Ivanka was the canary in the coal mine

30. Daddy is and will end as Ivanka's Roy Cohn

He taught her everything she knows, especially how he relates to people. While they're useful, they're gold. When they cease to be useful, they're to be avoided like something you'd scrape off your shoe.

When Cohn was dying, out of money and favor, his 'best friend' Donald stopped acknowledging his existence, even if they passed on the street. Cohn said Trump "pissed ice water". So does Ivanka. Ivanka doesn't care the least bit what he feels or thinks of her.

She's the only one of the kids that learned this lesson. Don Jr and Eric, on some level, care desperately for their father's approval - I'd say love, but I don't think any one of them has the slightest idea what that means. Tiffany's never even been useful. It's pathetic, given that he doesn't care about them, except for their usefulness. He'll rail and rant about Ivanka's betrayal, but he'd do the same to her in a heartbeat.

I don't know how much Baron is Melania's son or Donald's, but Melania's an opportunist as well. I don't think there's enough therapy in the world to survive this tribe well-balanced.

Anyway, karma's a bitch. I try to be a good person, but I just can't bring myself to care.
