GET OUT THE BRAIN BLEACH.

According to an article in New York Magazine’s The Cut, Ivanka Trump has a very odd relationship with her father, Donald Trump.

This, we knew, right? After all, we recently learned that Trump made disgusting comments about his daughter in the Oval Office. “Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her,” Miles Taylor wrote in an excerpt from his new book, Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, obtained by Newsweek. His remarks, Taylor writes, were so gross that John Kelly, who was White House chief of staff from 2017 to 2019, once had “to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter”.

You may remember Miles Taylor as the famous “anonymous” who wrote an op-ed for the New York Times called “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration”.

Well, it gets even worse.

According to The Cut, Donald Trump once encouraged his daughter to release a sex tape, a la Paris Hilton.

From The Cut:

In 2003, when Paris Hilton’s sex tape was leaked on the internet, Donald wouldn’t stop talking about it, saying, “Paris is laughing all the way to the bank, she’s got the last laugh, she’s marvelous.”

Ivanka could not believe her father was not only idolizing an airhead heiress caught blowing a guy on night-vision video but encouraging her to follow Paris’s lead.

At the time the story in The Cut broke, former press secretary who never held a press briefing Stephanie Grisham said, “This is untrue and is disgusting.”

I am sure now Grisham would have a different opinion, since she’s no longer on the Trump train.

And apparently suggesting she release a sex tape hurt Ivanka quite a bit.

“The thing with Paris hurt Ivanka a lot,” says a friend. “He was heartbreaking to her at times.” But as with so much of her father’s behavior, she buried her feelings and moved on. She told herself that the story of her father’s attitude toward women was, simply, complicated, according to friends. Donald hired many women at the Trump Organization, she knew, and these women weren’t universally pretty; he wanted to employ women with traditionally masculine attitudes and almost enjoyed feeling discomfited by them, having them boss him around. Her father may have had issues with women, she felt, but he did not meet the textbook definition of a misogynist — a belief she seems to hold to the present day.
