The daughter of United States President Donald Trump has shared a rare image after his bizarre comments about her.
For context, the 79-year-old Republican shares five children with three different women. He had three children with his late wife Ivana Trump, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, a daughter named Tiffany with his second wife Marla Maples, and then one son named Barron with his current wife, Melania.
Tiffany, who is sometimes referred to as Trump's 'forgotten daughter' because she has a lower public profile than her half-siblings, recently took to Instagram to share a snap of her dad sat down with her son, Alexander Trump Boulos, sitting on his lap.
"Grandpa and Alexander hard at work," she captioned the snap, which was uploaded not too long after Trump made some very odd claims about her graduation which took place five years ago in 2020.

While speaking during the US-Saudi Investment Forum at the Kennedy Center, Trump took the opportunity to talk about his second daughter, who was present at the event with her husband Michael.
"My daughter Tiffany is here with her great husband Michael, thank you very much Tiffany, thank you honey," he said, before speaking about her education and telling attendees that she attended Georgetown University Law Center.
"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 praised.
Tiffany received her undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, before attending Georgetown, where she graduated in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic in May 2020.
Due to COVID, and the accompanying social restrictions, the graduation ceremony was understandably cancelled - but it's clear Trump reckoned the reason was a tad more personal, despite there literally being a global pandemic affecting the entire world at the time.
"Her graduation got canceled because of Covid, but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn't have canceled it," he claimed. "They didn't like that she did so well at school. They weren't happy about it."
Trump resolved: "I say they canceled your graduation because you were a great student and they didn't want, but other than that, I have no problems. You see, I don't take anything personally."
Little Alexander is just one of Trump's many grandchildren, as he is the grandfather of 11 grandchildren in total.
