"Tiffany Trump was referred to as the "red-haired stepchild"

Ivanka Trump joined family’s ‘casual cruelty’ toward Tiffany, Michael Cohen writes
Tiffany Trump was treated differently than her half-siblings who were known for their ‘incessant competitiveness and egomania,’ writes Trump’s former personal attorney writes in his new book.

(snip)

In the Trump family, 26-year-old Tiffany Trump was referred to as the “red-haired stepchild,” one of the many ways Cohen said she was disparaged and treated differently than her siblings. Cohen wrote that Ivanka Trump joined in this “casual cruelty” because she “jealously guarded her position as Trump’s favorite and surrogate, even at the expense of her vulnerable younger sister.”

After Tiffany graduated from college, she asked her father to call Anna Wintour, the editorial director of Condé Nast, to arrange an internship at Vogue magazine. Cohen said he and Ivanka Trump were present when Trump mused on whether to support Tiffany’s idea of pursuing a career in fashion.

“I don’t think Tiffany has the look,” Trump said to Cohen and to Ivanka Trump, who had worked as a model in her teens. “She just doesn’t have what you have, honey.”

“I agree, Daddy,” said Ivanka Trump, according to Cohen. That was how the future president and his oldest daughter referred to each other: “Daddy and honey,” Cohen added.

“She just doesn’t have the look is the right way to say it, Daddy,” Ivanka Trump agreed.

... Tiffany for a long time. Heard some stories about how she was not treated well... but, after seeing her at the Republican Convention, I changed my mind. She was full-blown Trump. Now that she's one of the gang, I expect she'll respond by calling Cohen a liar...

maybe some day she'll come to terms with it all, and find acceptance in who she is, all by herself. I don't know why it is so damn easy for me to find empathy for people I don't even know. It's kind of sick.

And she wears terrible clothes.

I am not a shallow person, but this is fact. No opinion on Tiffany.
