14. I didn't and won't watch it.

It sounds like they were trying to be "playful" for Father's Day which is upcoming.

The problem is that they are ALL absolutely HORRIFIC people. Just not a shred of decency in any of them. So any attempts at normal interaction seem twisted and sad.

You can imagine President Obama being interviewed by Sasha or Malia or President Clinton by Chelsea. There would be a natural flow of conversation by people who share love, respect, and can be playful with each other. For Trump and his offspring, everything is transactional and I may be speaking out of turn, but I do not get the impression that there is any genuine feelings of love between them. I mean the kids may "love" Trump out of a sense of obligation and a fantasy bond, that is common in children with estranged parents. You can, however, tell from their interactions that they are not comfortable with each other and there is something very off.

That leads to the sad, pathetic vibe that is given when they try to do something "natural".
