“He’s a great father, I love him dearly,” Trump said.
“I don’t have a problem with it, because he’s a very good father.
And he’s been through a lot, and he’s done a lot of good things.””
He was a very great dad, and I don’t like to say bad things about him, but he was a great daddy.
So that’s what he’s supposed to do.”
