18 Things You Didn’t Know About The Trump Sisters!
18.
Ivanka: Once Supported Hillary Perhaps it was a result of her long-standing
relationship as friends with Chelsea Clinton, but Ivanka Trump was once a fairly avid supporter
of Hillary Clinton.
She even reportedly made more than one donation to Clinton’s various campaigns, including
a donation of $1000 in 2007.
This is understandable though, since Ivanka has always held the causes of women and feminism
in high regard.
It also may be easy to forget since the 2016 race was so brutal, but the Trump and Clinton
families were once pretty close.
Donald Trump has reportedly donated upwards of $100,000 to Hillary over the years, and
was seen conversing and laughing with the Clintons at several social events in the past.
17.
Ivanka: Now Jewish After meeting her future husband during a
business meeting, Ivanka Trump endeavored to convert to his religion.
Jared Kushner is Jewish, and in that religion it is frowned upon to marry outside of the
Jewish faith.
It seems Jared brought Ivanka around, though, because she began studying for the rigorous
conversion process more than a year before their wedding.
Her instructor was Rabbi Haskel Lookstein at the Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun in East
Manhattan.
She took on the Jewish name Yael to complete her conversion, and she was married to Jared
in 2009.
The couple now has three children.
16.
Tiffany: Mommy Movie Star Although her name is Tiffany Trump, she was
raised almost exclusively by her mother, Marla Maples.
Marla isn’t just known for being Trump’s trophy wife, however.
She has appeared in television shows and movies including Maximum Overdrive and Executive
Decision, as well as 1998’s Happiness.
Marla met Donald Trump in 1989, and their highly publicized romance left no one surprised
when they married in 1993.
That same year saw the birth of the couple’s only child, Tiffany Trump.
Shortly after in 1997 Marla and Donald separated, and were formally divorced in 1999.
15.
Tiffany: Same School After the separation of her mother and father,
Tiffany went to live with her mother in California.
She grew up there, and upon graduating high school she swapped coasts to attend college
at the University of Pennsylvania.
This is of course the same school her father attended, so it’s obvious why she made the
choice to attend there.
She graduated just last year with a double major in Sociology and Urban Studies.
Trump has said that he’s proud of her, and that she received straight A’s during her
college career.
14.
Tiffany: Distant Donald Because of the fact that her parents’ divorce
wasn’t the nicest of splits and Tiffany went to live with her mother in California,
it seems that Tiffany doesn’t know her father very well.
Although she’s expressed nothing but support and admiration for her father, it’s clear
that she didn’t get the same level of direct involvement from Donald Trump as his other
children, and especially Ivanka, received.
She has expressed a desire to get to know her father better, and even to assist him
in his new duties as President of the United States.
13.
Vogue Although it’s clear Tiffany isn’t super
close with her father (at least not yet), the same can’t be said for her older sister.
Tiffany and Ivanka have become close, and have been seen together many times.
It’s even reported that Ivanka used her connections in the business world to land
her she was able to pull some strings in that
industry.
Tiffany took the job seriously, and would reportedly go to work at 5:30 AM every day.
Her internship at Vogue has since ended, but Tiffany has remarked that she enjoyed it greatly
and will miss the friends and acquaintances she made over its course.
12.
Tiffany: Knew The Kardashians Although Tiffany is of course going to use
her father’s (and her family’s) new position of power to her advantage, she apparently
was already rubbing shoulders with famous people long before Donald Trump set his gaze
on the highest office in the nation.
Being raised in Calabasas California, she actually grew up in the same town as the Reality
TV-famous Kardashian family.
She told People Magazine that she “knew them a little”, and that her mom was friends
with Kris.
11.
Tiffany: “Instagram Rich Kid” There’s a trend where children of the rich
and super-famous elite of the world take to Instagram in droves and regale us all with
tales and snapshots of their fabulous lives.
Though this is rarely purely a way to flaunt their wealth and usually just another case
of a young person posting about their life, however extraordinary, on social media, it’s
seen as a bit of a cliche.
Tiffany Trump is no exception to this rule, and is well-known for her robust and flashy
Instagram profile.
However, ever since her father declared his candidacy for the office of President, it
seems she’s curtailed some of the more risque images of her party lifestyle - even going
through and deleting old posts.
10.
Tiffany: Considering Law School Having already graduated from college, many
people are keeping an eye on Tiffany Trump to see what she does next.
There are reports that she’s considering attending Law School next, and is specifically
considering enrolling at Harvard Law School.
She’s been seen touring the campus there, but has not admitted publicly that she’s
considering it for furthering her education.
This would of course bolster her position as a power player in the Trump lineup - and
would potentially lead to her having a definitive position somewhere in her father’s administration.
9.
