Donald Trump's numbers might be rising in the polls, but he's also got his fair share of critics out there, too. The Presidential hopeful recently said in a new interview that his own daughter Ivanka Trump has said that his perception of women is "really misunderstood" by the public.

The outspoken businessman opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about not only his daughter, but his wife Melania and exactly how he feels when it comes to the opposite sex.

"So my daughter Ivanka, who is a terrific person, she came to me and she said, 'You care so much about women, and you care so much about the whole thing with women's health issues,'" the real estate mogul, 69, said. "Which is such an important issue to me. And she said, 'You are really misunderstood, and you have to get the word out.' And in the last week, I've been putting the word out. Melania told me that, and Ivanka told me that."

What's more, even though his wife Melania has been very quiet so far, Donald hints that the public will be hearing a whole lot more of her in the coming weeks.

"She is a very confident person. You've seen her on The View, and you've seen her on different shows. Larry King. You've seen her being interviewed," he noted. "She's got a great style, and she would be an amazing first lady with heart."

Donald continued praising the Slovenian-born former model.

"She would care very much about women's issues. We're talking about mostly medical issues but women's issues," he revealed of his third wife, mom to his son Barron, 9. "She was very strong on that with me the other day. Ivanka and Melania said, 'You're not getting fairly treated on your feeling toward women.' My mother [Mary Anne Trump] was this incredible woman. I have known incredible women. I have many women executives, frankly, that are better than my men executives. I pay them the same or more."
