Trevor Noah Dug Up Old Footage Of Donald Trump Talking About His Newborn Daughter’s Breasts
Eeeeeeeeeew.
As Donald Trump careens toward the Republican nomination like a giant orange meteor of death, it’s inevitable that his rivals will go digging through his past to see if he’s hiding any nasty or embarrassing secrets that could hurt his chances. At least, that’s how it’d work with any other Presidential frontrunner; we’re talking about a guy who deliberately incites violence at his rallies, has denigrated every conceivable minority group in horrific terms and boasted about the size of his dick onstage at a debate. When it comes to Donald Trump, the normal rules of shame do not apply.
But old interview footage of a younger Trump, unearthed and broadcast by the Daily Show last night, might have even Trump’s most myopic supporters quietly rethinking their opinion of someone who seems incapable of viewing women through anything other than a sexual lens — even those related to him. In the 1994 interview with Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, the interviewer asks Trump how he thinks his newborn daughter Tiffany takes after him, and how she takes after his then-wife Marla Marples.
To which Trump responds: “She’s a really beautiful baby, she’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether she’s got-” — he gestures with his hands in front of his chest, indicating breasts — “-this part yet, but time will tell.”
That thing your face just did? Yep. Correct response. Good work from your face.
In case you think Trevor Noah’s overreaching, this is by no means the first time Trump’s felt fine with sexualising his own daughters on camera. Here he is on The View in 2006, sharing some thoughts on his eldest daughter Ivanka:
As of the time of writing, more than eight million people had cast their vote for Trump to be the Republican nominee for President.
Excuse me for a moment, I left something outside.
