Scott Melker didn’t leave his accounts of the Trump family at the slapping incident. In the same Facebook post, he went on to claim that Donald Trump Jr. and the man who went on to become the 45th president of the United States were anything but close during those college years. “He absolutely despised his father,” Melker wrote.
Slapping aside, it’s possible that stemmed from earlier tension Donald Jr. had faced with his dad. As Donald Jr. himself told New York magazine back in 2004, Donald Trump’s affair with Marla Maples put a lot of strain on their relationship. Like his sister, Ivanka Trump, Donald Jr. learned of the affair on a ski trip at Christmastime. He was just 12 years old at the time, and the trauma of the situation (not at all helped by how public everything became), affected him in a big way. In fact, Donald Jr. told New York he sided with his mom, and refused to speak to Donald for a whole year.
Of course, they ended up speaking after that, and at the time of the interview with New York, Donald Jr. was working for his father. That said, it’s worth noting that even then, Trump family members told the outlet they never saw that coming.
