If you ever wondered why even his children couldn’t tell heartwarming stories about growing up with their dad, let me tell you why.
Exhibit A:
“I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of [my children]. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park,” Trump said in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. “Marla used to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re not walking Tiffany down the street,’ you know in a carriage. Right, I’m gonna be walking down Fifth Avenue with a baby in a carriage. It just didn’t work.
“Supply funds.” That’s his definition of parenting. So yeah, the guy is an asshole, has always been an asshole, and will always be an asshole. And the fact that he’s an asshole to his own family makes him a tremendous asshole. The biggest!
It’s worse, not only did he kick out the baby, but he insulted the mother in the process:
[Baby first starts crying:] “Don’t worry about that baby, I love babies. I love babies. I hear that baby crying. I like it. What a baby, what a beautiful baby. Don’t worry, don’t worry. The mom’s running around, like don’t worry about it, you know. It’s young and beautiful and healthy and that’s what we want.”
[A minute later:] “Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. That’s alright. Don’t worry — I, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking. That’s ok. People don’t understand. That’s ok.”
Asshole.
Bonus exhibits! Exhibit C:
In a 2007 interview, Trump told Stern about his relationship with Tiffany, his daughter with Marla Marples. Trump said that Tiffany visits him, “You know for about an hour, ‘Hi dad,’ Hi Tiff, I love you Tiff.’ She’s a great kid,” says Trump, who tells Stern that Tiffany’s a smart girl—something he knows because he “glances” at her report cards.
No wonder Tiffany seemed the best adjusted of his kids during the Republican convention. She’s the one that hasn’t had to suffer his presence the longest.
