Michael Cohen is currently plugging his new book “Disloyal: A Memoir” while under house arrest after pleading guilty to eight criminal charges, including lying to Congress and violating campaign finance laws.
In the book, released this week, Cohen devotes several pages to Donald Trump‘s forgotten fourth child, Tiffany, who he says was often referred to as the “red-haired stepchild” behind her back by her family members.
Cohen claims Trump himself would frequently disparage Tiffany and treat her differently from her older siblings. He also says Ivanka joined in on the “casual cruelty” because she “jealously guarded her position as Trump’s favorite and surrogate, even at the expense of her vulnerable younger sister.”
Later in the book, Cohen writes that his own daughter, Samantha, was “amazed and appalled” by the way Trump treated Tiffany.
Samantha and Tiffany became friends while attending the University of Pennsylvania together. During that time, Cohen says, Samantha grew more and more disgusted by the Trumps because of “their incessant competitiveness and egomania.”
“I also really felt for Tiffany and the way she was treated,” Cohen writes. “The pecking order of the kids was painfully apparent. Trump was very specific about his views on the importance of female beauty in measuring the value of women, including inside his own family.”
Cohen also details the time when Tiffany expressed an interest in a fashion career and asked her father if he could possibly put in a call to Anna Wintour to see about getting her an internship at Vogue.
Trump, who was sitting next to Ivanka at the time, allegedly told him, “I don’t think Tiffany has the look.” Then he turned to his eldest daughter, a former teen model, and said, “She just doesn’t have what you have, honey.”
“She just doesn’t have the look is the right way to say it, Daddy,” Ivanka allegedly agreed.
Ultimately, Tiffany chose not to pursue a career in fashion and studied law at Georgetown University instead.
How reliable Cohen is as a source is heavily debatable, but his allegations do line up with remarks made by former White House aide, Madeleine Westerhout.
During a drunken dinner with a group of reporters last year, Westerhout shared Trump’s alleged true feelings about Tiffany, including that he thought she was overweight and that he didn’t like being photographed with her.
After the story broke, Westerhout admitted to everything and says she tried to apologize to Tiffany, texting her, “I am so sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me.” Tiffany never responded and Westerhout was fired.
Tiffany has also not responded to the claims made in Cohen’s book. She has, however, been busy preaching the word of God while campaigning for her father, who she says is a man of faith and “uncompromising heart.”

Trump doesn’t really like anyone but himself. Even though he probably would screw Ivan ka.
Kevan1
Ditto.

What makes you think he hasn’t already? I’m convinced he has, and probably occasionally does to this day, and I’m betting she was probably underage the first time it happened.

If his allegations line up with an independent witness, then no, there is no debating how reliable he is. It’s been corroborated.

Media was SO eager to paint Ivanka as some moderate who was going to soften her dad. The only reason was the worst type of condescending sexism. (Oh ,she’s just a girl, so she must be nice).
No, the entire family is vicious, and Ivanka, more than any of the other kids tries to be a mini-Donald.

Don Jr. likes his cocaine and hookers like it’s still 1982 in his mind.
Eric likes his toy trains and a nice cold juice box.
Tiffany…is desperate for approval.
Ivanka is smart. Of all the kids, she the ‘smartest’, in that she emulates her father in everything. His greed, his cruelty, his indifference, his manipulation of facts and people, his delusions of grandeur. She was ‘smart’ enough to learn her lessons on the knee of a man who sexualized her VERY young, despite being her father.
Of all of Trump’s heirs, I feel most sorry for Barron and Tiffany, and am glad that they will have only a few more years with the awful man who is their genetic donor.
Of course, Melanie will still be around, opportunistic gold digger that she clearly is…look out, old White billionaires! She’s coming for ya!!

Melanoma’s not so young or pretty any more, and now has the Trump name tainting her, along with a lot of bad press.
Any billionaire can do far better, far cheaper, and with far less fuss.
Essie
Ain’t no billionaire coming for that old, used up gold digger. She’s already 50 so when the Dump kicks the bucket she will be close to 60 (unless she divorces him). She carries too much baggage for any billionaire to want to put up with. There are way too may young, beautiful gold diggers out there.

Tiff, honey, get some therapy and stop searching for approval from your daddy. Make your own family far, far away from that piece of garbage. You’ll be happier.

My theory is that her mother Marla Maples gave her the name Tiffany, and Donald didn’t care at the time, but later some of his rich golfing buddies informed him that Tiffany is a “white trash” trailer park name. Donald was mortified and has been embarrassed about this ever since, but of course, can’t ever admit it. So he takes it out on her, the poor thing. It’s amazing she’s not a stripper.
M K
Oh he completely cared about the name, thinking it has class and panache with the Tiffany jewelry store being immediately next door to T-tower.
Heywood Jablowme
@M K: Yeah, that’s about as classy as naming your daughter Prada or Armani. I see Wikipedia sort of agrees with you as it does mention the fact that Trump bought the jewelry store’s air rights in order to allow a higher T-Tower. But I doubt he realized, at the time, that Tiffany is generally a white trash, trailer park, stripper name.

If you were to read Mary Trump’s book, it’s like Trump is recreating the family legacy. Hopefully, the younger children will fare better than Mary Trump’s dad — their late uncle. That’s a nice picture of the two sisters by the way.

Let’ s see: Tiffany wants access to Anna Wintour so Tiffany can go into fashion (Not modeling)….Trump says she doesn’t have “the look” and Madame Plastische agrees. So “the look” to design fashion? Except for, maybe, Tom Ford, most designers aren’t all that attractive–including Anna Wintour. So poor Tiffany goes to school, because, apparently, all she has is brains. I know, I know Ivanka matriculated at Wharton….but so did Dumb Donnie and I’ll bet she cummed loudly there just like Dumb Donnie.

Tiffany is in it for the money. They all are. No one would put up with Donnie if there wasn’t a pay check involved. It’s why Marla went from preparing to dish the dirt while Donnie was running to being silent – she got a check and a promise for Tiffany’s future pay days.

I don’t feel sorry for anyone in this family. Including the idiot wife of this heinous president. They can all stab each other in the back for all I care.
