Did Ivanka really need the president to call out Nordstrom?

While Donald Trump has left reality television, he hasn’t shaken the bumbling dad trope. On Wednesday, President Trump attacked Nordstrom on Twitter after the luxury department store dropped his daughter’s designer label.

Obviously unseemly, the presidential episode raises another question. If Trump’s children are as successful as he bragged on the campaign trail, shouldn’t they be able to make it in business without their father’s help? Until the leader of the free world learns to let go, Trump will stunt his kids’ growth.
