Tiffany Trump happily accepts Whoopi Goldberg's New York Fashion Week invitation - New York Daily News
Tiffany Trump has found a seatmate at New York Fashion Week.
Whoopi Goldberg quickly came to Trump's defense and offered to sit next to her at upcoming New York Fashion Week shows after a few magazine editors snubbed the first daughter earlier this week.

During Wednesday's episode of "The View," Goldberg — who has previously spoken out against Donald Trump — lashed out at editors who apparently refused to sit next to the President's daughter during the Philipp Plein show.
"Tiffany, I'm coming to sit with you, because nobody's talking politics," Goldberg said. "You're looking at fashion. She doesn't want to talk about her dad."

"I just thought it was mean," she continued. "I don't want to talk about your dad, but girl, I will sit next to you because I've been there, where people say we're not going to sit next you. I'll find your a-- and sit next to you."
Trump, 23, responded to the talk show host's invitation tweeting that she would gladly accept.
"Thank you @WhoopiGoldberg I'd love to sit with you too!" she wrote.
On Monday, a group of editors tweeted that Trump's presence at Plein's show caused a seating disaster as people scrambled to find new seats so they wouldn't have to be near her.

"Seating s---show at Philipp Plein because no editors want to sit near Tiffany Trump," wrote Alyssa Vingan Klein, editor-in-chief of Fashionista.com. "SHOCKER."
Former Wall Street Journal columnist Christina Binkley shared a photo of empty seats next to Trump.
"Nobody wants to sit next to Tiffany Trump at Philipp Plein, so they moved and the seats by her are empty," Binkley captioned the picture.
Plein responded to the drama telling TMZ that he didn't think Trump was treated fairly at his show.

"I'm not a politician... I just don't think it's right to judge or treat someone not with respect because she or he is the daughter or son of somebody people don't like," the designer said. "I think that's so bad."
