of Women Who Work—even the negative coverage—has echoed this line, conceding that, regardless of the book’s merits, Trump is playing by the rules of good governance. Her overabundance of caution and her sizable contributions to charity—two $100,000 donations is nothing to sneeze at—also create distance between Trump and her father, a dynamic we have seen play out throughout the campaign and his young presidency. Donald Trump may be a miserly, corrupt bigot but his daughter is caring, charitable, dutiful.

The problem is that many in the media—displaying a basic ignorance of how publishing works—have misreported Trump’s charitable giving and greatly exaggerated it. Furthermore, the idea that Ivanka Trump is not promoting the book out of some sort of ethical obligation is false. She may not be doing Today, but she’s brazenly promoting the book—just in a way that shields her from having to answer difficult questions about her father’s presidency.

She may not be doing Today, but she’s brazenly promoting the book.

In a statement announcing the creation of the Ivanka M. Trump Fund, Trump made it clear that she would be donating the unpaid portion of her advance to charities and that the first two recipients would be the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the National Urban League, both of which would get $100,000. The Ivanka M. Trump Fund, the statement notes, “will contribute a minimum $425,000 to the Fund, which is the unpaid portion of the advance, net of expenses. In addition, the LLC will contribute all future royalties it receives that are in excess of the advance to the Fund during the period from May 1, 2017 to May 1, 2022.”
