Donald Trump's children told him to STOP bashing Obama over fears he's 'ruining the family name'


By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

It seems even Donald Trump's kids think he should keep his opinions to himself.
Eric, Donald Jr, and Ivanka were apparently so concerned about the damage their father was doing to the family reputation with his constant attacks on Barack Obama that they met with the eccentric tycoon before the election and asked him to cool off on his political rants.

'The three of them met and went to see their dad in his Fifth Avenue office,' a source told the New York Daily News. 'They showed a lot of respect, but told him he's worked too long and hard to build up the reputation he has. They understand he's always been outspoken and that he likes attention, but this is too much.'

Trump's representative denied such a meeting occurred.

Probably the most famous 'birther', Trump has spent years trying to investigate Obama's past and questioning the legitimacy of the President's birth certificate. Shortly before the election, his offer to give $5million to charity if Obama released his academic records was widely mocked in the press.

also. Not like they shouldnt go earn their own good name. If I was Donald, I would tell them, if you want the money, your get the name that I leave.

They could always change their name and try to make it on their own. LOL.

I read an in-depth interview with all of them and they seemed pretty sensible. I guess the Donald just doesn't listen to anyone.
