As he watched a 16-year-old girl presenting the Miss Teen USA pageant, Donald Trump turned to the woman beside him, who happened to be Miss Universe, and said of the 16-year-old: “She’s hot, right?”
He would also call her “voluptuous” and agree that she was “a piece of ass”. Yes, they could spin this as “locker-room talk” in the grand tradition of “grab ’em by the pussy”, except for one extra detail. He was talking about his daughter, Ivanka — of whom he has also said that if she weren’t his daughter then perhaps he’d be “dating” her.
