Trump Sibling Rivalry

What do you want to bet that Donny Jr. and Eric didn't know about all the money that their father funneled to their sister == while not getting their share of the spoils?

Bad enough that Ivanka is a "Senior WH Advisor" and that she was picked to be their father's successor in the WH. But giving her an allowance above and apart from the salary from the Trump Organization is something altogether different.

My prediction: What for Palace Intrigue whereby the Trump Kids don't coalesce to fight for their father and instead, try to depose each other. Could be leaking information to the press.

Maybe Donny knew about this already and that's why he looked so wasted when he called for an "army" of Trump voters.

Donald was the golden child. Fred spoiled him—gave him a six-figure allowance while he allowed his other 4 children to struggle financially. Nobody said a word. Nobody complained. They stuck together like glue—just to curry favor with Fred, the Don, and make sure they inherited. It was Fred’s grandchildren (Mary and her brother) who first dared to complain. For that they were further impoverished, disinherited, and shunned by the rest of the family, including their grandmother.

No. In a crime family like this, all the incentives favor remaining silent about your grievances and continuing to kiss the Don’s ring.
