(15,030 posts)Only once or twice in White House photos and one was of her wedding. No photos of her on Donald's lap. No TV appearances with her. No saying, "If she wasn't my daughter...." because he wouldn't.
Meanwhile, photos of Ivanka were everywhere.
More interesting, the post was alerted on. It is still standing.

(79,727 posts)I don't know who alerted on you, but some people may feel you missed an important point about rape.
A point I made in response to you.
That most rapists don't care about looks.
It is a crime of violence, humiliation, sexual control.
Most men can get or buy consensual sex with women of any appearance they like.
But rapists don't want that, they like the cruelty and terror they instill.
All of that said, from a clinical perspective some rapists and serial killers are looking for a certain appearance.
So their victims tend to look alike.
And in the particular case of the Trump rapes, appearance of the victim does seem to be an issue.
Stormy and EJean Carroll were both attractive blonds. Two of his wives were attractive blonds.
His daughter he lusts after is an attractive blond.
So I think your comment is legit, but it rubbed some women the wrong way for the reason I outlined.
ETA I wanted to add a point that we should consider. For Trump, it may not be about attractiveness per se, but
about APPEARANCE. Trump's mother was an attractive blond and I wonder if his anger at his mother is a core
issue in his rapes and crimes. Many serial killers of women have mother issues, a lot of anger at the women in their life.
Mister Ed
(6,805 posts)Indeed, we have heard Trump himself retaliate against rape accusations by saying that the accuser wasn't attractive enough for him to rape - for example, in the case of E. Jean Carroll, if I recall correctly.
Irish_Dem
(79,727 posts)So maybe not really about attractiveness but appearance.
MadameButterfly
(3,743 posts)Not attractive enough to win the privelege of being raped by him. That's pretty low.
Irish_Dem
(79,727 posts)As his defense he tells his rape victims that they are too ugly for him to even consider raping them.
Only beautiful women are "lucky" enough for the privilege.
Linda ladeewolf
(1,100 posts)PatSeg
(52,106 posts)but I believe Trump didn't think she was very pretty. Apparently Ivanka was more his "type". It is so bizarre how many times Trump told a woman, "You remind me of my daughter". I've never seen a man do that over and over again.
MizLibby
(389 posts)after all the plastic surgeries he had done on her "ordinary, face, and body" as a young teen. She didn't look like anything like she did on daddy's lap after that. He had her carved into his own little Barbie doll.
PatSeg
(52,106 posts)She was a rather ordinary looking child. Now she is so plastic and has that fake breathless voice.
What I find particularly disturbing is when he tells women they look "like my daughter", they were often women he hit on or slept with. He is really sick man.

(68,960 posts)Maybe Trump demeaned Tiffany out of resentment, because he wasn't allowed to have sex with her.

Farmer-Rick
(12,466 posts)Pedos don't care about their "looks". They care more about their age and sometimes their sex. But it's mostly about corruption, cruelty and access. Not so much which girl is prettier but which little girl can they get their hands on without being caught.
Ivanka was definitely sexually abused because her mother didn't protect her as well. That's why pedo Trump goes on and on about her 'looks". Because Ivanka was more easily available to him. She was his favorite because he got to abuse her regularly. When Ivanka becomes an old lady and her abuser is dead, she's going to come out with it all.
I bet the young boys were also sexually abused by the pedo Trump.
He's an evil disgusting piece of crap and the MAGAts should be ashamed for supporting a pedo.
yardwork
(68,960 posts)I hope you'll think about this.
"Attractiveness" has nothing to do with whether a person is a victim of sexual assault. It is all about having power over another person.
90 year old women are sexually assaulted. Three month old babies are sexually assaulted. Predators look for victims who are vulnerable, and often those are not the prettiest or most popular people.
If you were a sexual predator you would know this. Based on your post, I guess that you've never sexually assaulted anybody - because you don't know how the predators think.
Lots of predators like to brag about what they've done, so people who study their behavior know it's about power, not attraction.

Aside from golf, how would the Felon interact with a young teenage daughter when it was his weekend? Did Marla allow her creepy ex-husband to be alone with her, or only if his other kids were present?
FakeNoose
(40,135 posts)They were only married a few years, unlike his marriage to Ivana which lasted until the first 3 kids were in their teens.
Marla Maples and Chump separated and divorced rather suddenly, and she moved out of his life immediately. I believe there were several years where Chump never saw Tiffany, or his time with her was supervised and restricted. He always paid child support and her education expenses, etc. but wasn't close to her emotionally or physically. I'm sure Marla was over-protective out of fear for her daughter's innocence (and safety.)
At the time, the rumors flying around were that Marla cheated on him, and he dumped her because of her infidelity. I've never believed that for a second, knowing what a liar he's been his entire life.

