I bet he could not name every one of them. I think he has 10. I think he’d stumble after two names.

that would be a wonderful task to put to him... Please mr rump, tell us a cute story about your newest grandchild. Or just a story? How about a name?

were little so he could be first to the bottom of the hill.
Then there's the photo sessions with 8 year old Ivanka in the limo with daddy or pre-teen Ivanka in a little black dress posed on the bed with daddy.
Yea, family memories....

He spends no time with anyone in his family and has no interests outside of of his "deals", himself, or golf. He is the most pathetically boring, uninteresting person in the world. And he even cheats at golf. What an empty, sad life he leads.

I don't even think he likes sex...I think it's always been a necessary power-play for him. But not something he really liked.

Honestly, if Trump dropped dead this afternoon, strangers would mourn him more than his family. The family fight over his assets (assuming he really has any) would make all of the headlines.

I know I will get crap for this, but I am not sure he's even straight. He despises women and only seems to light up around other dominent men, like Putin or Kim Jong-un. That is the only time I have ever seen a genuine smile on his face.

I don't think there is anyone who loves him or even anyone who really likes him. As his niece says, every relationship he has is transactional. Nobody really gives a damn about him and nobody will truly mourn him when he goes.

2. Trump wouldn't be able to pick them out of a crowd.

3. When Don Jr. had his fifth baby, his father groused why he had to have so many kids. (I can't find the story online, but I *know* I saw it in the past.)

He comes from a foundation of reinforced misunderstandings about life. All he does is double down on concepts ands things that don’t really work in reality.
Trump is a case study in selfishness and talking about his grandchildren would be too much of a distraction from that.
