No surprise, really. Tiffany - the 22-year-old daughter of Donald Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples - has a healthy social media following on both Twitter and Instagram.
Her mom was with her in Cleveland and wished her luck before she spoke.
Tiffany impressed quite a few people who might have been legitimately wondering “Tiffany who” before Tuesday night.

I am not a fan of the Trump but I think Tiffany was very effective. Her mother did a great job raising her https://t.co/I1aZmxIQS7

But very quickly, Twitter went after her like an excited puppy tearing apart a new chew toy. Good thing her mom was with her.

To some people, though, bashing Tiffany seemed so, well, unkind.
