How Tiffany Trump Almost Upstaged Her Father's White House Exit

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

While the rest of the world was looking to see if Donald Trump would leave the White House peacefully, Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos were looking down the wedding aisle — a stark contrast that did not go unnoticed by the online community. "Like any good series finale, the minor characters are now wrapping up their story lines," wrote one X, formerly known as Twitter, user, seemingly referencing Tiffany's secondary familial role when compared to her other high-profile siblings like Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. 

For some supporters, the engagement announcement was a welcome upswing from the heated news surrounding the Trumps following the 2020 election. And according to some inside sources, this was likely also the case for Tiffany. A Trump advisor told People in November 2020 that Tiffany was "really Zen and level-headed about [Trump's election loss]." Compared to some of her siblings and in-laws, who were described as "shell-shocked" and "livid," it's clear that Tiffany's mind was on other things two months prior to her engagement. 

Tiffany's ability to compartmentalize her father's departure from the presidency might've had to do with the fact that Donald's four years in office reportedly hurt his relationship with his youngest daughter. Sources told People that Tiffany and her father were practically estranged from 2016 to 2020, which could be why she was more ready to focus on the positives as her family approached their departure from office.
