Donald Trump is proud of his kids Tiffany and Barron but considers Ivanka as his political heir.

Trump has three kids with his first wife Ivana, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric. He has one kid with his second spouse Marla Maples, Tiffany, and another one with first lady Melania Trump, Barron. Trump already admitted that he is not a hands-on parent but he is very proud of his children.

“Tiffany is a tremendous young woman with a big and beautiful heart. She was always a great student and a very popular person no matter where she went. I am incredibly proud of Tiffany and how well she has done,” Trump said in an email when asked about his youngest daughter, The New York Times reported.

Trump said the same thing about his youngest son, Barron. He once said during a rally that Barron could go into Central Park and get a bigger crowd than Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

“Barron is young, but he’s got wonderful potential,” Trump said of the 13-year-old lad.

However, Trump is most confident of his daughter with Ivana. In fact, among his five kids, he mentioned that Ivana could win the presidential race if she were to join it.

“If she ever wanted to run for president, I think she’d be very, very hard to beat,” Donald said of his daughter.

At present, Ivanka serves is the Advisor to the President. She focuses on education and economic empowerment of women and their families. The first daughter is also dedicated to making more jobs. She is into economic growth through workforce development, skills training and entrepreneurship.

However, according to Vanity Fair’s Eric Lutz, the first daughter might not return to the White House if Trump wins re-election. In an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Ivanka said that she is driven first and foremost by her kids and their happiness. She insisted that they are her top priority and her decisions are always flexible since she will always consider their needs.

Ivanka is also taking some roles that previous first ladies do, due to this, her relationship with Melania has reportedly been strained. The FLOTUS allegedly felt that Ivanka was “invading her turf.” Trump’s presidency created an “odd dynamic” between Melania and Ivanka.
