Trump has a history of displaying creepy behavior towards his daughter. The New York Times reported that in 1997 Trump went around asking strangers if the then 16-year-old Ivanka was hot, ‘Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?’ â€Ms. Lee recalled him saying. ‘I was like, ‘Really?’ That’s just weird. She was 16. That’s creepy.â€
Creepy is a good word for Trump’s sexualization of his own daughter, and if the comments he made on Dr. Oz sounded innocent, they wouldn’t have been left on the cutting room floor. Donald Trump’s history of sexism is well documented.
If the Republican nominee is incapable of viewing his own daughter as a person instead of a sex object, the idea of sending this man to the White House should send a wave of nausea through the stomachs of decent voters all across the country.
After eight years of President Obama’s role model behavior as commander in chief, there is a creepy barbarian at the gates of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
