Internet derides Trump for 'dodging' daughter Tiffany as she went to kiss him on the cheek at 2024 RNC

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: The 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) saw almost all former President Donald Trump's children taking the stage.

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump delivered their respective speeches, while Ivanka Trump's rare appearance at the event caused a stir. Barron Trump even managed to steal the spotlight without being present at the convention.

However, Tiffany Trump left without making a positive impact on the occasion. It seemed like hardly anyone was concerned about her attending her father’s political event.

According to The List, Tiffany didn't get to address the crowd, unlike her half-siblings. While Eric and Don Jr's speeches were well-received, Tiffany went viral for the wrong reasons.

A video posted on X, formerly Twitter, showed Tiffany going to greet the 78-year-old before taking her seat in the Trump family box, but the ex-president completely ignored her, which drew the attention of netizens.

What transpired between Tiffany and her father during event?

Tiffany, Donald Trump's only child with Marla Maples, was spotted entering the VIP box with her other siblings and extended family to support the Republican presidential candidate on the convention's final night.

Before retired pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan's animated speech, the family walked in, and former president Trump was standing, looking out at the attendees.

Approaching her father with a smile, the 30-year-old seemed to say "Hi, Dad," and went in for a kiss on the cheek, according to The Sun.

However, as she leaned in, Trump turned his head, prompting Tiffany to kiss the air instead, as seen in the viral video.

Tiffany placed her hand on his chest as she approached, and the MAGA figurehead placed his hand on top of hers, but when this entire exchange with her daughter transpired, he didn't even look at her.

What did Donald Trump say about her daughter Tiffany in the past?

Donald Trump has made several uncomfortable remarks about his daughter, Tiffany, in the past.

Regrettably, the ex-POTUS's disregard of Tiffany Trump at the 2024 RNC may not have been the most cringe-worthy moment in their relationship.

During an interview with ‘Fox and Friends’ in 2016, Trump expressed pride in most of his adult children, stating, "I'm very proud of my children." He continued, "I mean, I'm just looking at them right now as an example ... but I'm very proud cause Don and Eric and Ivanka and, you know, to a lesser extent cause she just got out of school, out of college, but, uh, Tiffany, who's also been so terrific," (via New York Daily News).

However, this statement is overshadowed by the awkward comment Trump made about Tiffany when he appeared on Robin Leach's ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’ in 1994 with his then-wife, Marla Maples.

When Leach asked if 1-year-old Tiffany bore any resemblance to either of them, the real estate mogul jokingly responded by saying that she had her mom's legs and pointed to himself, saying, "We don't know if she's got this part yet but time will tell." (via YouTube).

In a 2004 interview with New York Magazine, the former U.S. President admitted that he saw Tiffany's life as "separate" because she was under her mom's care.

When Maples spoke to People in 2016, she revealed that while Donald Trump undeniably supported Tiffany's upbringing, he wasn't a hands-on parent.

Nevertheless, Tiffany was happy to share that her relationship with her father improved as she grew older.
