Television personality Dr. Phil said on Monday during an interview on "The View" that there's "nothing creepy" happening when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokes about dating his own daughter.
Trump most recently called his daughter, Ivanka, a "beauty" in an interview with Rolling Stone.
"Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father ..." he said in the interview.
He had also said, among other comments about her appearance, that Ivanka had "the best body."
The co-hosts of ABC's "The View" discussed with guest Phil McGraw why Trump says the things he does.
Well, you know, he doesnt have an edit button, he doesnt have a muzzle, McGraw said. I've known Donald for a long time. I know Ivanka. I've been around the two of them together. Theres really nothing creepy going on there.

(61,695 posts)Making comments about your daughter's body is creepy. It's creepy that he draws attention to her body instead of her mind or accomplishments or good nature. He's promoting the value of her sexuality, not her value as a presumably decent human being. It's creepy and superficial and I wouldn't want men looking my daughter that way.