Ivanka: Grew Up Famous Being born in Manhattan as the daughter of
a high-profile businessman and socialite is bound to have a profound effect on a child’s
mind.
This was certainly the case for Ivanka Trump, who grew up surrounded by paparazzi and the
media.
This got even worse after her parents split up - Ivanka opted to stay with her father,
and the press would hound her constantly for details about Donald’s new relationship
with Marla Maples.
She was reportedly even asked, at the age of 9, if it was true that Marla had said that
Donald Trump was the “best sex of her life”.
Despite this kind of adversity, Ivanka took an active role in promoting her father’s
business ventures, and seems to have grown up with a pretty good head on her shoulders.
8.
Ivanka: Interest In The Stage We may now know Ivanka Trump as a prominent
businesswoman and the daughter of the President of the United States, but she once had her
sights set on a different stage than the World Theater.
In fact, Ivanka once aspired to be a ballerina, going as far as to perform in the timeless
Nutcracker play at the Lincoln Center during her youth, which propelled her to try out
for similar roles.
Though she says she did enjoy it, Ivanka says that her interest dwindled after auditioning
for, and subsequently not getting, a role in Les Miserables.
Somewhat ironically, her shoe line now carries footwear for ballerinas.
7.
Ivanka: Self Made Although she of course had a leg up on most
people in the world, Ivanka Trump has done quite a bit to create her own business enterprise,
rather than just ride her father’s coat tails.
She’s worked hard to start several businesses, including clothing lines, jewelry lines, handbags,
and more.
Her brands are carried in high-end department stores all over the world, and she’s also
made great strides in promoting the roles of women in the workplace.
For all of her work, she’s amassed a fortune of her own - Ivanka’s net worth is reportedly
at least $150 million.
This also isn’t to count her husband’s net worth, which is reportedly as high as
$200 million.
In any case, the new generation of Trump heirs seem to be doing quite well for themselves.
6.
Tiffany: Dating A Democrat Although Tiffany Trump has exuded support
for her father’s campaign and subsequent victory for the position of President of the
United States, her current boyfriend is apparently a card-carrying Democrat and Hillary Clinton
supporter.
Ross Mechanic, who says he’s registered as a Democrat, has been known to express support
for the Left on his social media profiles.
That said, he reportedly has a strong sense for business and his political differences
don’t seem to have come between himself and Tiffany as a couple.
5.
Ivanka: Business-Savvy Husband It can be easy to expect that a business mogul
from the Trump family would overshadow any potential suitor, but this isn’t necessarily
the case in the marriage of Ivanka and Jared.
The couple met during a business meeting, and Jared Kushner himself owns a number of
companies in addition to being a prominent real estate developer.
At just 25 years old, he purchased the New York Observer.
It’s clear that the two are a power couple, and it’s obvious why they related enough
to one another to eventually marry.
4.
Ivanka: Mixing Business And Politics It’s almost a cliche when you’re thinking
about the name Trump nowadays to think of an opportunistic, eager businessperson.
Ivanka’s no exception to this rule, and apparently has already been called out for
using her position in her father’s Presidential administration to stir up interest in her
various apparel lines.
Shortly after giving speeches on her father’s campaign trail, media would apparently receive
an email from Ivanka’s staff with details about the outfit she’d been wearing, and
where the individual pieces could be purchased.
3.
Tiffany: Music Career Like many daughters of the super-elite, Tiffany
Trump apparently attempted to launch a music career when she was just 17 years old.
Her first single, called Like A Bird, was released in 2014 to mixed reviews.
Critics said the song was extremely auto-tuned, to the point of annoyance, and that this made
them wonder if she had a real singing ability at all.
While we’re sure she would have liked for the song to have become a hit, Tiffany told
Oprah Winfrey during an interview that she recorded the song while she was trying to
figure out where to go with her career.
2.
Ivanka: Boycotting Though even her opponents admit that Ivanka
has held herself with poise all throughout her father’s rocket-like ascent to the highest
office, there is now a fairly large movement to boycott her clothing lines - as well as
the stores which carry them.
Opponents of the Trump Administration have rallied themselves behind this idea, and are
pointing to the fact that many pieces in her lines are manufactured abroad, despite her
support for her father’s nationalistic leanings.
They are of course free to do so, but it’s unclear if the stores carrying Ivanka clothes
are likely to listen.
1.
Ivanka: Friends With Chelsea Despite now being political rivals, Ivanka
Trump is reportedly close friends with Chelsea Clinton.
It’s said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, but we think it’s understandable
for Ivanka to seek out the friendship of one of the few people in the world who really
stands a chance of relating to her, regardless of where they might be on their families’
threat radars.
For her part, Chelsea says that she and Ivanka are “absolutely friends”, and that she’s
grateful for that friendship even despite the bitter rivalry between her own mother
and Ivanka’s father.
