President Donald Trump and his family members have interesting relationships. From awkward father-daughter dynamics to rumored affairs and high-profile divorces, the Trumps have dealt with it all. These are the most bizarre things Donald Trump has said about his family. One insulting comment about his daughter Tiffany really raised eyebrows (page 9).
1. His oldest son, Donald Jr.

“You can’t do that! What if he’s a loser?”
Talk about pressure. In Ivana Trump’s memoir, Raising Trump, she shared that Donald didn’t actually want to give their firstborn son his name. The mother of three insisted their newborn be named Donald Jr., beginning the boy’s lifelong obligation to make himself useful.
2. His youngest son, Barron

“Jared Kushner did very well yesterday in proving he did not collude with the Russians. Witch Hunt. Next up, 11 year old Barron Trump!”
Even Chelsea Clinton has asked people to stop involving the now-12-year-old in White House politics. But shortly after most agreed Barron deserved his privacy, Trump tweeted about his youngest son, implying he should get involved in the Russia investigation. Many Twitter users jumped to Barron’s defense, telling Trump to leave his son out of it and accusing him of being hypocritical.
3. Melania’s parents

“I was there for about 13 minutes. We landed. I said, Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. Bye.”
We don’t hear a lot about Melania’s parents. News sources noted a marriage to Trump came with the promise that Melania would never have to return to Eastern Europe. They did visit once. President Trump told Larry King about his brief visit to Slovenia — not an impressive way to meet your in-laws.
4. His daughter Ivanka

“Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?”
President Trump will never live down his comments about Ivanka’s body. The first recorded incident of inappropriateness occurred when a 16-year-old Ivanka Trump hosted the 1997 Miss Universe Pageant. According to the Independent, Donald asked the then-Miss Universe and asked about Ivanka’s hotness, and she didn’t know how to respond.
5. His father, Fred C. Trump

“This way, I got Manhattan all to myself!”
When his father died in 1999, Donald’s quote in his New York Times obituary showed their odd relationship. Donald expressed his condolences by expressing relief that his father didn’t expand his real estate empire into Manhattan. “It was good for me,” he said. “… It could have been competition to me. This way, I got Manhattan all to myself!”
6. Melania’s performance in bed

“Well, she is terrific in bed. She wouldn’t want me to say that, but she is.”
The president isn’t exactly known for his decorum, which is why when Howard Stern asked him about remarrying after being divorced twice Trump gave a crude answer about his sex life with Melania. On The Howard Stern Show in 2004, he elaborated that she is terrific in bed.
7. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“Don, you can finally do something for me — you can go hunting.”
The President never understood his eldest son’s love of hunting, according to GQ. He once told TMZ, “I am not a believer in hunting, and I’m surprised they like it.” However, Trump finally found value in Donal Trump Jr.’s hobby during his presidential campaign, sarcastically commenting on his son’s usefulness when the governor of Iowa invited them to go hunting.
8. His son-in-law Jared Kushner

“Look at Jared, he looks like a little boy, like a child.”
According to The Trump White House, Trump turned to his aides while watching his son-in-law speak to the media and said Kushner looks like a “little boy.” Ivanka’s husband received flak later, with social media users saying Kushner sounded like a young boy who hadn’t reached puberty yet.
9. His daughter Tiffany

“I’m very proud because Don and Eric and Ivanka and, you know, to a lesser extent because she just got out of school, out of college, but, Tiffany, who’s also been so terrific.”
Trump’s second daughter has said her father wasn’t present as she grew up. And it shows when Donald speaks about Tiffany. On Election Day 2016, he shared about his first three kids to Fox & Friends, then awkwardly mentioned Tiffany at the end.
In March 2018, Trump praised Ivanka but barely mentioned Tiffany: “Speaking of a job well done, we have two of my daughters here today: Ivanka, who is working hard on infrastructure! Ivanka … and Tiffany!” Trump also didn’t follow Tiffany on Twitter until after the RNC.
10. On Tiffany’s inheritance

