Donald Trump has made several highly controversial and widely criticized comments about his daughters, especially Ivanka and, in one early TV interview, Tiffany.

Key comments people quote

  • He repeatedly praised Ivanka’s looks in unusually sexualized ways, calling her “one of the great beauties of the world” and saying she has “the best body” and is “voluptuous.”
  • On radio host Howard Stern’s show, he agreed when Stern asked if he could refer to Ivanka as “a piece of ass,” responding “Yeah.”
  • On TV show The View, he joked that if Ivanka weren’t his daughter, “perhaps I’d be dating her,” and also talked about whether she would pose for Playboy while commenting on her figure.
  • In a 1990s interview about his then‑baby daughter Tiffany, he said she had her mother’s legs, then gestured toward his chest and said they didn’t know if she had “this part yet” and that “time will tell,” which many viewers later described as creepy and inappropriate.

These clips have resurfaced repeatedly over the years and are often discussed as examples of his long pattern of talking about women, including his own children, in a way many people see as sexualized and unsettling.

Why it’s trending again

  • Old interviews and TV clips get re‑circulated whenever Trump is in the news heavily, especially during elections or major controversies, which keeps these remarks in the online spotlight.
  • Commentators, comedians, and social media users frequently reference the quotes (“If Ivanka weren’t my daughter…”, the Howard Stern exchange, and the Tiffany interview) as shorthand for criticizing his attitude toward women.

Forum and public reaction

  • Many people describe the comments as “creepy,” “disturbing,” or “not normal,” arguing that most parents would never speak that way about their daughters on national TV or radio.
  • Supporters sometimes dismiss the remarks as off‑the‑cuff joking, saying Trump is provocative and not meant to be taken literally, while critics see them as part of a broader pattern of sexist and boundary‑crossing behavior.

In online discussions and forums, the same handful of quotes and clips are usually what people mean when they ask “what did Donald Trump say about his daughter,” especially the “dating her” line and the Howard Stern appearance.
