6. You know how some fathers indulge their children, and sometimes, especially a daughter?

Not in any real meaningful way, but more of a condescending, my daughter is the best in the world and she has her little causes and charities, which I encourage - no matter how much I don't listen (or care) - kind of way.

More like the isn't she cute being all serious about this stuff sexism?

IT will do her "listening tour", give her opinion, and her father will do what he wants to do anyway.

Now, he could decide to remain party to the Paris climate deal, but it won't be because of his daughter. It will be because some foreign (male) leader calls him up and explains the need for it.

Like every other time.

This tour is part of the persona being shaped that IT is trying to learn....but her latest book shows how much she is capable of actually learning. She lives in a bubble and won't step outside of it to learn anything else. Just look to who she is going to talk to on this "listening tour".

The idea that Trump, who views all women as secondary and an afterthought, somehow respects his daughter is laughable. He is proud of her, yes - but more for the way she looks, how much she conforms to how he thinks women should be, and how he looks having her as a daughter.
