The whole bloody lot of them. Which may be a commentary of American values in the 21st century.

Tiffany Trump seems to have escaped her malignant family.

She seems to be the rejected one in the family. She doesn't have a place at the table since Donald moved into the Oval Office. Tiffany grew up on the West Coast while her mom pursued a career in acting and modeling following her divorce. She rarely saw her siblings or her father growing up.

Daddy did buy her a penthouse apartment in mid-town Manhattan however. So she's still a spoiled pampered pooch. She made out better than her mama did. Marla got bit by the prenupital agreement Donald insisted she signed before they married.

She's currently living in Europe with her boyfriend. She probably is spoiled. One of the "joys" of being the daughter of someone very rich. Family dinner's in the White House with Daddy and family. UGGGH.

Trump and family are morally bankrupt

Of course. Just like in his business life, Drumpf has filed for moral bankruptcy again and again, at the cost of all those who have had the misfortune of being associated with him.

From Donald Trump's Inaugural:

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America. Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other


Loyalty in the highest value to Donald Trump. Not truth or justice or fairness, but loyalty.

And I'm starting to believe that the concept of loyalty to many right wingers means defending the groups you're loyal to no matter what crimes they commit.

You know... mafia style loyalty.

Good points, Schmo and MeDotOrg. Whether loyalty is a virtue or not depends a great deal on what or whom one is loyal to.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Anyone remember when we forced Jimmy Carter to give up a peanut farm that had been in his family for generations?

http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/you-pe ... e-pr-55143

Boy, times sure have changed, haven’t they? I couldn’t help but notice that the current occupant of the White House owns more than 500 companies, has business interests across the Middle East and Asia, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to banks he is now responsible for regulating. It seems a touch unfair that a bigger fuss was made about my little peanut operation than all his office towers, hotels, and golf courses combined. All I had was a farm, you know? A small, precious farm.

Seriously, it was just a few fields and a warehouse, and you idiots still appointed a special prosecutor and spent six months investigating it.


And now... Satire is literally the truth. Holy. crap. What is wrong with this country?
