Richard Cohen, WA Post columnist, quoted DT saying he was more sexually attracted to Ivanka, 13,

than to his wife.

He included the quote in a draft column, but it was edited out of the version published last November.

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote that President-elect Donald Trump once asked, “Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?” — but the quote was quietly removed before the syndicated column was published Tuesday.

SNIP

The reporting appeared in an advance version of the column that was circulated on Monday for publication on Tuesday and thereafter. It appeared as an aside after the introduction of Jared Kushner, which still appears in the final column:

Jared Kushner, our Tom Hagen, who married Trump's stunning daughter Ivanka — "Can I ask you something?" Trump asked someone I know, about his then-13-year-old kid, "Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?" -- has lately lost some of this Boy Scout aura. It turns out Kushner's admission to Harvard was preceded by his father's $2.5 million pledge.


Outlets received another version of the column later in the day, with the text between the "—" removed. None of the sites that syndicate Cohen’s column appear to have published the quote in the draft.

Trump admits that Jeffery Eptstein was someone he hung around with, and Epstein already had been charged with statutory rape of the underage "models" he provided for other men, including Trump.

Mueller, a man of apparent boundless energy, is looking into the Trump Model Agency.

as is there standard practice to produce propaganda. His base wouldn't care anyway. How is it any different ethically than grabbing any woman because "you can if you're a celeb".

Despite the way the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief acts out as a role model for republican "family values," it's wrong, wrong, wrong. Get a clue about how to be a decent human being.

What is it with republicans not knowing the diff between right and wrong? Deplorable. Totally deplorable.

I don't know is he said it or not but I thought the same as you.


I don't know what nor exactly why, but something makes me unconfortable. For me, it is not a very healthy relation.

I am not saying he did. But really, the way he touch his daughter shakes me Not a way a father will touch his daughter. but go figure in trump's world...

His adoration of her is only more of his disgusting self-love. Of course he would find her "stunning". He made her in his image.

She looked like a goofy teenager then, not like she does now.
Although Ivanka's mother was quite stunning, and a former professional model.
I'm sure her Mom taught her a lot of good make-up and hair tricks.

Donald Trump wanted to fuck his own daughter and they didn't boil him in oil.

I guess what they say is true: everything's okay if you're a Republican.

Trump allegedly said this to "someone I know." I wouldn't have allowed it in print, either.

It seems to me that this is another example of something deliciously horrible that we all wish could be true, but probably isn't, and it doesn't help our cause to give it so much attention.

but for an accusation this serious, I'd want a more solid attribution than "someone I know." The other words and deeds were done publicly, on the record.
