Looks like Donald Trump needs to have a talk with two of his kids about helping him get into office.

At least, siblings Eric and Ivanka Trump forgot to register to vote in time for the Republican primary in New York, according to their dad on Fox & Friends.

"They had a long-time register and they were unaware of the rules, and they didn't, they didn't register," Trump said.

"Oops," interjected Fox's Steve Doocy.

"They feel very guilty," Trump said.

In the interview, Trump jokes about cutting off his two children’s’ allowance, but says that it’s fine and he understands.

The New York primary is April 19.

The news that Eric and Ivanka can't vote for him can't please the candidate, who's struggling already. His lead in GOP delegates has fallen below 200, reports USA TODAY, and as a result, he's protesting the system.

During an appearance Sunday in Rochester, N.Y., USA TODAY says, Trump called the delegate system "crooked."
