President Donald Trump briefly derailed a press conference after becoming distracted by a woman in the audience he claimed looked “exactly like Ivanka.”

Midway through his remarks, Trump paused, pointed toward the crowd, and commented on the resemblance, drawing laughter and visible surprise from attendees.
