The female Donald
by digby
I haven't commented much on the Trump and his daughter Ivanka stuff because it's creepy speculation and I have no way of knowing what it's all about. But there's no doubt that his relationship with her has had an erotic component. There are a bunch of pictures like this out there.
This incident is particularly weird:
In 2013, Trump and 31-year-old Ivanka went on Wendy to promote the most recent season of The Apprentice. During the show, Wendy Williams had them play what should have been a harmless, not-at-all sexualized game in any normal situation. That is not what happened.
When asked about his favorite thing he has in common with his daughter, Trump answered with a smirk: "Well, I was going to say “sex,” but I can’t relate that to her."
?????
I have no idea what's actually between them. It could just be a result of Trump's general view of women which is very simple: fuckable and unfuckable. Only the former are worthy so maybe his love for his daughter requires him to see her in those terms, I don't know.
But I also think his view of his daughter is rooted in narcissism and his creepy eugenics philosophy. She's the female Donald:
You know who is one of the great beauties of the world, and I helped create her? Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s six feet tall. She’s got the best body. She made a lot of money as a model—a tremendous amount.
He sees her as a reflection of him and a natural consequence of his superior genes. Again, this belief in eugenics is one reason why the white supremacists love him so much.
