The place of Trump’s children in their father’s campaign

And today I know the price that [ses enfants] I would pay to be completely involved, emotionally speaking, due to my absence at such a formative time in their lives. And I’m not willing to make them pay that price. I served for four years, I feel very privileged to have done so, but as a mother I think it is very important that I do the right thing for them. And I think there are many ways to serve. » He then recalled his voluntary commitment to children, ” different “ of politics “but no less significant”. He also considered that the policy was “a pretty dark, dark world, with a lot of negativity, which really contradicts what [lui] you can see it well “. “And it is a very difficult job.”he added. “So for me and my family it seems normal not to participate”however remembering “I love a lot” his father.
