President Donald Trump is literally isolated, according to a Trump biographer, in large part because he is on distant terms with both First Lady Melania Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn old-time monarch could only dream of the total absolute isolation on display inside the gilded fortress of the executive mansion,\u201d explained The Daily Beast\u2019s Michael Wolff on Sunday. \u201cNow at eighty years old, Donald Trump sits utterly alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

On an immediate political level, Trump is isolated from much of the government he purportedly runs, from avoiding important meetings and spending long periods of time away from senior staff to weakening relationships with key US allies.<\/p>\n

“Melania remains vacant, Ivanka Trump has distanced herself, and the remaining children function more like his elite corporate employees,” Wolff said. “The daily court is populated solely by professional sycophants, retainers, and parasites whose closeness is strictly transactional.”<\/p>\n

He added that Trump\u2019s children behave more like employees at a corporation than like kids interacting with a parent. Specifically he said that the adult children who remain close to Trump, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, act \u201cmore like his elite corporate employees\u201d who depend on the president for transactional rather than emotional reasons.<\/p>\n

The author added that sometimes Trump has even weaponized family estrangements to his advantage. He alleges that, when Trump decided to divorce his first wife Ivana, he kept that development in the news in order to make sure he would not lose fame he had acquired as a tabloid celebrity. Wolff has not independently corroborated that claim.<\/p>\n

Others have pointed out Trump\u2019s unusual family relationships. Ex-Republican presidential adviser Steve Schmidt wrote in April that First Lady Melania Trump \u2014 despite being notoriously cold toward her husband \u2014 decided to defy the First Amendment by calling for a comedian who criticized the president to be fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cMelania Trump\u2019s demand to fire Jimmy Kimmel seems unsurprising from the first third wife to become an American First Lady in our 250-year history,\u201d Schmidt said on Tuesday. \u201cSevere, unsmiling and brutally indifferent Melania is a perfect match for her husband, who recently declared that he isn\u2019t a rapist or pedophile on \u201860 Minutes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The First Lady demanded Kimmel\u2019s firing after he joked about their marriage and the president\u2019s age in a comment made prior to, and which had no relationship with, an assassination attempt on the president. Schmidt\u2019s \u201crapist or pedophile\u201d comment involves Trump\u2019s longstanding friendship with the late child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cMelania Trump\u2019s demand is un-American,\u201d Schmidt wrote. \u201cThe former model, who was reared in a Slovenian backwater under a communist government, seems ill-acquainted with the First Amendment to the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
