What to Know
Even though Donald Trump‘s sons, including youngest child Barron Trump, and oldest daughter Ivanka Trump, are in the public eye and of interest the most, Trump does have another daughter who isn’t seen as much, Tiffany Trump, often referred to in the media as the “forgotten” daughter. She is Trump’s second youngest child and the only child he had with ex-wife Marla Maples. And after Trump made some odd comments about her, Tiffany suddenly shared a family update on Instagram. You know, just as a fun family post, not to remind everyone that she has a totally normal, real relationship with her dad. No, not at all.
According to Daily Express U.S., Tiffany posted a couple of photos of Trump with her son, his grandson, and with her and her husband, in her Instagram Stories. Because those posts can disappear after a determined amount of time, they are no longer up on her account. But the post alone came at a strange time, directly after Trump publicly claimed that Tiffany’s 2020 college graduation was canceled because of her last name, rather than the very real pandemic. Sure, Jan.
Trump said that Tiffany’s graduation was canceled because of her name and not the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leave it to a narcissist to claim that a global pandemic was fabricated just so you can play the victim. Alright, so that’s not exactly what Trump said. But, during the US-Saudi Investment Forum at the Kennedy Center on Nov. 19, 2025, Trump did mention Tiffany, who was in attendance at the event, and spoke of her academic achievements. In doing so, he also brought himself into it, because why not, right?
“She was a great student. She went to Georgetown. She was a great, great student and she finished really right at the top and we were proud of you,” he said at the event.
So far so good, right? But no, Trump had to continue with his typical word vomit. “Her graduation got canceled because of COVID, but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn’t have canceled it,” he added.
The implication was that, because Tiffany is Trump’s daughter and because her academic achievements were so impressive, the college chose to cancel the graduation ceremony so as not to give her any accolades.
However, as literally everyone else in the world understands, her graduation came at a time when there was a terrifying global pandemic.
After Trump made these comments, and after Tiffany reportedly skipped out on Thanksgiving with her dad and the rest of the family, she posted the photos to her Instagram Stories. She also shared the pictures in a post that included other memories from the 2025 fall season. Maybe it was in an attempt to do a bit of damage control and show that, hey, they are a totally normal and loving family after all.
Unfortunately, the timing of it all was too odd for people to miss. It’s not like Tiffany is out of the picture as far as Trump is concerned. She and husband Michael Boulos attended the September 2025 State Banquet at Windsor Castle with Trump and Melania Trump.
Tiffany is also apparently close to press secretary Karoline Leavitt. After Tiffany shared photos from the State Banquet, Karoline commented, “So much fun with you!!!” So even if Trump has a tendency to go off on weird tangents about his kids, apparently Tiffany still has a BFF in the press secretary.
