Trump's personal assistant fired after comments about Ivanka, TiffanyBy DANIEL LIPPMAN 08/30/2019 04:16 PM EDT
Madeleine Westerhout, who left her White House job suddenly on Thursday as President Trumps personal assistant, was fired after bragging to reporters that she had a better relationship with Trump than his own daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.

(10,156 posts)All the things I wanted to do my dad all criticized. How I never had the potential. Writing, hockey, directing, firefighting, meteorology. Now I work for coca cola at a desk job. It's true that the biggest influence on a boy is his father. But when you completely destroy that child mentally. This is what you get.

(724 posts)My dad fat-shamed me as a kid, constantly told me that I was ugly and stupid. He'd smack me around and, when I was 12, my mom admitted to me that he never wanted a child. I let it torment me for years, never allowing myself the "right" to feel happy. Somehow, I believed that I didn't deserve it. Now, I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm focusing on feeling better about myself and pursuing my dream career.
Don't do what I did and wait. Anything you want to do, allow yourself to do it. I'd hate to think of another person wasting the years that I did, feeling horrible about themselves. You are not your dad's definition of you (thank you to my therapist).
I hope you get to a happier place much sooner than I did.

(3,190 posts)"Yeah, I'm fat. However, I can lose weight. You'll always be an asshole." It tends to shut them up pretty nicely.
Just because you're overweight doesn't make you any less of a person, and definitely not any less of a good person. I read a bit further downthread where you described more of your experiences, and I'm very sorry you had to go through that.

(1,124 posts)Trump tombstone removed from Central Park
By ELIZA COLLINS 03/28/2016 11:31 AM EDT
An unexplained tombstone bearing Donald Trump's name and a play on his iconic campaign slogan mysteriously appeared and then was removed in Central Park over the weekend.
The tombstone, according to photographs shown on Time Warners NY1, had a cross, Trumps name and his date of birth (1946), though it did not show a date of death. It also said Made America Hate Again.
The tombstone popped up over the weekend but was removed by Monday morning.
New York City Parks Department did not immediately respond to request for comment.

(4,608 posts)I'm turning 70. Dad died over 50 years ago. I'm still dealing with it. I really worry about Barron, who is certainly not fat, but narcissistic fathers find many ways of shaming, belittling, undermining, etc.
Jedi Guy
(3,190 posts)Ordinarily I find it sad when a father doesn't spend time with his children. In this particular case, however, I think Barron is fortunate. Hopefully he escapes his childhood without being damaged by his asshole of a father.

(1,124 posts)Putin lacked motive and means to murder Epstein. Trump needed to completely cover his tracks to be reelected, which is the ONLY way he can avoid being prosecuted for several serious crimes.

This is why I mock him for his weight. Because he is so harshly critical of women's bodies and also because he really is just a flabby, fat old fuck.