FakeNoose
(40,135 posts)Supposedly they were buddies until Chump screwed his "friend" out of a real estate deal in 2005 (?). But it also might have been that Chump learned of Epstein's Florida conviction on the morals charge, and decided he didn't want to be friends after that.
Who knows, who cares....

slightlv
(7,438 posts)In my mind... in my opinion... there is no doubt that Ivanka has been sexually molested. Only question I have is was it incest only, or was she shared amongst his friends, too?
If so, it could be one reason why she has no problem seeing him humiliated, demeaned, and thrown away the way things are happening today. If she'd any reason to care about him, she'd have put a stop to all the nonsense and put him in one of the best memory care homes in the country. Instead, we have him running all over the country making a fool of himself and us.

Tina Davis, who worked with Ford Models in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to dress sexy, according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. All the girls were really young, Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. Some of them could have been in training bras.
When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Daviss mother.
During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trumps new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband, she told Ms. Coleman. Protect her.
Ms. Maples denied making the comment. I would always protect young women in any way I could, she said, but I am sure I didnt specifically say that about my daughters father.

I can only imagine what horrors these women and girls have to live with.

(31,178 posts)Of course Marla Maples denies saying what she said, just like Ivana Trump denied that Krasnov dragged her down a flight of stairs by her hair.

So Marla, the only non-immigrant unwise enough to marry that repulsive misogynist sociopath, was nonetheless smart enough to bug out when her daughter was 6. If Shitler's attorneys have more than two brain cells among 'em, she probably faces a huge financial penalty for talking too much truth about the proclivities he shared with his best buddy Jeff.

(31,120 posts)that if she felt that strongly that she warned someone to stay far away from her ex, she should have told the world.
I'm sure he would have impoverished her for breaking an NDA or some shit if she did. I'm trying not to be judgmental, but if he'd been taken down 20 or 30 years ago, countless numbers of humans would have been spared so much pain.
this is a criticism not focused solely on marla maples. Dozens, hundreds, who know how many people tucked their consciences far, far away from themselves in order to maintain their lifestyle. money matters more than people. like guns. guns matter than people too, but that's only because of the money.
when it comes to this particular predator, untold damage. for decades.

(12,558 posts)Krasnov has long been tied to the NYC mafia, among other things. Marla knew what was going on, and didn't want to end up at the bottom of the East River. And now she's still keeping her silence because she saw what happened to Ivana.

Marla has probably lived under a shadow of terror ever since she met and experienced the real "garbage!"
If she had confirmed this it would change absolutely NOTHING, except for maybe her and her family's life expectancy, because that Piggy filth is never held accountable for anything.
And blaming her effectively removes the responsibility from him. It's always win-win for him.

(2,788 posts)Virginia Giuffre's memoir. It was a hard go. Especially the part where she was trying to get someone to listen to her and hold Epstein to account. I can't imagine Marla, especially in those pre-Me-Too days, would have been in a much better place, as far as being able to speak up and be believed.
So when I think about that, I find it a little harder to blame the Mrs. Trumps.

(17,977 posts)She seems to have walked in with her eyes wide open.
GopherGal
(2,788 posts)but I think she was basically trafficked herself -- via the use of the modeling agency as a front for sex work. But, as an immigrant, she had "skin in the game" and couldn't exactly speak up and blow up the whole operation without danger of deportation. An additional issue was that, in her mid-late 30s, she was running up on her expiration date in the "modeling" industry (especially when it was so much in the hands of literal pedophiles...) and had to find her meal ticket/"retirement plan" fast.
Ugh, I feel so dirty (kindof) defending Melania. Time for a shower.

GREG OLEAR (GO)
You wrote something on Blue Sky last week aboutand I think the word you used was transgression. And you said, and Im paraphrasing, that in your experience with the wealth management class and these rich people, the one thing that the super duper rich people have in common is that what animates them is this idea of transgressionof getting away with something.
So talk a little bit about that, because thats not in the book, but its an interesting idea, and I think youre on to something.
BROOKE HARRINGTON (BH)
Many Americans have been really puzzled at the gleeful sadism that many members of the Trump administration have been sharing with the public. Its not like the Nixon tapes, where they were chortling behind closed doors with their nasty racist remarks. These people are, like, shoving people out of the way to get in front of a camera to say, I am a sadistic fuck! I like to kill puppies!
