have you ever wondered what donald trump
jr's college years were like
did you know tiffany trump was once an
aspiring pop star
who is the favorite trump kid we answer
those questions and more with a peek
inside the secret lives of the trump
children
in america's elite boarding schools
upper class offspring gain independence
from high
achieving parents prepare for the ivy
league and learn how to be
outstanding members of high society but
for the older trump children being sent
away to boarding school
provided some much-needed distance from
their parents eric trump and donald
trump jr were whisked away to boarding
school
in the wake of their father's
extramarital affair with marla maples
don jr found school to be a relief from
the usual tabloid headlines and constant
security guards
he told new york magazine when i went to
boarding school it all kind of went away
all those inconveniences that i found
obtrusive
he reportedly didn't speak to his father
for a year or attend his 1993 wedding to
maples
a few years later fifteen-year-old
ivanka trump followed a similar path
out of her parents hair and into an
elite private boarding school in
connecticut
she told marie claire in 2007 i think my
mom threatened to put me up for adoption
a few times
then i was all of a sudden in the prison
of boarding school life and all my
friends in new york were having fun
in ivana trump's memoir raising trump
she claimed it was her decision
to name don jr after his father at the
time the older donald reportedly
protested
you can't do that what if he's a loser
the very start of don jr's life
according to gq
was similarly fraught shortly after he
was born on new year's eve 1977
his father went home to ring in the new
year and his mother reportedly put a boa
and a mink over her hospital gown
and went to visit a friend on another
hospital floor
then under the watch of his first nanny
don jr broke his leg
and almost drowned ivana wrote in her
book that an adolescent don jr
quote expressed his pain with anger and
he was really angry
during college he had a reputation for
getting into drunken fights
in 2010 the younger donald told a
journalist he felt pressure to live up
to his father's name
saying you want to please someone like
that and he's a perfectionist
there's definitely always that shadow
that follows you around
like how is this guy the son of someone
so good at what he does
going to act in his own 2019 memoir
triggered
don jr wrote that he eventually gave up
drinking for good
given his family's history with
destructive alcoholism
he realized his partying was in his
words a recipe for disaster
on father's day 2020 don jr interviewed
his father
and jokingly asked which is your
favorite trump child
and why is it ivanka
a wise guy over here don jr previously
stated that ivanka is their father's
favorite child in a 2015 interview with
barbara walters
and eric and tiffany seemingly agreed
donald confirmed it himself in a 2004
profile for new york magazine
when the journalist asked him if there
was any favorite playing among his
children
trump answered come on daddy's little
girl though tiffany was 11 years old at
the time donald was referring to his
oldest daughter
he went on to say let me tell you one
thing ivanka is a great great beauty
every guy in the country wants to go out
with my daughter donald's remarks about
his eldest daughter have raised eyebrows
for years
when she was 16 years old and hosting
the 1997
miss teen usa beauty pageant donald
reportedly called ivanka hot
according to the new york times he also
told howard stern she's actually always
been very voluptuous
trump then agreed with stern after the
radio host called ivanka a piece of ass
i've said that if ivanka weren't my
daughter perhaps i'd be dating her
oh it's so weird over the years ivanka
has drawn
attention not only as donald trump's
daughter but also as a model
fashion designer judge on the apprentice
and an active participant in her dad's
presidential administration
but his other daughter tiffany hasn't
been exposed to nearly as much limelight
because of their 12-year age difference
and the fact that tiffany was born as a
result of their father cheating on
ivanka's mother
outsiders may assume there's some bad
blood between the half-sisters
but based on ivanka's first book the
trump card playing to win
in work and life ivanka seemed to take
her big sister role in stride
when a 15 year old tiffany told ivanka
about her anxiety over asking their
father for an allowance
ivanka took matters into her own hands
she wrote in the book
big sis did an end around to save
tiffany the trouble i didn't tell her of
course but i went to our father
and suggested he think about surprising
tiffany with a credit card for christmas
with a small monthly allowance on it
the plan worked and according to ivanka
the gesture built tiffany's gratitude
for
and trust in her big sis like ivanka
tiffany tried on multiple hats outside
of the family's traditional real estate
path and its new political path
in 2011 at the age of 17 tiffany
released a pop song called
like a bird at the time she expressed an
interest in pursuing a professional
music career
and was working towards a full album the
songstress reportedly had eight
additional tracks in the works
but like a bird never took flight
tiffany eventually abandoned her dreams
of pop stardom
in favor of pursuing a more traditional
trump path attending the university of
pennsylvania's wharton school of
business
as donald don jr and ivanka had to
pursue a ba in sociology
while at penn she landed an internship
with vogue with a little help from
ivanka and made her runway debut during
new york fashion week in 2016.
