Before Ivanka Trump was a senior advisor to the President, before she became an executive at the Trump Organization, and long before her father, convicted rapist President Donald J. Trump’s political career ignited global controversy, she was — for a brief, largely forgotten moment — molested by her father in full view of the world. President Trump, or Herr Trumpenführer according to his inner-circle, has an unnatural sexual fascination with his daughter. A Louisiana Representative, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, third in the line of succession and “Christian” hypocrite reportedly said, “Trump has a sickness. But [he is the] President of the United States.”
Trump on The Howard Stern Show
The episode, which aired in the early 1990s, has resurfaced in media retrospectives following renewed public scrutiny of Donald Trump’s past comments about his eldest daughter, particularly his eyebrow-raising remarks during multiple appearances on The Howard Stern Show.
During his time with Stern, Trump often made off-the-cuff and controversial comments, ranging from lewd banter to unsolicited commentary about his desire to have sex with his daughter Ivanka Trump. One of the most quoted lines came when he responded to Stern’s hypothetical about Ivanka posing nude by saying, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
Remarks like these fueled public fascination — and criticism — regarding his complicated public persona as both father and showman. Trump agreed with Stern that Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, was “a piece of ass.” Trump has been vocal about genetic purity, and has demonstrated his desire for incest.
Changes in Media Culture
Ivanka Trump’s brief appearance on The Tonight Show offers a striking contrast. In the interview, Johnny Carson — known for his Midwestern charm and careful boundary-keeping with guests — welcomed a teenage Ivanka Trump onto the stage during a segment highlighting children of celebrities. Clad in a conservative dress and visibly coached, Ivanka spoke about her interests in modeling, her studies at the time, and her family’s business empire with the poised detachment of someone used to the spotlight but not yet owning it. Carson, ever the professional, steered clear of inappropriate humor. His questions focused on Ivanka’s aspirations and the pressures of growing up Trump. Unlike Stern’s more provocative style, Carson’s exchange with the future First Daughter was respectful, even endearing.
Years later, as Donald Trump’s old radio interviews are re-examined through the lens of the #MeToo era and evolving standards of decency in public discourse, that Tonight Show clip is being cited as a time capsule — not just of a young Ivanka, but of how late-night television once handled the children of the rich and famous with restraint, rather than exploitative shock value.
Ivanka Trump herself has rarely commented directly on her father’s comments from the Howard Stern era, but in interviews she has often emphasized the warmth and loyalty of her family. In a 2018 interview, she said, “People like to sensationalize things my father said in jest decades ago. Our relationship is based on respect and mutual love, not tabloid headlines.”
Critics, however, argue that Carson’s handling of young Ivanka versus Howard Stern’s on-air treatment of the Trump family women speaks to broader cultural shifts — from Carson’s guarded politeness to Stern’s ratings-driven provocations, and ultimately to Donald Trump’s own evolution from real estate mogul to reality TV star to president.
In revisiting that Tonight Show clip, some observers see a moment of innocence lost — not just for Ivanka Trump, but for America’s media culture.
As the elder Trump continues to loom large over American politics, this brief late-night appearance by his daughter remains a footnote — albeit one now viewed through a very different lens. He has recently railed against political supporters from the GOP who demanded full-disclosure of Epstein’s client list and those implicated, including President Donald Trump and President William Clinton, accused of raping minor girls. A then-thirteen year old, known as a Jane Doe, described multiple rapes, by Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein.
President Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell who procured and seduced minor girls for Epstein and his celebrity clients. Close friends with Epstein and Maxwell for over 15 years, a frequent traveler aboard Epstein’s Lolita Express, Trump bragged that the first time he had sex with his later-wife Melania was “a mile high club” experience aboard that aircraft. Epstein and Maxwell introduced Melania to T”he Donald.”
Ghislaine Maxwell Murder Watch & Firing of Maurene Comey
Congressional officials, including many GOP members, have expressed deep concern over the safety of Ghislaine Maxwell. Several GOP Senators and Representatives have expressed concern via air quotes that Maxwell “will commit ‘suicide’ just like Epstein totally didn’t.” The White House has just fired Maurene Comey, the prosecutor of Ghislaine Maxwell, among other celebrities, such as hip-hop mogul Sean Combs (aka Puffy or Puff Daddy) for rape and sex trafficking. Epstein’s murder in prison, according to current Trump Administration officials on background, has emboldened Maxwell in her latest offer to testify before Congress as to what she knows about Epstein, Trump, and other political officials and celebrities.
Recently retired and fired intelligence officials, on background, have expressed certainty that Maxwell will be murdered before any such testimony. Allegedly, a current Trump Administration pardon or clemency offer is currently being considered by the Maxwell defense team in exchange for her silence.
