with plans to go to law school. tiffany, people are meeting you today, many people, for the first time. >> yes. >> reporter: to o grow up th the name "tiffany trump" -- that's not easy. >> i think that it's all i know. i'm so happy to be tiffany trump. i'm so happy to be, you know, in the family i'm in. >> reporter: your father has said that he was not -- i'm using his words, very present when you were growing up. >> i would challenge him on that. because he was very available to and accessible to us. >> regardless of what he was doing, regardless of who he was meeting with, if we called, he took the phone. i mean, from when we were 6 years old, i'd call. he'd be negotiating with a ceo of a major bank or whatever it may be. and he would make them wait. >> our times together were learning, you know, playing in his fice. he would always sneak me down to get a candy bar, you know, in the lobby. >> he found a way that was true to him to connect with us that maybe is a little less traditional. you know, his work is his
9:41 pm
passio and he found a way to share it with us. >> reporter: they say their father also taught them to rerespect thvalue of a dollar. >> he was the first to tell us how privileged we are. and with that privilege how much responsibility we had to, to really sort of earn what we were so lucky to have been afforded since birth. >> well, that's the right word. "earn." i mean, he made us work. we were on construction sites. and we were working. and at the end of the day, you were tir. and you earned minimum wage. and you'd d take thamoney that you had and you'd go out and spend it on something good. >> to say we weren't spoiled would be laughable. but we were spoiled with great education, great experiences. but we weren't the kids showing up to college with, you know, a ferrari. we always had to sort of earn whatever it is that we wanted. and that, i think, prevented us from doing a lot of the other things that you've seen as, you know, downfalls,s, perhapsin other children who have similar circumstances. >> reporter: and, it seems "the donald trump work ethic" is in their dna. >> you better do a good job or you' fired! >> we refer to it as "the trump guilt." when we wake up on saturday and we're not working. >> reporter: you have said, ivanka, of your father, that he
9:42 pm
bred you to compete with each other. what do you compete over? >> i think we all have a very competitive spirit. and i think that can be harnessed in one of two ways. to our detriment, meaning that we're competitive in spite of ourselves, or for the positive, which means we push each other. >> reporter: who is his vorite? >> i'm going with ivanka. m going with ivanka. >>eporter: ivanka is, perhaps, the most well known of the quartet. the former model turned faion mogul has taken a page out of her father's business playbook putting her name on evything from shoes, , to handbs, fragrance. she says she is proud to be following in her father's footsteps. >> today i have the honor of introducing a man who needs no introduction. >> reporter: how was it decided that you would be the one who would introduce your father as a presidential candidate?
9:43 pm
>> that's an excellent question. and i don't know, actually, how it was decided. but i was honored to do it. and i feel like i was standing there sort of representing our family. >> andnd she didn amazing job, by the way. >> she's a great messenger. she's got such great poise, i think. and alsohe way ivanka delivered the message was perfect. and i don't think any of us could have done it better. >> and she absolutely has beauty over the two of us. >> yes, there's definitely an element, that, uh, you know, we ain't got that. >> they say they are their father's biggest cheerleaders. supporting him at the debates and on social media. has your father ever said anything on the campaign trail that made you cringe? >> truthfully, no. >> reporter:r: no? no? >> he's not a big believer in p.c. culture where every vet very carefully through thousands of people, but if people really break down what he's trying to say, there's no malice in there. he's just cutting ththrough th nonsense and getting to the point and not wasting time.. th's what he does. >> he's true to himself. and he speaks in a way that the average person can understand. i think that's refreshing for everyone. >> reporter: well, you have been saying the most wonderful things
9:44 pm
about your father. he should be very pleased and proud. if there is one thing you could would it be? >> listen, i don't think any of us would be sitting here glowing the way we are if we'd want to chanange aspec of his personality or who he is. >> reporter: something. give me something. >> i wanhim to eat healter. there you go. >> i agree with that. >> less mcdonald's. like, "oh, you have to, you but it's the only speed he >> i love the occasional, you know, saturday morning where i don't get the call at 5:00, like, "why aren't you in the office?" co on, come on, you had to do that? >> and i wouldn't change a thing about him, i mean, he really is a unique individual. there's no one else like him. still ahead, the littlest trumps. and barbara, asking the really
