  • His recent wedding crash speech criticising the Biden administration at Mar-a-Lago might’ve been better than his toast to Ivanka and Jared Kushner’s nuptials
  • He divorced first wife Ivana for Marla Maples while Donald Jr. was a kid, and openly dissed daughter Tiffany on election day in 2016

Donald Trump might be infamous for being a big talker, but when it comes to his own family he’s apparently had some trouble expressing himself. Here are five times he might have handled things a little better …

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s wedding

Donald recently crashed a wedding taking place at his Mar-a-Lago private club and gave a speech criticising Joe Biden’s administration. Awkward, but it might’ve been better than what he said at Ivanka’s wedding in 2009. According to the book Kushner, Inc. Donald’s address to guests went like this: “Ivanka’s great, and Jared’s great, and they’re great together, so let me give a toast.”

One guest at the event told the book’s author, Vicky Ward, that Donald “didn’t seem as emotionally involved” while another said that they thought, “Is that all you’ve got?”

The birth of Eric and Lara Trump’s daughter

Donald also came off a little cold when he tweeted a response to his son Eric welcoming his second child with his wife Lara in 2019. He posted: “CONGRATULATIONS @EricTrump and @LaraLeaTrump, on the birth of Carolina Dorothy Trump. So proud!”

Other members of the family had more emotional reactions. The baby’s aunt Ivanka tweeted, “We love you Lara, Eric, (big brother) Luke and sweet Carolina!” Even former Trump aide Lynne Patton had a warmer message: “Auntie Lynne cannot wait to hold your precious little face … Love you all so much.”
