On Friday, leaving the White House to go to Camp David, the American president denied the comments reported by the press, qualified as "absolutely false", and assured: "He is a great person, she works a lot and she's a good student, she's a great person, ”he said, promising he would call his daughter as soon as he arrived. "I can't wait to talk to her, I love Tiffany and she's a great person," he added.
"Tiffany has been described as the 'forgotten' Trump"
The relationship between Donald and Tiffany Trump is sometimes the subject of mockery: the young woman grew up far from her New York father, raised by her mother in California, but she has recently grown closer to him since joining the Georgetown Law School, a renowned Washington university - where her big sister also studied for two years. Shortly after his election in 2016, Donald Trump himself made a difference between his children on Fox News:
"I'm very proud, because Don and Eric and Ivanka and, you know, a little less, because that she just got out of school, college, Tiffany, who was great too. They work very hard. ” "Tiffany has been described as the 'forgotten' Trump, which is a strange type of notoriety," "Vanity Fair" wrote in 2017, referring to Tiffany's relationship with Ivanka Trump. The latter, considered her father's "favorite", said she was "very close" to her little sister.
The young woman, who will be 26 in October, rarely appears alongside her father and is often placed at a distance, but she made the trip during the state visit of the US president to London in June. Unlike her elders, Tiffany Trump had taken little part in official visits, sharing images of organized dinners.
