How important are Tiffany and Barron to their father?

I was thinking about this yesterday on Fathers Day.
You NEVER hear him mention them.
Whereas his other three adult children that work for him are sometimes mentioned for them doing such a good job for HIM, the other two might as well not exist.
I think that’s because those two are not useful to him.
If you are not useful to the Donald, he has no reason to have you near him.

Am I sad for Tiffany and Barron?
No.
I Actually think that they are the lucky ones that don’t have to cater to him (as long as they are still in the will). 😉😉😉

Melania had a shit tonne too



she actually looked oki then she first met Rump, other than the fake breasts (and she has deffo had bigger ones since this pic), which I detest on anyone, save for breast cancer survivors.



everything Trump touches goes to shit and dies

he is pestilence incarnate, striding the earth

suggested pushing Marla down the stairs when she was pregnant with Tiffany so she'd miscarry. He pretty much loves Ivanka and the rest are unfortunate accidents.

He says that he has no relationship with Barron at all. A photographer suggested he pose for a photo playing golf with Barron, but he brushed him off.

It was easier in their Trump Tower apartment where Barron had a whole floor to himself, but the WH was more confining.
It seems to be true that Barron (and Melania) pretty much live in a house near Barron's school in Maryland. He's very close to his grandparents and speaks Slovenian with them. Trump can't even stand to be in the same room with Melania's parents.

Barron always looks to be disconnected from everyone in the footage we've seen of him. You have to wonder how this will play out in the coming years. He's already 13.

Wish I could find the source.

Tiffany is going into her second year of law school. I believe Trump will incorporate her into The Organization because instead of clerking during her summer hiatus, she's gallivanting around Europe with her boyfriend. That's not what serious future lawyers do. On another note, Tiffany has gained some weight. In the eyes of Donald Trump, that has diminished her value.

Shitstain would never say that about his son, even if the only reason is that it would reflect poorly on himself.

get included in the free U.K. trip. Went to the palace etc. I think Maples wants to be sure Tiffany is not forgotten, especially in the will. Hopefully, after lawyer fees, there will not be much left of tRump "fortune". Of course, he likely pays his lawyers the way he pays contractors, security at his rallies etc. He owes $7 million to DC for his sparcely attended inauguration. Several towns across the country are left holding the bag for his rallies there, too. Paying bills is for the little guys. tRump family are grifters to the bone. By the time this imposter is done, the US will be neck deep in debt.

when the child support ran out. Marla only got $1M from the divorce plus child support, but according to that agreement, even the child support would end if Tiffany chose to join the Peace Corps or the military. Tiffany isn't even close to the older half-siblings, though Ivanka intervened and got Tiffany a credit card from Daddy because she had no spending money to keep up appearances with her rich friends.

It seems if he was so rotten on a personal level, his children would show that and turn on him. But his children seem to like being in their father's shoes, taking on his ideas and his way of life, which I think is grotesque.

she gets to play Politico Barbie when the mood strikes her, promote her product lines on other days, jet off to exotic places on the taxpayers' dime to "promote women", watch her hubby pocket "donations" from his buds in Saudi Arabia - why would she give that up? Same with her brothers: they're happy to grab the perks of being related to the president when it suits them. Barron's too young to do much. Tiffany - well, there was some hope at first but since she's getting more willing to tag along with her older half-siblings when there's something in it for her. (To be fair, if one of my parents said they could get me into a state dinner at Buckingham Palace I'd jump at the chance.)

Trump was not sure about naming Donald Jr because he might turn out to be stupid, incompetent or whatever might embarrass Sr.
