“Statistically, my children have a very bad shot,” President Donald Trump bluntly informedPlayboyin 1990.
“Children of successful people are generally very, very troubled, not successful.
They don’t have the right shtick.”
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
They are, it seems, indefatigable workers, teetotalers, and generally responsible people,“Vanity Fairobserved.
With their father in the White House, the Trump kids prove they’re ready to take on America.
But that’s not what we’re about.
So here’s your shovel.

“It’s pro bono.
The star-studded New York galareportedly raised $2 millionin 2015.

Second-born of the Trump kids to mother Ivana, the precocious Ivanka wasborn in 1981.
Nobody’s a drug addict, nobody’s driving around chasing women, snorting coke.
There’s something amazing about that.

Her husband Jared Kushner, on the other hand, wasofficially appointed into a presidential advisor position.
All-business, the eternally poised and well-rehearsed Ivanka replied, “No.

According to the organization’s website, ETF has contributed nearly $30 million to St. Jude’s.
Eric may not have his own children yet, but he is hands-on with patients and their families.
And Eric is the Trump kid who has been in charge of all of it since itsopening in 2011.
“He’s a guy’s guy who can also pick out patterns for throw pillows.”
And why would a real-estate mogul pop bottles as part of the business plan?
“Because wine’s sexy,“Eric explained in the article.
“It fits in with our company.
It’s luxurious as well, particularly when combined witha grand house.”
He and wife Lara even kicked off their wedding celebration witha tasting at the wineryin 2014.

Except when it comes to the Trump kids, particularly Barron’s nighttime routine.
“He’s not a sweatpants child,” she said in the interview.
“First of all, my father’s a businessman.
I mean, he’s notgiftingme anything.

“People say we’re, like, the kings and queens of superlatives,“Ivanka toldGQ.
“But wedobelieve everything’s the Best and the Greatest and the Tallest and the Biggest.”
