My gut says she knew exactly what she was getting into when he first put her up in Trump Tower, at his beck and call. I would be surprised if she was surprised when the Billy Bush thing was released.
It's likely a marriage of convenience for both of them and they both get something out of it, perhaps similar to Hillary/ Bill.
Trump has made clear over the years he is not a good husband.
You are seriously out of the loop. He was very hands-on, and even took the kids to construction sites and let them help in small ways that kids can do. He very much brought them up to be outstanding business people. Statements like yours are why forum features were developed which allow us to ignore people. Congrats. You've earned it. Bye, now!
I'll let Trump respond in his own words.
"I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. 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.”
He also said he would never change a diaper because that's "woman's work."
If I were a Republican President, I would set up my office in Boise, Salt Lake, or Plano, Tx....no Republican should be forced to live in the crap hole place like DC full of hatred of the 150 million Deplorables.
It seems to me that the left likes to pick and choose when the cost of presidential lifestyles impact the tax payer. For example I don't recall the left's outrage at separate Obama vacations, or the 4 million dollar price tag for Obama to go play golf with Tiger Woods, or Michelle's rather expensive garden. The garden that we paid people to tend for the Obamas.
I have no idea what it will cost for Barron Trump to finish out his school year in NYC. Considering the attitudes and venom coming from the left in DC I really don't blame the Trumps for keeping their son away from that environment.
Sounds like this is really a big middle finger to the people of NYC. The security measures that will be required around Trump Tower are going to snarl traffic and be a huge PITA.
Why is Trump raising such a fragile snowflake? Kids move. They change schools. The Obama and Clinton kids managed. Why can't a Trump kid?
The security measures around Trump Tower would still be pretty significant even if the entire family moved to Washington tomorrow as it would be the location of the president's private residence.
I'm not a Republican nor a Bush fan, but I do remember pictures of Bush posted next to pictures of monkeys, etc. on the internet (among other things...throwing a shoe at him for instance...although that wasn't in the U.S.).
Yes, the person who threw the shoe at him was an Iraqi.
I see you joined C-D in January 2016. You missed the thread upon thread upon thread of negative posts about the Obama family for the last eight years.
I appreciate that you are being fair about everything; I hope it lasts.
well , thank you so much for letting me spin it as I like!
and thanks for worrying about my thoughts on the matter even though you
don't usually spend your time like that , I don't see my condemnation though.
Most families aren't the presidential family so can't really compare , imo.
Bottom line is that this is highly unusual and if their son has challenges of any kind
it sure did bring it right to the forefront and has left some people to wonder what is so delicate about this child.
And no I am not miserable at all , let's wait and see how much time that part of his family actually ends
up spending in DC.
It's not unusual at all for parents facing relocation to make those arrangements around allowing for their children to remain in their current schools to either finish out the current year , or in the case of the Obamas, allowing a child to graduate from high school. I've known a number of families where the father moved on ahead to start a new job, and the rest of the family remained behind so the kids could finish out the school year at their current schools.
The specific arrangements each family makes to allow their children to remain in their schools are based on their own situations and knowledge of what would best work for the family members involved, and really isn't subject to judgement by others who are not involved and don't even know the involved parties. And that includes the President-Elect and his family.
