From the Wall Street Journal ’s Monica Langley : “ Trump campaign advisers expect the 34-year - old , a senior executive in the Trump real estate empire and founder of her own fashion line , to provide the American public ‘ living proof ’ her father believes women can and should do everything men do . ” Her speech is expected to be aimed at young professional women , particularly millenials : “ She is expected to talk about how she learned to be entrepreneurial from her father , which led her to start and run her brand of ‘ accessible ’ fashion . ” On stage , Ms. Trump plans to wear her line , in which dresses average $ 145 each and shoes $ 135 each . ” -- Another blown opportunity ( so far ) in Cleveland : “ Missing : The person behind Trump ’s persona , ” by Philip Rucker : “ For a fleeting moment , Tiffany Trump started to show people the character of her father . A friend of hers had passed awaylife.die.nonviolentdeathand ‘ the first call I got , as I knew I would , came from my father , ’ the 22-year - old said … But her story cut off right there . She took the audience right up to the edge of intimacy — and then backed away , depriving viewers of the kind of memorable , humanizing anecdote that helps round out a candidate . For Trump , a historically unpopular candidate who is deeply polarizing to a broad cross - section of the general electorate , the absence of tales that might make the incendiary candidate appear more compassionate or likable is a missed opportunity … [ Even ] the woman who knows Trump best , his wife , Melania , described her husband with a litany of adjectives — patriotic , determined , tough , kind , loyal — but no stories . "
