Tiffany Trump Rarely Talks to Her Father

Tiffany told PEOPLE in 2016 that since she grew up with mom Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife, in California, visiting her father on her spring breaks from school became a tradition. “I still see him on spring breaks or for Easter, I’m always at Mar-a-Lago with the family,” the Georgetown Law School student explained.

But insiders tell PEOPLE that behind the scenes, Tiffany’s already strained relationship with her father has hit new lows since he took office in January 2017, with the pair going months at a time without contact.

“Since the inauguration, Tiffany and her father have sometimes gone for months without speaking and she went a very long time without seeing him,” a source close to Trump’s younger daughter says. “The last time she was at a family function with him, it was awkward for her and she didn’t feel totally welcome.”

Although Tiffany, 24, was rarely seen on the campaign trail — especially in comparison to her far more visible older half-siblings, Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric — she did make appearances with her father in the final days before the 2016 election and also spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention in July. The source tells PEOPLE that Trump and Tiffany’s time on the road included “bonding moments” that brought the father and daughter closer together — but that closeness was short-lived.

“They always had a strained relationship her whole life, and it got exacerbated by the presidency,” the source says. “It’s gotten much worse now.”

Dotard can’t love anyone but himself. He’s got nothing to give you but heartache and shame.

Donald Trump kicked off Election Day with a jab at his least visible offspring — telling a “Fox and Friends” panel he was proud of 23-year-old Tiffany “to a lesser extent” than his other adult spawn.

“I’m very proud of my children. I mean, I’m just looking at them right now, as an example for your show,” he said. “But I’m very proud, because Don and Eric and Ivanka and — you know, to a lesser extent ’cause she just got out of school, out of college — but, uh, Tiffany, who has also been so terrific.”

Just does not have the burning lust for this one like he has for the other one.

Consider yourself eternally blessed. Ace out at law school and you will have the last laugh.

Hell, this could easily be a PR piece by her people to distance her from her criminally implicated family. Don't you think?

unwanted child from an unwanted marriage. So trump all but ignores her. More evidence of his conservative family values in action.

His spiritual advisers must be opening a mulligan factory.
