I have a business colleague stuck in Riyadh. Says it's total madness (& that the talk is a failed coup).

(19,204 posts)Considering there were reports out last week about what a terrible father he was to his sons. He seldom talked to them until they reached their late teens. They say he just doesn't know how to relate to children. Little 'Barron' probably only knows what 'Daddy' looks like from watching the nightly news.
Looks like Donnie McSmooth has no problem relating to Ivanka though! That's a creepy picture, and both of them need a brush-up course on proper father/daughter interaction. She looks like she's enjoying it, which is just as sick as Donnie McSmooth having his hands al over her. Do you think she calls him, "Poppa Chubby"?
