Hypothesis about Trump and his daughter

I don't find what he said creepy at all.

Do most find it creepy or is it just you?

I am wondering the same thing. The statement about dating his own daughter if she wasn't his daughter is an explicitly hypothetical scenario. Implying that she could pose for Playboy if she wanted to isn't anything bad either.

Would it have been more appropriate to say that he doesn't think that his daughter is attractive and that she would be better off by covering her face with a paperbag all day long?

Maybe the creepy thing is that an old man wants to date women who are half his age or even younger.

Well, the thing is, he seems to think of her as occupying a space on his "how bangable are they" list.  More than just thinking, "How attractive would other people find this person?"  I am not a parent; is this a normal way to think about an adult child? 

"Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father . . ."

That is completely consistent with the OP's hypothesis.  Doesn't actually want to, but acts sort of like he does out of habit.
