Ivanka Trump and Vice president Mike Pence joined President Trump to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day.
Today we celebrate the lives and achievements of Americans with Down Syndrome. @VP and I will always stand with these wonderful families, and together we will always stand for LIFE!
This was a great move by President Trump. The left is already claiming this was a planned moment but it really is our president’s big heart in action.
