This just in: Tiffany Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, is acting like a normal law student. We repeat: Tiffany Trump is acting like a normal law student.
Some were shocked that Trump was nowhere to be seen at New York Fashion Week, and that the Georgetown Law student was instead doing things that normal law students do, like studying. The Washington Post’s Reliable Source blog has the “scoop” on this story:

Trump, now in her first year of Georgetown Law School, is too immersed in her studies to ogle fabulous frocks. The first daughter posted an Instagram story Tuesday showing her far-less-glamorous doings: One picture showed what is apparently a law textbook, with a dizzying array of highlighted passages and margin notes. Another, marked at 7:56 a.m., indicated she’d pulled an all-nighter. “Still awake (as usual) 9am class,” she captioned it, along with emoji of coffee and a blonde woman slumped over a steaming cup.
Trump did another normal law student this this weekend — she went to Georgetown’s Barrister’s Ball at the Building Museum. Accompanied by her boyfriend, Ross Mechanic (whose father, Jonathan Mechanic, is the chairman of Fried Frank’s renowned real estate practice group), Secret Service agents were also present to make sure no one took any pictures of Trump as she partied the night away.
Yes, Tiffany Trump will be a celebrity law student for as long as her father is in the White House, but perhaps it’s time for us to leave her alone. So she happens to be the president’s daughter — so what? Let’s all allow her to go to law school and earn her degree in peace. Let’s all just pretend that she’s just an above-average student going to an above-average law school. After all, that’s exactly what she’s trying to do.
