Related: About this forumWhere are Trump's children?
I haven't seen any of his children since the RNC, have they abandoned their father? I am thinking that they are so fed up with him that they've given up.
Maybe that's why he's been so unhinged the past few weeks.
All this talk of the sons being on vacation is B.S. Their lives are a vacation. Surely they wouldn't go away at this moment unless they are completely fed up.
What say you?

(19,114 posts)They are just like him. Self serving sociopaths. If lighting their father on fire was beneficial in anyway to them they burn him alive and light cigars off his smoldering carcass.

(41,832 posts)Of course Ivanka has a family. I'm real disappointed in Ivanka. I thought she was pretty cool a few years ago.
She is good friends with Chelsea Clinton, and she married a big Democratic donor from a big Democratic family.
Of course now old Jared is on team Trump ( I guess.... LOL )

(30,817 posts)Trying to explain away her father's comment that a woman should just quit if sexually harassed in the workplace.
Of course, there is no defense, so what could she do? She expressed her own feelings on the subject - which were very appropriate - and left it at that. She didn't try and pretend that that's what he actually meant.
I still like her. She is the only one of his kids who doesn't act like a total snob, and her political views seem to line up more with Dems.

(CNN)It appears Donald Trump's all-male team of economic advisers feel for Ivanka Trump's financial plight.
The child care tax policy as Trump announced it in his economic speech in Detroit yesterday would save upper-income working mothers like Ivanka Trump at least $10,000 per year while not saving the average working mother a penny.
As always with The Donald, details are a bit sketchy. What is clear is that Trump is proposing a deduction, not a credit.

ETA: As for Chelsea; have you ever found yourself with a person that all your trusted friends & family said might not be so good?
I'll not presume to tell Chelsea what to do- but Ivanka - - - Ivanka has shown herself to be a hideous enabler and a sick, hypocritical apologist. I will judge Ivanka for what she has shown us.

(30,817 posts)I'm not sure Ivanka can be blamed for Trump cooking up that idea. As her father he is 'solicitous', to put it nicely.
As for Ivanka, I prefer to believe she is a good person in a very awkward spot. At first she probably believed her father would be a great president, and so defended him. Now the truth is embarrassingly evident, and she is silent. There is simply no defense for the things he has said.
I like to think the best of people, if I can.
Now her brothers: one picture of them proudly showing off their large game kills was enough to tell me exactly who and what they are.
I am curious if her and Chelsea's friendship survives this beastly battle. I rather doubt it - unless they simply take a hiatus for the duration, and never speak of it again afterward.
And she's a hypocrite when she claims to be for paid maternity leave and then we find out she doesn't offer that to her employees.
She could distance herself from her father and his hate speech; other children of famous parents have done that. But she doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, she's Donald Trump in a prettier and more well-spoken package.
