While watching a 16-year-old girl host the Miss Teen USA pageant, Donald Trump turned to the woman next to him, who happened to be Miss Universe, and said of the 16-year-old, “She's pretty, right?”

He also called her “voluptuous” and agreed that she was “a piece of ass.” Yes, they could describe this as “locker room talk” in the great tradition of “grab them by the pussy,” except for one additional detail. He was talking about his daughter, Ivanka – who he has also said that if she weren't his daughter, he might be “dating” her.
