that they are good kids. But if they were, hasn't Trump come out and said that Ivana raised them? It's the woman's job and he paid for everything but she did the actual raising. I remember reading he said that somewhere

I do not have a link for you, but if you were to do an internet search you would find many articles quoting him as saying he did not believe men should change diapers, or take their children for walks. He comes across as a very lazy man.

Eric's speech was actually good -except for the lying.

Donald Jr. is a rich boarding school parody character.

Ivanka doesn't look real. I don't mean that as insinuating anything. She literally looks like a weird anime cartoon.

They all stink of white privilege. Their great skill appears to be getting hired by their father. They live in a bubble and this dumpster fire of a convention shows how unreal the actual world is to them.

They don't look happy and only smile when they are taking a picture. Otherwise, it looks like they are in full pucker.

7. If Raising Good Kids

If raising good kids qualified you to be President than Peyton Manning's parents, Russel Wilson's parents, Melissa Harris-Perry's parents should all run for President. Some would argue that J.J. Watt's mom should be allowed to be President without going through the election.

We usually do not elect people based on whether or not they raised their children right. Trump's kids are not the only children who appear to have been raised right. Most people raise their children right, but most likely we would not elect most of those people President.

Tiffany is a party girl. She was only on stage because she is now an adult. Where is Baron? Hopefully he is not a cardboard cutout.
