Tiffany, the daughter Donald Trump loves less than Ivanka
Ivanka and Tiffany Trump say they are the best of friends, despite serious family conflicts that could have made them estranged for life. Still, the gap between the two is clear and reflects how dysfunctional America's 'first family' is.
The downside is to Tiffany, to whom Trump hardly speaks to and lives virtually anonymous. Ivanka, on the other hand, has always been in the public eye, she is the weakness of her father and it is whispered that she handles it with her pinky.
Ivanka, 37, grew up very close to the president and not even the virulent divorce of her mother, Ivana, separated her from him. She has accompanied him in his career and today she is his official adviser in the White House, which is unprecedented in presidential history, and she is one of the few people he trusts.
Trump sees Ivanka daily, while Tiffany doesn't even call her for months.
To show her prominence, on the recent state visit to London, the eldest daughter was seated at the business table alongside Prime Minister Theresa May, the President and British businessmen, who told Trump that of all present, "she is the one with the biggest balls," said the London daily The Times.
Her unfettered access to her head of state makes her very powerful and is sometimes crucial to soften her radicalism. In 2018, when the crisis over the children of immigrants separated from their parents on the border with Mexico, within the framework of Trump's tough policy in this regard, she, moved, told him: “Daddy, what are we going to do with this? ? ”, And his response was to cancel the order.
Tiffany, for her part, has never worked with Trump. She also joined the presidential entourage in London, where she did not get involved in official business, but preferred to do the light things that any rich girl would prefer on her way through the city: shopping at the Gucci store, in glamorous Mayfair, with tennis and cap, and lunch at a super exclusive club.
Ivanka is very protective of Tiffany, but she has not been able to get her mother, Ivana, to stop humiliating her sister's mother by calling her 'the showgirl'.
The youngest of the Trumps, a law student, grew up physically and emotionally estranged from her father, due to the drama that surrounded her birth. Trump fell in love with her mother, Marla Maples, while he was married to Ivana, Ivanka's mother, and hers, her brothers Don Jr. and Eric.
It was the biggest passion scandal of the early nineties and Marla scored a popularity hit when she told the New York Post that she had "the best sex in the world with the mogul." Ivana does not forgive Marla and her anger is such that she never calls her by her name, but with the derogatory the showgirl (the cabaret).
The president also hates his second ex-wife, which explains the distance from the youngest daughter. Tiffany was 6 years old when her parents divorced. She ended up growing up in Los Angeles, a five-hour plane ride from Manhattan-resident Trump, where she only visited him twice a year. Thus, while her sister rubbed shoulders with the jet set and was famous since childhood, she led a more ordinary life.
If for Ivanka the presidency has meant a closer relationship with her father, for Tiffany it has been the opposite. Her relationship with Trump is strained, because his occupations almost never allow him to see her and months can go by without the slightest contact between the two.
For many, not even Donald himself conceals the imbalance between her affections: when he starred in The Apprentice, Ivanka appeared 86 times, while her sister did not.
At first, he sees her as the female version of himself, he never criticizes her and showers her with praise all the time. He has never spoken of Tiffany in public and rarely includes her in her presidential appearances like the rest of her children. It is suspected that her recent appearance on the British tour was to conjure up the gossip that she is a second in her family.
