Tiffany Trump Decided To Quote Helen Keller In Her #BlackoutTuesday Post, And It Didn't Go Over Too Well
The adult Trump child the public hears from least often has to be Tiffany, the President's second daughter.
But when she does speak up, she's often less concerned with following her father than her elder siblings.
For example, as protests erupt nationwide against racial bias and police brutality, Tiffany chose to participate in the #BlackoutTuesday of Tuesday, June 2, in support of Black lives everywhere.
Tiffany captioned her post with a quote from Helen Keller.
It read:
"Alone we can achieve so little; together we can achieve so much."
Responses to Trump's post were mixed online.
If you can't come out and protest, your words are just letters.

There were some people who felt Tiffany's post was an empty gesture, but others appreciated her thoughts.
Please tell your father to spread love and not hate 🙏🏽.

Your dad is an awful person but I'm hopeful that you are different! ❤️

While Trump's post was hardly revolutionary, some felt it was nice to see a member of the family acknowledging the systemic racism many protests have been trying to call attention to.
good lord, you are tone deaf.

Tiffany, you seem like an outlier in the Trump group. Run, while you still can, as fast and far as you can.

While people appreciate this, they need more from you if you want to make a difference.

It seems Tiffany is willing to speak her mind when she feels strongly enough.
I know you mean well..but unfortunately you have that last name.

I had hoped you were trolling your father woth this, but I see you retweeted a bunch of his tweets. So disappointing.

If Tiffany is serious about her support, many hoped she might start a productive dialogue with her father, the President.
Change your father's tune on this issue - or do what you can to do so; his forceful voice with a complete change of his attitude/approach on racial matters could be so powerful, and short of that his lack of leadership on this is deafening and keeping us from "achieving" much...
