Donald Trump‘s three kids, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump, are standing by their father amid the onslaught of controversy that seems to be hovering around him.
“Our father, Donald J. Trump is a true visionary and a great mentor,” the trio said in a statement (via People). “He is a brilliant negotiator with a proven track record of getting things done. Most importantly, he is an incredible dad and role model. He raised us to work hard and strive for excellence in all that we do. We love and respect him very much.”
In the very recent past, Donald has come under fire for calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” who bring drugs and crime to America. He subsequently was fired from many contracts and his Miss USA pageant greatly suffered as a result.
He also slammed Senator John McCain by saying he was not actually a war hero. For these comments, Donald was called out by tons of Republican party members. Senator McCain spent nearly six years in the Hoa Ló Prison in Vietnam and was repeatedly tortured while in captivity.
A recent ABC poll shows that Donald held 24% of the Republican support, putting him in the lead among Republican candidates.
