Don Jr. was so cheap that Vanessa Trump had to ask her mom for money

"Despite being the son of a billionaire, Donald Trump Jr. reportedly was stingy with his wife Vanessa Trump — to the point where she had to ask her parents for money.

Page Six reported Monday that according to friends, Trump Jr.’s soon-to-be ex-wife is divorcing him because he “treats her like a second-class citizen,” and kept her on a much “tighter budget” than one would expect.

“He gives her very little help and has been keeping her on a tight budget,” a source close to the divorce told Page Six. “She doesn’t live a lavish life and can very rarely pick up a check at dinner.”

Sources also say that the couples’ problems go as far back as 2005, before their marriage — and that Vanessa was shopping around for divorce lawyers before her husband’s father won the election in 2016.”

It pisses me off that the fucking moron would constantly not pay workers after they completed their work during his business career. Then to make it even worse he would turn around and sue them making them spend their own money on expensive lawsuits. What as evil ass!

On two previous occasions Trump dragged jr over and introduced himself and his son to Vanessa.

The second time, at the same party, Trump failed to recognize her.

When they met again a couple of weeks later neither remembered each other until she finally figured out it was Trump and jr. She didn't know who Trump was but on the basis of the meeting blurted out "oh your the guy with the retarded dad" when she finally realized that he was the son of the guy who kept trying to set her up.

Just like you always hear the Mercers described as billionaires yet just read a piece which put them at 900 mil -1 billion without the S after billion.

When the Comrades Trump were little and had a lemon-aide stand the staff had to pony up and subsidize the stand out of their own pockets. Comrade Ivanka remembers it as a good/sweet memory.

to see family traditions passed down through the new generations of families. It is this kind of stuff that makes families great.
