    TL;DR: She’s pretty solid, doesn’t hold back any punches against Trump and even uses some more casual and direct language to call him the scum he is. Despite her privilege she would have definitely voted democrat either way, which is refreshing.

    She understands that her father isn’t exactly the best of people but is definitely struggling with calling him out for what were, ultimately, his decisions and his decisions alone. For that, and given the context of the rest of what she wrote, I think we can give her a pass as she is related to him however the dude’s pretty top-tier garbage so I hope she comes to accept how much of this was just as much his own fault.

      This is true, but from the tone of the article it seemed more like “America, don’t repeat my dad’s mistakes.”

      She even says in the article she could rail against her father’s actions for many many pages but that’s not the point she’s trying to make with the article.

        At some point it’s not Donald Trump doing the damage, though. The worst things he can really do to someone in that position is expose bad things about those people during a petty temper tantrum(fine be me, let ‘em all burn together) or not pay them(which should be expected, that’s par for the course for him).

        Rudy didn’t see a good thing that turned out to be a lie and was tricked into doing bad things. He willingly jumped into a dumpster fire to support an unashamedly disgusting person. He wanted exactly what he got and how Trump treats him is just a really fucking obvious consequence of his numerous dogshit decisions.

        So as it that pertains to the article I stand by saying that she’s struggling to reconcile with the fact that her dad is just, at his core, a massive, stupid piece of shit.