“Well, you know, it does cut up the pie as you keep producing.”
Stern once asked the future president how the kids feel about losing some of their inheritance to a new baby. Trump said Ivanka and Donald Jr. weren’t happy when they found out about another sibling (Tiffany). Then, he agreed when the radio host asked if the two wanted to “bump off a child.”
Stern later said, “Tiffany has taken out a hit on Melania’s new baby [Barron]. Is there any truth to that?” Trump acknowledged it, comparing their inheritances to pie.
11. Raising his children

I adore them all, but I’ve never been great at playing with toy trucks and dolls.”
Trump’s kids have shared about his absence from their early lives. In his biography, Trump: The Art of the Deal, the business mogul wrote, “As they get older, being a father gets easier,” and divulges he struggled to play with them. Trump said he finally connected with his eldest son when Donald Trump Jr. showed interest “in buildings and real estate and sports.”
12. Raising wealthy kids

“Statistically, my children have a very bad shot,”
The Trump kids attended elite schools and received opportunities others don’t. But Donald claims his kids had a “bad shot,” according to Playboy in 1990. He said, “Children of successful people are generally very, very troubled, not successful.” Luckily, Ivanka & Co. proved him wrong.
13. His daughter Ivanka

“If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
When Trump called Ivanka “a piece of ass” and said, “She’s got the best body,” everyone freaked out. Then he said he might date her under different circumstances. Unfortunately, he didn’t learn his lesson. As Trump ran for office, he shared, “If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father …”
14. Melania’s breasts

“How do the breasts look?”
If his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels occurred, the POTUS broke his wedding vows shortly after he and Melania tied the knot. However, in a 2005 chat with Howard Stern, Trump said he’d keep his vows as long as Melania’s body was intact. Stern asked if Trump would stay married to her if she was disfigured in an accident. The hotel mogul replied with concern about her breasts.
15. His negotiations for Melania

“I got her for the right price, Howard … I really made a good deal.”
In 2002, Trump negotiated a modeling contract for Melania to appear on an NYC billboard. During an interview, Stern implied she must’ve bribed him, saying, “She must be great in the sack.” Trump replied about Melania’s price, proving that what Trump means to say can come out all wrong.

If you have the money, having children is great. Now I know Melania, I’m not going to be doing the diapers, I’m not gonna be making the food, I may never even see the kids.
Trump praises his wife, even when revealing less-than-stellar details about himself. In 2005, before his son Barron’s birth, Trump sat down with Larry King to discuss his thoughts on having children with Melania. It upset many who believe his model of parenting is antiquated and unhealthy.
17. Melania’s naked body

“She is actually naked. It’s a thing of beauty.”
In 1999, Stern asked Donald, “Let me talk to that broad in your bed.” Then Melania got on the phone, explaining she was nearly naked and she and Donald had sex more than once a day. Then Donald got back on the phone and explained Melania’s current state of undress.
18. Melania has been ‘abused’

“She’s taken tremendous abuse. She wants to look, out of respect for the White House, wants to look good leaving the front entrance to the White House.”
The POTUS does rush to his wife’s defense. After Melania received flack for wearing stilettos while visiting hurricane victims in Texas, Trump defended her. But some think making fun of Melania’s wardrobe doesn’t qualify as “tremendous abuse.” It could be worse; folks compared Michelle Obama to an ape and called her horrible names.

“We literally have never had an argument or forget about the word ‘fight.’”
In a 2005 interview with Larry King, Trump explained his compatibility with Melania, saying they never fight. He reiterated this by stating, “We’ve never even had an argument. We just are very compatible.”
20. Her possible exit as a public joke

So many people have left the White House … Now the question everyone keeps asking is, “Who is going to be the next to leave? Steve Miller or Melania?”
Trump’s White House is a revolving door. From FBI directors to chiefs of staff, there’s no telling who will go next. According to Trump, it could be his wife. At the 2018 Gridiron Club Dinner, he joked about who’d exit next, and then asked for forgiveness for the jab, turning to Melania and saying, “That is terrible, honey, but you love me, right?”
