Very similar to how he hinted Megyn Kelly was nasty to him because of that time of the month.

inappropriately towards their adult children. There was a scene in Mad Men where Betty's father touches her breasts. This reminded me of that.

But there's still something really strange about it. It's like anyone would know instinctively that this is inappropriate contact.

I think this is an unnecessary line of discussion. I don't think there is really inappropriate in their relationship - Trump does thinks a woman's appearance is very very important and is proud of his daughter's looks coz he thinks that means she's a winner. However, I don't think there is any need to talk about incestuous relationship or touching. A dad can touch his daughter with affection and just because it does not meet our normal, it does not mean it is abnormal. I just feel so uncomfortable with this talk. Goes to gossip and mean territory.

...Here are some statistics that should be familiar to us all, but aren't, either because they're too mind-boggling to be absorbed easily, or because they're not publicized enough. One in three-to-four girls, and one in five-to-seven boys are sexually abused before they turn 18, an overwhelming incidence of which happens within the family. These statistics are well known among industry professionals, who are often quick to add, "and this is a notoriously underreported crime."...

Its obvious groping and I doubt anyone in his camp has the cajones to tell him. His hand is clearly 4 inches below her beltline and on the outside of her bottom. Embarrassing, but the top media will ignore it. The show must go on and they want a close race, no matter what. It helps ratings. Lots of candidates would be completely destroyed by a gaffe like that.

Trump is a creep, but not because of this. His hand touches her hip. Touching is not necessarily as molesting, even if a man of a certain age does it.

She is a lovely woman and deserves to be treated with respect. I don't think her father has an abundance of that.

He's already got West Virginia and most of the south in his column, so he shouldn't have to pander to the pro-incest voters anymore.
