Donald Trump, portrait of father (and husband)
The new US president likes to define his family as the "fundamental pillar": five children, three wives and eight grandchildren. Numbers and statements of someone who has always said: "I know I was a good father"
Let's face it right away: the relationship between Donald Trump and women has never been idyllic. His opponents have reminded us of this every day in recent months and the new president of the United States, for his part, has often (unfortunately) let himself go to not exactly forgivable slips.
Women, however, have been and still are an essential component of the tycoon's private life. Which here we try to tell you. After all, he has always defined his (large) family (composed mainly of women), his "pillar". And the first thanks as president, as expected, went to them. Without forgetting to mention the parents who "look down on him".
Let's start with a woman, in fact: the "favorite daughter", or so they say: Ivanka Trump, 34 years old from the marriage with Ivana (they also say that she is the woman who knows him best), which lasted from 1977 to 1992. For many the former model graduated with honors in Economics is the new First Lady, certainly she has always been the public face of the billionaire. "My pride," Donald repeated several times.
Then, there is Major Donald Trump Jr., 38, Eric, 32, also born from the union with Ivana. And the very blonde Tiffany, 23, had by his second wife Marla Maples. The youngest is Barron, 10, son of the current wife Melania, who appeared very sleepy during his father's first speech as president. Nothing strange for his age. The grandchildren, however, are eight.
"I've always prided myself on being a good father," Donald sentenced a few months ago to People. The reason? "I know I have always been available with my children." Despite the commitment to manage an estimated assets of 3.7 billion dollars.
Moreover, the Trump-dad also defines himself as "protective", in having chosen to send his three children to boarding school, at the time of the turbulent first divorce. “It was just too much for them, and indeed the children grew strong. I am proud of how they have become, ”he added.
“When we were kids,” the major recalled recently, “we could sit in his meeting room, perhaps while he was negotiating a deal. And if we played with toy cars and made noise, he didn't care. "
And what about Trump's husband? His wives, as we know, are three (at the moment). Ivana always called him The Donald. And of him today she says: "Public opinion is wrong, Donald loves women and has always given them the same opportunities. After we got married, he immediately made room for me within his empire, "the former Czech athlete told Vanity Fair. And then to comment: "Donald is simply not a feminist, like most men, that's the truth."
The meeting with Melania, on the other hand, dates back to 1998. The 46-year-old ex model expresses herself thus about her husband: «If you are a woman and you attack him, he will fight back. Whoever you are". And again: «Sometimes I say that I have two" boys "at home, my son and my husband».
He, apparently, has managed to maintain "good relations" with all three, after two divorces that are complicated to say the least. It is not easy for his children to recognize him: «My brothers and I feel close to each other, we often go on vacation together. I know they can count on me, and I on them, ”Eric said.
“We are really happy,” added Tiffany, “Ivanka helped me whenever I needed her. And he and my mother have remained on good terms ».
