Anyone who keeps saying Trump, or Republicans in general for that matter, "support and respect the military." That's just a slogan they used for votes. In reality their Lord and Savior pretending to be President continuously demeans a war hero, mocks a famous general, and once insisted he went to a private school that was more military than actual military school.

As if dodging the draft due to falsified claims of bone spurs wasn't enough.

So, for you, supporting the military means that Marla should have continued to receive the $100k support payment for a child that was no longer in her care; no longer "a child"; and chose to embrace adulthood by joining the military?
ok, your reasoning is clear now.

Donald Trump was willing to spend more money to keep a porn star silent than he was willing to spend on child support if his daughter joined the Peace Corps for a year. The man knows what he wants to buy with his money. Certainly any money that might end up in his kid's pocket while serving in the military or the Peace Corps might actually be a motivation to perform such a service. But Donald Trump specifically included service to our country as a reason to no longer provide child support. Do you think Donald Trump thought Tiffany would join the military or the Peace Corps to make a lot of money?

How many of you non-billionaires would specifically exclude Peace Corps service from child support in a PRE-NUP? If you ask me, it takes a special kind of billionaire asshole to do so.

i missed thr link to the actual prenup that confirms yours assertion that the list was exclusive to "service to our country".
Though i did notice that while most child support payments end when child is 18,Trump agreed to pay until child was 21.

Child support is payment by one parent to the other parent to pay the parent’s share of the cost of raising the child. If Tiffany is in the Peace Corps, her mother is incurring zero expenses for a two year period at a minimum. So, it’s reasonable to terminate child support at 21. Child support in my state typically ends at age 18, when the child becomes an adult. The three exceptions in the pre-nup all anticipate situations in which Tiffany needs no financial support from either parent.

Res, to that point, isn't the Peace Corps or military service viewed as a type of 'emancipation' of the child, which is a common reason to terminate support?