in may 2020 tiffany graduated with a jd
from the georgetown university law
center in washington dc
don jr made headlines by appearing in
marketing materials for desert tech
a gun company operated by an extremist
polygamous religious sect starting on
july 24th
2020 the company posted multiple social
media posts and a promotional video
which featured the first son shooting
rifles in utah
don jr commented on some of the
instagram posts saying
awesome time guys can't wait to do it
again soon
great being with you guys awesome stuff
one of the photos featured donald jr
posing in a desert tech hat alongside
the company's founder nicholas young
according to cbs news young holds an
influential position in religious sect
the order which has been deemed a hate
group by the southern poverty law center
for its anti-black and anti-lgbt
teachings since spring 2020 the u.s
government have been trying to seize
desert tech's headquarters
in the wake of an alleged billion dollar
fraud scheme perpetrated by several
other high-ranking members of the sect
although neither young nor desert tech
were directly implicated in any crimes
related to that ongoing federal
investigation
many criticized don jr's association
with the company
in response to the backlash john
junior's representative released a
statement which read in part
don routinely gets offers from second
amendment enthusiasts from around the
country
he had never met the owner of desert
tech prior to going shooting with him
has no personal relationship with him
only spoke to him about shooting
the donald j trump foundation was a
private organization that dissolved in
2019
as the result of a court order in 2017
the foundation was criticized for
funneling 100 000
of donations for child cancer patients
through the eric trump foundation
into donald j trump foundation revenue
according to forbes more than
hundred thousand dollars in donations
for sick children were redonated to
charities
including organizations that were
directly tied to trump family business
interests
and those who paid to host golf
tournaments on trump properties
eric started the eric trump foundation
in 2007 to raise money for the saint
jude children's research hospital
and stopped fundraising once his father
was elected president
in 2018 the donald j trump foundation
agreed to shut down in the wake of its
controversies which included the misuse
of funds as well as other instances
where charitable contributions were used
for business purposes and other trump
enterprises
at the time then u.s attorney general
barbara underwood
said the trump foundation functioned as
little more than a checkbook to serve mr
trump's business and political interests
there's no reason why a foundation owned
and operated by a sitting president
should be exempt from the laws that we
routinely apply
shortly after donald trump won the 2016
election
his wife melania and their son barron
made headlines for choosing to stay at
trump tower in new york while donald
moved into the white house
melania and barron stayed in manhattan
for nearly five months so that
nine-year-old baron could finish his
school year
before moving to the white house in june
2017.
it's no surprise baron would be
reluctant to leave the trump tower where
he reportedly had an entire floor to
himself as
town and country claimed donald
confirmed his son's lack of enthusiasm
about the so-called downgrade
he told people magazine in 2016 he does
love new york and he loves his school
he does like what he's got right now
that would be a whole change of life
and while swapping a whole floor for a
single bedroom probably didn't appeal to
a kid who was accustomed to the high
life
the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 seemed
to make things
even worse asked by reporters in april
2020 how his son was dealing with
shelter in place orders donald said
baron is like everyone else i mean
everything is shut down
he's in his room he's happy but he's not
as happy as he could be
