Watch the recent documentary, which is mostly 1-on- 1interviews with the 3 adult children. They all talk about their father never coming to any of their games or events as kids — if you wanted to see dad, you went where he was going (deals & wrestling matches, etc). The adult kids don’t see any harm caused by this dynamic.

I don't either. It is a pretty accurate description of my childhood.

My dad was extremely successful, military & government, and he never had time to attend our sporting events or school activities because he was always working. If we wanted to see him, we went to where he was. He always made time for us there. It was what it was. And it was what made him the respected and highly recognized man that he is today.

My (and apparently the Trump kids') experience was different from yours but it doesn't mean it was less good than yours. I would wager that I have a better and more healthy relationship with my dad than you did/do with yours.

Curious why you felt the need to get defensive. I intentionally wrote that post as neutral - simply re-stating facts. But here you are betting that your dad is better than mine. Sad.

You don't see this statement (The adult kids don’t see any harm caused by this dynamic.) as judgmental? Sad. Actually, very sad.

And I stand by my response. I fully believe that I have a healthier relationship with my dad than you do with yours. How do I know this? I know it because I am not judging him for the decisions that he made to be the best person, father and husband he could be. I recognize and respect his choices because I see the value that he produced for our family and our nation.

Please start a new thread to talk about yourself and your dad.

DP. This is all anonymous, so I have no idea who you and your father are. I do know who Donald Trump is and what he’s like as a person. I seriously doubt he could be a good father — but not because his kids only really spent time with him at work. Malignant narcissists are not good parents. Compulsive liars are not good parents. Morally bankrupt people are not good parents. Therefore, Trump is unlikely to be a good parent.

You know what makes him a good father? His kids stand by him. They wouldn't do that if they didn't love him and if they didn't respect him. They aren't doing it for money. They are doing it because they love and respect their father. That makes him a good father.

I'm not a Trump fan. Far from it. But it is clear that these kids love their dad, and that makes him a good father.

LOL what?

Ivana Trump’s Funeral Turned Into a Very Disturbing Roast
But the most unusual eulogy seems to have come from Dorothy Curry, who worked in the Trump household as the children’s nanny and gave remarks in which she referred to Ivana’s isolated later years in terms that sound positively gothic:

In her two-minute speech, she alluded to that isolation, talking about how she had been close to Ms. Trump through the spring and summer of her life, after which followed an autumn and “inevitable winter” of “roses dying” as her former employer’s field of dreams became a “sinking swamp” of “parasites” who had kept her “afloat” with “illicit dreams and schemes.”

The only inappropriate person there would have been Marla Maples. The kids are fine to attend.

It is an immature troll who keeps resurfacing the same post from pages ago. You don't understand that?

Like everything, this was a performance for and about him. Very sad.

And she is buried at his golf course. Sad!

From what I’ve read, Ivanka still held a torch for Donald. So, this is probably what she would have wanted. Plus, perhaps the kids will be buried there one day and she wants to be buried near them.

I hope we're talking about Ivana. Jesus, gross Freudian slip but well deserved.

Maybe this has already been covered, but why was her body taken to the golf club and not a cemetery?

The ex is so much prettier. Kimberly Gargoyle really done messed up her face.

She looks like a real life Halloween mask. Horrible.

Too bad you failed to ask her. Lol

Family of sad sacks. They epitomize the phrase that money can't buy you happiness (or class). Would not want to be a member of the Trump family for all the money in the world.

Probably because a cemetery is public property, but a private club can charge a fee - Trump will do anything to try to drum up attendees who might spend $99 on a rubber chicken dinner and a gawk session

I was thinking it was because he’s so cheap. I can’t see him paying yo buy real estate on someone else’s property. He can’t exactly bury his family members in the basement of Trump tower, so a golf course it is.
Of course at some point this whole “empire” will go under and some one else will buy that golf course property and have to figure out what to do with the bodies buried there.
