Why I think giving Trump's children a platform is a big FAIL.

[Doodley]

Trump has made a connection by being seen as an everyman who speaks plainly, "says it the way it is," and empathizes with the concerns of paranoid, low-education, white voters who feel they aren't getting their fair share and are not listened to by the establishment elite.

But what about his children? How are they connecting with Trump supporters?

Do they look like they are "of the people for the people?"

Or do they look like spoiled brats who haven't done a day of real work and haven't got a clue and think they can tell Trump supporters what is wrong with public schools and welfare programs?

Do Trump's children share his common touch? Do they show how somebody with a small loan from their father can be a yuuuuge success, or are they too polished, too smartly dressed, too well-spoken, too stiff, too educated, too privileged, too entitled, and exactly the things that Trump supporters despise?

I would be interested to hear your views.

5. WTF?

Overproduced and auto-tuned...a complete assault on my ears.

Her "aw shucks" routine was vomit inducing and a complete lie. Par for the course for that family.

[Doodley]

14. Better than I thought, but shows that just about anyone can cut a record if they have money.

2. It was a prank, I think

Check out MineralMan's post and his responses:

He seems well-versed in the art of the prank. The key to this is the "signature" which you observed, Doodley.

3. They're all vomit inducing.

15. Doctors are already using their speeches to make OD patients throw up.

4. I have thought about this a little this morning

I was trying to think of a president's child or candidate's child who has lived an american's reality and I can't think of one. Amy carter going to public school? Maybe but she also lived in the governors mansion prior to that having household help at her every whim. I don't think it's possible for a politicians child to relate to average Americans. I mean the trumps working at 12 outside with blue collar workers could have helped but when you go home to the mansion with household help it doesn't seem realistic.

[Doodley]

17. No it doesn't. They never once had to worry one time about paying bills and buying food.

[yeoman6987]

23. So very true.

6. The Trump's Are Not The Kennedy's.....

nough said!!!

[Ms. Yertle]

10. True, the Trumps are not the Kennedys

but, the Kennedys have been extremely privileged for many generations. I read that during the Great Depression, the Kennedy kids rode to school in a limousine.

7. They come off like "Please vote for my Daddy".

Big difference between the spawn of Trump advocating for the election of their father (with the threat of disinheritance always looming) versus someone like Alice Roosevelt Longworth campaigning for TR. Alice at least had some political savvy (President's daughter and wife of the Speaker of the House) and integrity.

9. Great point!

8. Trump's not running for president. He's auditioning for king.

This is how royal families behave when they have no practice at acting civilized.

[Doodley]

18. Exactly. Kings also want to put their opposition in prison.

[underpants]

11. They stink of white privilege

[Doodley]

19. They make white privilege look like the new under-privilage

[BigDemVoter]

12. What have any of them EVER done?

They are spoiled, pampered and entitled whiners who never would have made it had their dad not bought everything for them--lock, stock and barrel. It's disgusting to hear them pontificate about "hard work" and "opportunities." Yeah, they had "opportunities" while the rest of America had to WORK.

[Doodley]

20. They are freeloaders like their Daddy. Sucking the lifeblood out of mere mortals.

[Blue Idaho]

13. Let's face it, they're all he's got.

From what I've seen so far, the speakers list is a mostly a bunch of nobodies. Any sane celebrity, politician, musician, or former president isn't even in Cleveland. They have careers to consider. Trump promised a cavalcade of stars. In the end what we are seeing looks like the residents of the Island of Misfit Toys.

[Doodley]

21. And they have no credibility reading speeches others have written to support their rich Daddy.

[Blue Idaho]

24. Totally! nt.

[jcgoldie]

16. yes "a small loan"

of $1,000,000 according to Trump himself. Wish I could get a small loan.

[Doodley]

22. And that was a long time ago. What is even more significant is that his Daddy

had tens of thousands of rental properties in New York in the 1970s. Do the math on house price values now. Even if Trump was really worth 10 billion, as he claims, that is a massive loss from where Fred Trump's empire was. Trump's business is nothing more than a vanity project for an idiot.
