Tiffany Trump has not been as active as her half-siblings in promoting her father's presidential run, but she has been showing occasional support for his campaign — highlighted most recently by her appearance at a CNN town hall.
All of Trump's children were present for a broadcast Tuesday night, where Donald Trump and his family took questions from audience members and host Anderson Cooper.
Tiffany Trump, 22, is a senior at the University of Pennsylvania and is the only child from her father's six-year marriage to Marla Maples. She responded to an audience question, along with half-sister Ivanka, about the media "going after" Donald Trump's relationship with women — a notoriously prickly issue for him on the campaign trail. Here's Tiffany's response, per a Washington Post transcript:
I think my father, since I've been a little girl, has always just inspired me and had so much faith in me to just be the best person I can be, the best woman I can be. And, you know, every time I speak to him on the phone, whether it be at school or when I'm with him in his office, or, you know, in Palm Beach, it's just -- he wants us to do the best and he has the utmost faith that we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to just as well as men, if not better. And we're such strong hard workers. I mean, Ivanka, of course, Melania, I just truly feel that my father is the best father, the best husband that he could be, truly.
Her answer followed a similar response from Ivanka Trump and proceeded the candidate's current wife, Melania, who added her husband treated "everyone equally."
Tiffany Trump also revealed that unlike her half-siblings Eric and Ivanka, she'll be able to vote for her father in the primaries, as she's a registered Republican in Pennsylvania.
If polls are any indication, her ballot will be among the majority. Donald Trump has consistently led in Pennsylvania in numerous surveys.
