Trump's son and daughter-in-law had a baby yesterday. No tweet or retweet from him

even after they posted a baby picture in a tweet this morning. Since then, he's made 10 tweets and 20 retweets (mostly about people sucking up to him), including literally congratulating Javanka for not working. No acknowledgement of a major family event, because it wasn't about him.

Tony Soprano was more of a caring father.

He has to be the baby at every christening, the bride at every wedding, and the corpse at every funeral.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth. She was no Ivanka suck-up to her father, Theodore Roosevelt. That quote was a missive directed at him for being a slut for publicity and attention.

However, I will not begrudge Trump the attention he craves when he is finally the corpse at his own funeral. In fact, I might be among the many people who will volunteer to water his grave.
