Tiffany was kept away from her father (lived in California with her mother) and has a distant relationship with him. From the brief bits I’ve seen she is close to ivanka, and ivanka is a go between for Tiffany and their father. Trump is not very involved in his kids lives. It has been speculated that the reason the older siblings went into the company was to have some sort of relationship with him. The interesting spanner in the relationship works is that ivanka is distancing from trump. ---

Re: Cassidy’s book. Don’t bother. It sucks. I threw away a Audible credit on it. Most of it is personal biography that has nothing to do with politics, although it is an interesting story as to what a complete psycho her father was, and all the salacious bits you already know - they were headlines, they were detailed in several articles, there is nothing more in the book that adds anything to what you don’t already know. Not to mention that it reads like it’s designed for a remedial class and her reading voice will put you to sleep. ---

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but a distinguished Trump appointee in the State Department, **[shown here wearing a red MAGA hat](https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/03/politics/federico-klein-trump-state-department-january-6-us-capitol/index.html)**, was apparently being a typical loyal Trumpist on January 6. For his commendable efforts on that day, which included assaulting Capitol police, he’s been sentenced to nearly 6 years in prison. ---

To add to the fun, the publisher that’s suing Mark Meadows is All Seasons Press, a right-wing startup that touts itself as “welcoming” to right-wing nutjobs who have been rejected by mainstream publishers, which it regards as leftist, woke, and “politically correct”. **[They’re currently promoting a glowing biography of one of their iconic heroes, Tucker Carlson, and a hit piece on Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr.](https://www.allseasonspress.com/store)**😆 ---
