Creepy Perv Donald Trump Just Felt Up His Daughter In Front Of Millions Of People

http://winningdemocrats.com/creepy-perv-donald-trump-just-felt-up-his-daughter-in-front-of-millions-of-people-video/

Seriously. What the hell is wrong with these people? When I first watched this clip I thought to myself…welllll….maybe I’m over reacting. Maybe there are people who would find this kind of touchy-feely thing he has going on with the daughter he said he’d love to date and repeatedly called “hot” a normal thing. I did the only thing I knew how. I asked the women in my house. My wife said, “yeah, that’s creepy.” My 15-year-old daughter said, “would you ever pat me like that?” The answer is a very easy “no.”

Here’s the clip I’m referring to, in case you missed it, of Ivanka Trump welcoming her father, Lord Cheeto, onto the stage at the RNC:




If there wasn’t such a history of Trump being so seemingly in love with his own daughter, this may have seemed a bit more innocuous. But knowing what we know, having heard all of the references to her and sex and how hot he thinks she is, it’s hard to ignore how he looks her up and down and puts his hands on her waist, patting her like a good little girl who should go wait for daddy in their special place.

Interpret it however you like; feel free to disagree. After everything I’ve seen it seems glaringly apparent that this man has unnatural thoughts and feelings about his daughter.

she pulls her arm towards her and bends it, slightly covering her stomach, and pulls in/back her stomach. This is how women react when we are touched inappropriately on the breasts, abdomen or hips, and want to remain calm and not "make a scene."

Your "nothing-burger" dismissal might have some validity---except for Trump's prior lascivious comments in public about his daughter's physical attributes and his admitted fantasizing about dating her. Decent, respectful fathers treat their daughters in a certain way---Trump appears to be flunking that behavioral test, big-time.

her body to check her out, or the way he casually lays his hand(s) on her hip(s).

Below the waist is a no-no and so is scoping your daughter's bod out like that. In the context of his prior highly inappropriate remarks about how sexually attractive he finds her, this is just beyond the pale.

I totally believe that he raped that 12 yo girl who is suing him now.

I didn't have the TV on at the time, but I was following the live blog on Wonkette and somebody made a comment about him grabbing her ass. I figured it was a quick brush/accidental touch in the general region and the commenter was exaggerating for humorous effect, but I saw the video earlier today and went, "Whoa! That is inappropriate."

Several social media users were taken aback by the odd way he greeted her on stage, first affectionately grabbing her arm, and then awkwardly patting her hip.
Though a smile remained on her face, her arm shot away from her father's side the moment he touched the spot in the strangely intimate gesture.

to the marrow of my bones, but this isn't a thing for me. My dad used to hug and touch my arms, pat me on the tush occasionally like he did when I was a kid, when he was in his nineties and me in my sixties. I wish he were still around to give me those hugs whenever we met. He never abused me as a child, and I never thought his pats were anything other than a dad showing normal affection to his daughter.

I did think Trumps verbal remarks re. Ivanka were pretty creepy, though. My dad would never have spoken like that.

when Ivanka's speech hit the following crescendo:

"He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this too, right along side of him."

What? ... As FLOTUS? I think the Trumps have their familial role identities scrambled.

Suddenly, the awkward touching exudes a more nefarious, Oedipal appearance...

Ivanka give an impassioned speech on his behalf.

The election is about what kind of policies he would try to promote were he elected president. He is unfit for the office for a myriad of reasons. This is not one of them.

I just went to the link you posted...

The body language expert noted that Donald reacted to Melania in a keep-your-distance way, while reacting to Ivanka in a sexually inappropriate way.

his reaction to his daughter:

“He patted her in a sexually dismissive way. That repetitive pat with open hands on that location is usually a set of body language cues to say, ‘The sex with you, it was good,’ or, ‘That was fun sexual play,’” Wood says. “I want to be clear that is not even a pat you would give to a child under the age of 5. You would pat them higher up on the back.”


Need to go scrub myself with a wire brush now...

I don't touch anyone like that. Some zones are off limits unless you're in a relationship, and otherwise it's hands off. And good gosh, I couldn't imagine patting any female relatives like that. But I would imagine that a power-drunk asshole would.

I think that Trump is probably one of those parents who values his children based on their physical appearance. My mom talks about how her mom was marginalized by her grandmother because her mother was not an attractive child. So personally, I think it was more about asserting ownership of his daughter in a completely superficial way. As in, "look at the gorgeous daughter I created" *once-over* *pat pat*.

And if you assume that he didn't mean anything by it and it was just affection, as a Presidential candidate, you have to have better judgment than that! You don't once-over your daughter and pat her on the hips!
