Trump's Children Can't Believe Their Dad Is This Despised

Trump’s Children Can’t Believe Their Dad Is This Despised
You’re up next, Tiffany.
By Kenzie Bryant
November 6, 2020


But who will think of the children? That’s what I want to know. Who will think of them, the poor little ones who will have to find a way through all this chaos. Who is checking on them now that daddy is, well, busy getting fired? Who is peeking through the door to ask Eric Trump if he’s okay? Anyone? Let’s check now. Eric?

Oh, dear. It’s worse than I thought. Everyone knows that Lindsey Graham is simply a loose skin pouch filled with grape Jell-O. Seems like a real breach from reality there.

And what about Donald Jr., the president’s most long-suffering son? What’s he up to? As my colleague Bess Levin elegantly put it, Don took to publicly “shitting a brick.” In a series of tweets, he hollered voter fraud into the abyss. He’s saying things like “statistical impossibilities” as if he knows what statistics are, and repeatedly self-owning by asking if anyone believes that Joe Biden got this many votes. It’s not looking good.

Even Ivanka eked out a synergistic message for dear leader dad in the eleventh hour: Count “legal” votes, she qualifies. What will this woman do after? Please don’t put us through a run for president, lady. We won’t bat an eye if you sell shoes at Nordstrom again if you walk slowly backward away from politics.

And what of Trump’s favorite and best children, that is, the boats? Yes, boats and boat people? The ones he invested his hopes and dreams into? Well, the boat people did not come through, not in the way he wanted. Of the five states with the highest boat ownership, Florida, California, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, he lost four of them. That one must hurt.

The Trump offspring, save maybe the boats, cling to this hope that what’s happening right now is a major fraud, like papa told them it would be for some time, instead of accepting that their family is unwanted here. Even members of the Republican guard—those that greased this guy’s wheels and offered themselves up to be unceremoniously fired, from Fox News pundits to shaky Republican allies to constituents in states he thought were his—are seemingly trying not to make eye contact with Trump. Is it so shocking that people are turning their backs on the man whose only real skill is turning his back on people? To Trump’s children, I suppose yes. The kids are not alright.

One of the only ones who has remained quiet and not perpetuated dad’s panic messaging is only child by his second marriage and recent pro-Trump speech-giver: Tiffany Ariana Trump. What is she thinking?

They’re flailing desperately to keep from being blamed for everything Trump doesn’t like. They crave his love, which, of course, he will never give them. Even Ivanka. They must out shout each other to get a mere throwaway word of praise from him.

she was always showing up at the White House ceremonies, the campaign trail and Mar A Lago so she doesn't get a pass either. She was just as complicit.

She could have escaped unscathed if not for the last few months. Good with me. She will go down with the other rats

They know if they had to make money on their own they could not. If they had to have a job it would be one with their name on their shirt. Ivanka has Jared's money I guess, as long as he stays out of jail (or follows his daddy to prison for cheating people).

The boys will be luck if they don't end up in jail after all this is over. The SDNY is going to have fun with the Trump organization.

And we know Jared is the son of a felon and soon will be the son-in-law of one.

Nobody wants them, even for just a few dollars each.

Maybe me and other Democrats should be meaner? It's not like I ever sent them hateful e-mails despite feeling that way.

They can’t stand him either, they just know a good grift when they see it.
