Has anyone seen Tiffany Trump since the Cleveland RNC?

(Leaving Barron out of it because he's only 10)

The 3 older spawn are in our faces all the time. Tiffany's - what? - 22, but other than the nomination fiasco she's been out of sight, and it seems she wants to keep it that way.

2. She was never close to Trump

He never visited her when she was growing up in California. Her mother would take her to New York twice a year to see him in his office and occassionally take her out to dinner during the visit. She would spend 2 weeks with him in Florida during the summer. When she spoke at the convention, Trump was in New York.

4. Just wondered because Mr. anti-women pro-life seems to treat her

as an afterthought.

I respect her privacy and admire her more if she chooses to distance herself from this debacle.

5. She was probably included in the convention because he was told it would look bad if she wasn't

She's better off staying as far away as possible from that bunch of miscreants.

6. She's got a lot more class than her father

My SO taught Tiffany at a private school in NYC. This was after Marla Maples divorced Donald Trump. Both Tiffany and her mother were polite ladies who behaved with class and style.

Somewhere in the past year, I read that somehow Melania was an adoptive mother but that doesn't quite make sense. Sorry if this muddies that water a bit!

8. Yes. Tiffany was raised by Marla, who raised her as a single mother. Trump only included

Tiffany in the RNC because he was told (allegedly but it seems obvious to me that Ivanka is his pampered pet and that he doesn't care all that much for either Tiffany or Barron -- who seemed to barely know who his father was by the way he reacted to him. I don't think he likes his sons all that much either) that it wouldn't look good to exclude her. I think Trump feels that Marla AND Melania "trapped" him into marriage with pregnancies. He even made comments like this in various interviews.

But otherwise he seems to ignore her totally, and honestly I am sure she is the better person for NOT having much contact with him as she was growing up. He also made disgusting comments about Tiffany when she was a baby -- saying that she inherited her mother's sexy legs and maybe her "t!ts" too in a television interview.

and treating the others lukewarmly, coldly (or much worse) is a textbook 101 symptom of a classical narcissist.

9. I believe she is still in college and doesn't want to blow away a semester on a lost cause

She is smart enough to know:
1 It will be hard work and won't be appreciated by Trump or her siblings
2. It is a lost cause
3. She doesn't want to be tainted
4. She has her own career to think about.
5. All her college friends would disown her
6. The most important one: All her Facebook friends would unfriend her and then taunt her as an outcast
