We don’t hear too often from Donald Trump‘s all-but-estranged daughter, Tiffany, but when we do, it’s usually about things like kittens, butterflies, playing with bubbles, or her supercute boyfriend. Rarely does she weigh in on serious current events.
Except for yesterday, when she posted the black square for #BlackoutTuesday. Oddly, however, she chose to include a quote from Helen Keller, a white disability rights activist, rather than, say, a Black civil rights leader.
“‘Alone we can achieve so little; together we can achieve so much.’- Helen Keller #blackoutTuesday #justiceforgeorgefloyd,” Tiffany’s caption read.
Don’t get us wrong. Helen Keller’s great! But we’re really not sure how she factors into any of what’s going on in the country right now.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Tiffany also shared the post on Twitter, where it received a mixed response…
If you can’t come out and protest, your words are just letters.

What have you done?? How have you contributed?

Please tell your father to spread love and not hate 🙏🏽.

Your dad is an awful person but I’m hopeful that you are different! ❤️

good lord, you are tone deaf.

Tiffany, you seem like an outlier in the Trump group. Run, while you still can, as fast and far as you can.

While people appreciate this, they need more from you if you want to make a difference.

I know you mean well..but unfortunately you have that last name.

Some people noted that, while the 26-year-old seemed to be showing solidarity with Black Lives Matter protestors, just days earlier she had retweeted several inflammatory tweets written by her father.
I had hoped you were trolling your father woth this, but I see you retweeted a bunch of his tweets. So disappointing.

And while she used the hashtags #blackouttuesday and #justiceforgeorgefloyd, she didn’t use the hashtags #blacklivesmatter or #BLM. She also neglected to mention the Black Lives Matter movement anywhere in her post.
Despite her delicate tiptoeing around the issue, many of Tiffany’s dad’s supporters did not appreciate what she may or may not have been implying with the post.
Honestly, we’re really not sure what Tiffany’s goals were in sharing the #BlackoutTuesday post, but we’re fairly certain she didn’t achieve them.

The Second Daughter. Bless her heart.

Definitely tone deaf on her part, however it’s pretty reductive to say Keller was only a disability rights activist. She was a radical socialist, donated to Black causes and was instrumental in the founding of the ACLU. But yeah, Tiffany is not the one.

Good grief. Give her a break. How would like to have grown up with Donald Trump as your father?
rocknstan
Tone deaf and ill-informed, too.
Of course she doesn’t know that Helen Keller was a socialist.

A socialist, and apparently quite the sex fiend as well, enjoying three ways as well as one on one. After all, the sense of touch and taste were pretty much all she had.
missvamp
wow- she’s super special. no wonder she’s kept far away from the white house.

NIce use of a curling iron, Tiffs!

Using the term “tone deaf” is in itself tone deaf, isn’t it?
