I know. It hurts my heart. Contrast that with Ashley Biden's sweet story of her dad coming to her "birthday party" in the train station.

I knew that I was never going to vote for Trump, but when I saw that, to me it made him pathetic. He is simply incapable of doing the things that Emhoff and Biden did for their kids. How horrible to know and live with that kind of a man/father.

If my memory is getting it right, I remember reading that Ivana actually raised the first 3, with Donnie rarely getting involved with them until they were old enough to be useful to him. Tiffany didn't grow up with him, and Melania has been visibly shielding Barron from his father.

I wonder what sort of person Barron is going to be. He's grown up during the impeachment and coup phase of his father's life.

I wonder how much Melania and the school were shielding. Once he hit high school, I can't imagine he didn't know what was going on. BTW, the Orange Snake says he's going to college in NY. Any bets that Melania will be staying in NY and not Mar-a-Lago?

You are correct. I do recall some reporting, maybe watching, Trump say that he does not get involved with raising the kids. He just supplies the funds. Quite honestly, the best thing he could have done, other than not fathering children at all.

And since then, Don Jr and Eric have been trying to get Daddy's love and attention that they didn't get when they were kids.

Like father, like son.

They'll never get it. It will always be just out of reach.

Most kids figure it out and want nothing to do with fathers like that. But I guess the money is an incentive.
