Donald Trump’s Kids: Social Trends
Donald Trump’s Kids: Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump, American businessman and Republican nominee, emphasized his close relationship with his family. He has three children — the three oldest of which spoke at last year’s Republican National Convention — and eight grandchildren.
Donald Trump Jr., son
Donald Trump Jr., 37, is the oldest child of Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana Trump. He currently works along in the position of Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization.
Ivanka Trump, daughter
The first Trump daughter, Ivanka, is also a child of his first wife, Ivana, and the middle sister to Donald Jr. and Eric. She appeared occasionally on The Apprentice and formally served as an executive vice president to the Trump Organization alongside her two brothers, but is taking a leave of absence for her father’s presidency. Like her big brother, Ivanka graduated from University of Pennsylvania and followed in her mom’s modeling footsteps when she was younger. In 1997, she hosted the Miss Teen USA pageant (which is partially owned by her dad).
Though her father has faced harassment allegations and rumors that he favors attractive female employees, she says he’sa feminist and has consistently talked about how he encouraged her success: “He always told me and showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to if I married vision and passion with work ethic,” she said in July.
Like her dad, Ivanka is a businessperson. She has her own fashion brand, but, thanks to Donald Trump’s lewd comments about grabbing women that leaked during the campaign, people have started boycotting it. She is also taking a leave of absence from her fashion brand while her father is in office.
Ivanka’s first magazine cover, back in her modeling days, was Seventeen:
She has a longtime friendship with Chelsea Clinton, although that friendship might be on the rocks as of late
Eric Trump, son
Eric Trump, 33, is Donald Trump’s third child and the last child he had with Ivana Trump. He serves as an executive vice president at Trump Organization.
During his RNC speech on July 20, Eric said that his dad once told Oprah he would run for president “only if it got so bad that I had no choice. “Eric added, “Well, ladies and gentlemen, that day has come.”
