I'm glad for Tiffany Trump.

[no_hypocrisy]

Hear me out please.

She has finally escaped the familial bonds of her biological father, Donald J. Trump. Until her wedding, Tiffany has been dependent and under the control of her father for financial survival. All she had to do was to follow his rules, his whims, his demands -- like her siblings. From the moment she was conceived. She knew better than to challenge and to cross her father. He would have cut her off without blinking.

I don't know if she married for love or money or both. But she married someone her father can't threaten because of his wealth. She is safe.

Why do I care? Because I was raised in a similar situation. When my sister married, I knew she was safe. Me, I stayed single and did continuous battle with our father who had plans for me. I defied each demand and suffered as a result. I was freed when he died. Sure, I was disinherited, but I was still free.

So, Tiffany, make the most of your life. You've earned it.

2. While I can't say for sure, my impression is that Marla gave her grounding that

she would not otherwise have had. So, she may be the only relatively unscathed survivor offspring of this horrible clan--although the jury is still out on Barron.

4. She also

Has earned a law degree. Don't know if she passed the Bar, but she had a profession and a better education than her siblings. Good for her!

6. Never Took The Bar

And probably got into Law School based on her connections.

Now married to a Right Wing Billionaire, whose family are TFG supporters, she won't have to ever worry about working, so doubtful she'll ever actually become a lawyer.

8. Law school is hard

She at least made an effort her half siblings never did, thanks to her mother. Not disputing her marriage into a very rich family, but having lived with a law student, I know just how challenging the work is. I won't denigrate her for her efforts. At least she tried to do something for herself.

5. The Guy She Married Is A Right Wing Trumper, As Are His Parents

I'm amazed whenever people here at DU express pity on any Trump not named Eric or Don Jr., as if they aren't part of the Cult.

Tiffany is as much a suck up to daddy as the rest of them, and I have no doubt that Baron will be as well. BOTH his parents are complete and utter Pieces Of Shit.

Tiffany's mom, Marla Maples, may no longer be married to him, but she's still expressed support for him the past 7 years. As did his other ex, the one that's buried on his golf course.

So far as I'm concerned, the only truly decent person associated with TFG, is his estranged niece Mary.

7. Completely agree

Tiffany showed up at rallies and conventions.

Everything Trump touches is ruined including his offspring.

9. I just have to say I am still stunned by her gorgeous wedding dress.

Classy and fitted her to a T. I don't think I've seen a lovlier bride. Good for Tiffany, she was really beautiful.

But the venue decorations were absolutely beyond trashy. Those pom-pom flowers draping the columns were cheap looking and did not do her wedding dress any favors. I imagine melanoma had a hand in that decision, since mar a lardo was the venue.

And Kimberly Gargoyle wearing all black was beyond tacky. You just don't do that at a wedding unless the couple requests it. These morans are so cluless as to proper etiquette.

10. Doing battle with insane RW family.

A number of us southern folks know about that.

Hubby gave up a hell of a lot of $ after standing his ground with his RW family. He got 0; his sister is now very wealthy from inheritance and her hubby's executive salary - she travels to Europe every summer. We never see them & stopped all communication over an argument re: politics.

Life is better w/o those folks.
