It's been lovely to see how effusive and loving these men are. They love each other. They love their wives. They love each other's wives and families. You aren't going to see this from the TrumpPence admin. You'll never see Donald talk about how grateful his is for his wife or kids. He'll talk about how hot and/or successful they are because he thinks that reflects on him but he'll never see him spontaneously express love or gratitude.

^ I actually think the way Ivanka talks about her relationship with her father is incredibly sad.  She actually brags about the fact that he always took her calls when she was a little girl, as if that's something special. No sense that he was the who had the responsibility to keep in touch with her. The whole family basically says that she is the favorite because she was the one who made the effort to keep the relationship going when she was a child. Baron always looks like such a sad little boy. All of this must be a nightmare for him. At least Melania seems like a good mother.

I expect the next administration will provide a jarring contrast.

 

Reminds me of something I read about Trump that was backed up by that PBS documentary. Apparently, Fred his father referred to successful people as "killers" and Fred Jr. who elected to become a pilot instead of the family business was seen as a failure by Fred Sr. who never ceased to tell him so until Fred Jr. drank himself to death.

Years later, when asked about his brother, Donald Trump, eyes slightly downcast, was said to have uttered "Fred...he just wasn't a killer, I guess".

What a family!
