Tiffany Trump At RNC: 'I Can Relate' To Americans Looking For A Job

Source: Huffington Post

In its lineup of speakers Tuesday night, the Republican National Convention highlighted a recent college graduate who said she could relate to struggling Americans: millionaire heiress Tiffany Trump.

“Like so many students across the world, I graduated from law school during the pandemic. Our generation is unified in facing the future in uncertain times ― and many of us are considering what kind of country we want to live in,” she said. “As a recent graduate, I can relate to so many of you who might be looking for a job.”

Trump, the 26-year-old daughter of the wealthiest president in history, is set to inherit millions from her father and graduated from the prestigious Georgetown law school in the spring.

It is true that she is less involved in her father’s businesses than her siblings and has generally gone a different route. But it’s also true that she’ll be fine in her job search and has little in common with most people looking for work right now.

Even with his own children, if Chump can find a way to not pay, he'll take that path (IMO).
Nothing is guaranteed to Tiffany, or any of the others, for that matter. Any infraction of Chump's "rules" will instigate a return to The Art of the Deal.

Whether he's "in" or not, his attitude towards his spawn won't change. He'll always be like his disapproving father, Fred, who put the kids to task.

Sadly, it seems Tiffany may follow her bros and sis into The tRump Organization, making her transformation complete. I'll link here an interesting article I just stole from a post by TomCADem, that ponders the possibility:

if he wasn't President? Would he still do fundraisers? Would Tiffany Trump be in demand at those fundraisers? If any of his kids are in demand, I think it'd be Jr.

He paid for her law school education, so I'd imagine he expects her to, you know, practice law at some point.

(You couldn't have read it - it's a long article - in the four minutes before you responded.)

If you had, you would have come across this:

In October 2016, Donald Trump sat down for a Good Morning America interview with George Stephanopoulos, along with Melania and his four adult children. Tiffany, who had graduated from college five months earlier, spoke just once, when Stephanopoulos asked her about the family business. “Of course I’m interested,” Tiffany answered. “I’m applying to law school, though, so I’d like to bring a different kind of skill set to the company.”


Chances are Tiffany will go full-blown tRump, work in the family business without having to pass the Bar, and will never have to "perform on stage" or "do fundraisers" again.

She'll join the firm, marry her billionaire boyfriend, and never have to want for anything.

And two things I noticed were that she was so botoxed her face looked like rubber and I think I saw her flash the white supremacist hand signal when she was emphasizing the word, "freedom".

I bailed after that.

On August 18, 2019, Tiffany Ariana Trump Instagrammed a portrait of herself standing before a bedazzled five-by-seven-foot portrait, also of herself. Of her 1 million followers, more than 50,000 have liked it, including @MrBlingColombia, who posed beside her.

Mr. Bling is the preferred appellation of Mauricio Benitez, a Colombian artist who has made portraits of Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and several of the Kardashians and whose preferred medium is Swarovski crystals. Mr. Bling says Tiffany commissioned the artwork, which features Tiffany in a black motorcycle jacket against a shimmering cerulean backdrop, hair taken on a breeze. It took Mr. Bling and his team just over a month to fully realize the piece, manually affixing 150,000 crystals onto a plain black canvas, one by one. The piece was then flown from Medellín to Miami, where South Beach framers fitted it with an ornate, gilt surround.

The part that JUMPED out at me was this:


Tiffany spent Easter playing aunt at Mar-a-Lago, tossing Don Jr.’s kids around the pool. “All of our lives have changed a great deal since we got into politics,” says Don, who tells me he’s impressed with how Tiffany has handled growing up Trump in the time of #MAGA.

Ummmm, since when did Junior "get into politics"? Who is the "we" to whom he refers? Is this another "tell" into the plans of this family?

Saying she was the best of the bunch was a fairly low bar.

Technically I think she still qualifies as the best of the bunch but her margin of victory is greatly reduced.

In case you were wondering whether the "smart" trump child would somehow distance herself from her family or demonstrate a greater degree of self awareness than her father and siblings. . . now you know. She won't. I guess it's genetic. Despite the Georgetown degree, my guess is her only job offers will come from RW companies or law firms.

I'm sure she'll find a way to start at the top somewhere, but a lot of very prestigious law firms are not going to want her name on the partnership list.

Eventually she'll haunt boardrooms across the country. Nobody pays attention to the names on the BOD (except nerds like me, who find the whole thing incredibly incestuous) and many will find it advantageous to have her there since the rest of the family didn't seem to be colossal fuckups, just Dumdum and his first family.
