When Donald Trump was watching his 16-year-old daughter Ivanka host the
1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, he turned to the then-Miss Universe and
asked:
Dont you think my daughters hot? Shes hot, right?
That anecdote, told to the New York Times by Brook Antoinette Mahealani
Lee, appears to be the first recorded incident of the Republican
presidential candidate and reality TV star making comments about his
daughters body which those present have deemed inappropriate.
In the almost 20 years since, Mr Trump has called his eldest daughter
voluptuous. Hes said its OK to describe her as a piece of ass,
though she is a senior executive in his business empire. And hes said
that, if she wasnt his daughter, perhaps [hed] be dating her.

but it would depend on what's inside the magazine."
He added: "I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a
very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be
dating her."

"Some of the candidates, they went in and didnt know the air conditioner
didnt work and sweated like dogs, and they didnt know the room was too
big because they didnt have anybody there. How are they going to beat
ISIS?" "I will build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than
me, believe me and Ill build them very inexpensively. I will build a
great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for
that wall. Mark my words." "Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be
wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people." "When
Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre sending
people that have lots of problems. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre
bringing crime. Theyre rapists."
Rolling Stone interview, September 2015
After I met Ivanka and praised her to her father, he said, Yeah, she's
really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily
married and, ya know, her father . . .
On the Dr Oz show, September 2016
The Republican was discussing long-awaited details about his health, and
was joined on stage for the pre-record by Ivanka. After they kissed, the
host commented: Its nice to see a dad kiss his daughter.
According to several studio witnesses, Mr Trump replied that he kisses
Ivanka with every chance [he] gets. The comment was apparently edited
out of the final cut of the show when it went to air. Ivanka Trump
comments on article about father's respect for women
In May, Ivanka Trump gave a lengthy interview to CBS News in which she
said claims about her fathers conduct with women - specifically in the
New York Times article in which it was alleged he asked people if they
thought his daughter was hot - were pretty disturbing.
I was bothered by it, but its [the story has] largely been discredited
since, she said.
She said she had known my father obviously my whole life, and said he
was not a groper.
He has total respect for women, she said. He believes ultimately in
merit."
