Donald Trump was not immediately delighted with the birth of his daughter, Tiffany Trump, who celebrates her 27th birthday on Tuesday, October 13. In an interview granted to Howard Stern in 2004, the American president had moreover admitted it without taboo.
Tiffany Trump celebrates her 27th birthday this Tuesday, October 13. The opportunity to reflect on his relationship with his father, which has not always been easy. Fourth child of Donald Trump, the young woman was born in 1993 from the romance between the President of the United States and Marla Maples. While the American actress was pregnant, the reaction of her companion at the time was surely not what she expected. In an interview with Howard Stern in 2004, relayed by Newsweek, the resident of the White House spoke bluntly about the day he learned that he was going to be a dad again. "I'm glad it happened. I have a great daughter," he confided before recalling his first emotion: "I said to myself: 'Excuse me, what's going on?' And then I said, 'Well, what are we going to do now?'" he continued. The mother of her baby then replied, "Are you serious? It's the best day of our lives." And Donald Trump to bounce back: "Oh, great."
It must be said that Tiffany Trump was born in a delicate context, as The List points out. The revelation of the romantic relationship between Donald Trump and Marla Maples by the media had set fire to the powder. The two lovebirds were married on December 21, 1993, two months after the arrival of their daughter, and only a few months after the divorce of Donald and Ivana Trump. The press then sided with the ex-wife of the billionaire. A controversy that had a heavy impact on the life of Tiffany Trump, despite her very young age. In an interview with ABC Primetime Live in 1994, the businessman also slipped that he might never have married Marla Maples, if it hadn't been for this scandal. They finally divorced in 1999.
“Her father treated her like a nobody”
Father of five children - Donald Trump Jr. (42 years old), Ivanka Trump (38 years old), Eric Trump (36 years old), Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump (14 years old) - it is undoubtedly to his second daughter that he gave the least attention. The brothers and sister of the singer and model have been more exposed in the media, in part because of the political commitments of some of them. According to statements by her former friend, Samantha Cohen, Tiffany Trump would never have found her place in the family. "It's not something she said to me explicitly, but it's not easy to feel all your life that you are not wanted", related the young woman in the columns of Vanity Fair on Friday, September 11. According to her, "her father treated her like a nobody all her life". The one who grew up in California, is nevertheless very complicit with her mother, who raised her as a single mother.
