She is often seen in photos on Instagram partying with her posse, wearing the most expensive designer clothes and jewelry. It must be really nice to be Tiffany Trump.
His Sons are Hunters
Donald’s two oldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric are hunters. When they aren’t helping their father run his billion dollar corporation, they go hunting for sport. Most of the hunts are not very newsworthy, however, there was one that was very controversial. In 2012, his sons went on a big game hunt in Zimbabwe. They took a variety of photos of themselves with their kills, including an elephant, a kudu, a civet cat, and a waterbuck. The photo of the boys that stirred up the most trouble was of the boys holding a leopard that they recently killed. Animal rights activists were outraged at the photos. The boys defended themselves, saying that when they hunt they don’t waste. They stated that they gave the meat to the local villagers who were very grateful for the food that they were given. Regardless of their defense, there are many people who find their practices cruel and wasteful. Donald Jr. fought back offering to debate his side of the argument.
Many of His Children Followed In His Collegiate Footsteps
Donald Trump Sr. went to the University of Pennsylvania and he earned his degree. Donald Jr, Ivanka, and Tiffany all followed in his footsteps and they got degrees from the school as well. Only two of his children didn’t attend the school. His son Eric chose a different path and his son Baron, who is only 10 years old, hasn’t started thinking about college yet. He hasn’t even reached junior high. Only time will tell if he will be the 4th Trump kid to attend the University of Pennsylvania.
Barron Trump is a Young Version of His Father
Melania Trump, Donald’s wife has done several interviews over the past two years. In most of her interviews, the major topic is her pride and joy, her son with Donald, Barron. According to Melania, Barron is a mini version of Donald. She says that he enjoys wearing suits like his father. He also enjoys playing chess like Donald and the two often go golfing together. Like his father, he loves living in the penthouse of the Trump Towers on 5th Avenue. It is likely because he has an entire floor to himself. Melania refers to the floor as Barron’s living room. It is unclear how much stuff he has to fill an entire penthouse floor, however, we do know that he decorates his walls with airplanes and helicopters, and he will only sleep on crisp, white bedding.
Tiffany Keeps Busy
As mentioned above, Tiffany followed in her father’s footsteps and attended the University of Pennsylvania and she recently graduated. Most people would think that this would make Donald proud, however, he wasn’t as proud as you might think. In an interview, he says that while his is proud of Tiffany, he is not as proud of her as he is of her older brothers and sister. He says that the reason for this is that his older children have already gone out into the world and have accomplished things. He said that Tiffany just graduated from college and hasn’t done much yet to make him proud.
After graduation, Tiffany spent the summer traveling the world on her parent’s dime. She visited places like Greece and London and staying in her father’s hotels and even The Hamptons. When Tiffany was 17 years old, she tried to make her father proud again by becoming a pop star and recording an album. Unfortunately, the album didn’t do very well and most people had never heard it until her father started his campaign. Finally, Tiffany had an internship at Vogue magazine while she was still in college. She didn’t get the internship on her own, however, it was her sister Ivanka who secured the internship for her.
Ivanka’s Modeling and Her Documentary
When Ivanka was a teenager, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a model. According to Donald Trump, he wasn’t completely supportive of her modeling. He said that it was a very fast paced life and he didn’t want Ivanka to get caught up in it and make mistakes that could affect her for the rest of her life. She didn’t listen to her father and she continued to model for a few years. In 2003, Ivanka was featured in a documentary called Born Rich. It was a documentary about her experience growing up in rich and being part of one of the most wealthy and well-known families in the world. After going to work with her father, she also became a New York Times best-selling author.
Donald Trump Jr. Has Never Submitted a Resume
Being the son of Donald Trump means that there are always a variety of jobs at your disposal. Currently, Donald Jr. is the Executive Vice President of development and acquisition for the Trump Organization. This is not a job that he had to go on several interviews to get. It was waiting for him after he graduated from college. When you are the son of such a powerful man, you have no reason to submit a resume anywhere, let alone even write one.

It has been reported the Melania Trump does not have a nanny to help her care for her 10 year old son, Barron. She believes in being a hands-on parent. Donald Jr, Ivanka, and Eric didn’t have quite the same experience when they were children. According to reports, neither Donald or Ivana was present for much of the three children’s lives. They spent most of their time with nannies, security guards, and Ivana’s parents. For 6 months of the year, Ivana’s parents lived with the family to help take care of the kids. According to Eric, his older brother Donald Jr also helped raise him and he was his mentor. The kids all say that they love their father and they appreciate him, but he worked 24 hours a day.

Ivanka and Eric Couldn’t Vote in the New York Primary
The New York Primary election caused a great deal of embarrassment for the Trump family. When it came time to vote, Ivanka and Eric couldn’t vote for their father because they weren’t registered. To save face, they told Anderson Cooper that New York has strict rules in terms of registering to vote, and they were informed that they should have registered way in advance if they were going to be allowed to vote in the primary election. You can be sure that all of Donald Trump’s kids were registered to vote in the Presidential Election, except Barron who is still too young.
