Behind The Facade
People|July 31,2017

THE FIRST FAMILY WAS GROOMED BY DONALD TRUMP IN HIS FAST-AND-LOOSE WAYS. NOW THE EAGER-TO-PLEASE SCIONS—ALONG WITH THE COUNTRY— ARE LIVING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.

Behind The Facade

Just months after Donald Trump proposed to Melania with a $1.5 million Graff diamond that he got half-price in exchange for publicity, Don Jr. stole his dad’s idea—and took it a step further. On Nov. 11, 2004, Trump’s oldest child, then 26, proposed on bended knee to Vanessa Haydon, a model he’d met through his father. He did it in front of cameras at a jewelry store in the Mall at Short Hills in New Jersey. Don Jr. got his $100,000 ring free, but he paid a steep price.“Trump Jr.is the cheapest gazillionaire heirhead,” mocked theNew York Post, and Don’s role model publicly expressed his disappointment. “I guess he’s trying to learn from me but I didn’t like it,” Trump Sr. said on Larry King Live not long afterward. “He’s a good kid. And I said, ‘You have a name that’s hot as a pistol— you have to be very careful with things like this.’
