Two photos shared on social media authentically showed U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

Rating:

True

For years, two photos have spread on social media that purportedly show U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

The photos resurfaced on social media in July 2025, as Trump's connection to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came under new scrutiny. Critics of Trump shared the images with the sarcastic caption: "He is not weird! Why are you calling him weird?"

1. In 2006 on Howard Stern's radio show Trump the degenerate

said it was ok to call his daughter "a piece of ass", commented on her "voluptuous" breasts, and said if she wasn't his daughter he would date her...at the 2016 RNC when Ivanka came on stage to give her speech Trump greeted her with a hug and a hand on her butt... not the least bit incestuous...am I right???

waiting the for the denials, the gaslighting, and the Obama/Biden/Clinton conspiracy bullshit

[iluvtennis]

20. Exactly. There used to be audio clips available on YouTube during 2016 election timeframe. n/t

[Rebl2]

40. 🤮🤮🤮

[TnDem]

46. Yet

He was elected twice and has three and a half years to go on this one.

Frankly, nobody gives a shit about Obama birther lies, Biden's senility, Vance's couch screwing, nor Trump's daily outrageousness, nor anything really...They vote for who they personally like, facts be damned.

Remember what Trump said before the 2016 election, (and he was right).

"I could shoot someone in broad daylight on Fifth avenue, and people would still elect me"

2. I honestly have NEVER met a man who would pose with their young teen daughter like that.

Has anyone else? If they did, they certainly didn't take photos and post them, nor do so in front of others...

No, I'm not talking about hugging or comforting or anything of the like. There are plenty of ways to show affection to your young daughter that is not like the depiction in those photos. I'll just leave it there...

[mercuryblues]

4. That is why I believe he molested her.

I man willing to do that in public to his daughter, what was he doing behind closed doors.

I also believe this is the real reason for his falling out with Epstein. Epstein wanted her and trump said nope, she's mine.

[Wiz Imp]

22. "Epstein wanted her "

Highly doubtful. Ivanka was 23 when the falling out between Trump and Epstein occurred. Epstein was obviously into under age girls, not 23 year olds.

[mercuryblues]

42. How did I get that so wrong?

[JustAnotherGen]

8. The one where

She's in blue jeans - not so bad.

Th other one? ick

[LearnedHand]

30. It's really bad!

So many levels of inappropriate it’s hard to name them all. Look at how she has her feet kicked up like a woman in a 60s romantic film. You talk about sexualizing children and young women!

[allegorical oracle]

39. He was sexualizing her. It was fairly well known that djt and Ivana were hoping to

create a modeling career for Ivanka. They "shopped" her around to model agencies. He has a problem. Can't imagine a decent, intelligent, mature man who would be running a teen beauty pageant. But that's a world that obviously attracted him.

[debm55]

14. I haven't.

[sop]

16. A normal father would never pose with his young teen daughter like that, only a degenerate sleazeball like Trump.

[popsdenver]

28. There were many more pictures

out there with Trump's hands on his daughter, in places that NO father would ever place his hands on his daughter or any other woman (except his wife) for that matter......

[Polybius]

31. I had a neighbor up the block in the 90's who used to take his teen daughter to the nude beach

He was a single father, and just the two of them lived together. I was somewhat friends with her, but she was about two years younger than me (maybe we were 17 and 15). She used to tell me all about it.

[ms liberty]

3. That's not even the worst one

The most disgusting one is them laying on a bed in matching bathrobes.

[mercuryblues]

7. For me it is this one.

She was gyrating on his lap at a Beach Boys concert.

[ms liberty]

10. Yea, I thought of that one too. It's really weird to think

That I have all these incestuous pedo pics/dialogue/actions of him with his own daughter imprinted in my memory bank so completely that I can recall them in detail. All because I've never forgotten the perversions that we've seen from him over the years.

[Xavier Breath]

21. One too many tent poles in that pic.

[JanMichael]

41. The guy in yellow on the right side appears to be looking

And looks rather disgusted.

Who is he?

[electric_blue68]

43. Ghads! Never saw, or heard about This one.

[Aviation Pro]

5. See her flexed and strained bicep as she's gripping his hand?

She’s desperately trying to keep those wandering fingers away.

The fucking pedophile defiled her. Prove me wrong.

[Oopsie Daisy]

6. I remember his creepy butt-patt ON STAGE as she introduced him somewhere...

... the RNC, perhaps? It was surreal... but real.

[ms liberty]

11. He patted his way down her body. I remember it.

[yardwork]

18. Yes, and she moved his hands away like she was used to doing that.

It was very telling.

[debm55]

13. You are right, It was at the RNC.

[Oopsie Daisy]

25. Found it...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1312196/Trump-criticized-inappropriate-embrace-Ivanka-RNC.html

[Hekate]

9. Never forget

Never

[debm55]

12. I haven't seen Ivanka since the Epstein story has resurfaced. Is she okay.?

[11 Bravo]

15. It's even worse than it looks.

The top left-hand photo is cropped in such a way as to obscure the extremely tasteful statue of two parrots fucking (gilded gold parrots, of course).

[yardwork]

19. I feel certain that Trump planned that photo.

It was a little joke. I'm sure of it.

[sop]

29. Pedo Trump in his own words:

[Oopsie Daisy]

36. Disturbing but true... my compliments to the creator of this.

[electric_blue68]

45. Whaa...I hadn't read about the sex ones! Beyond Disgusting!

[BoRaGard]

17. pervo pedo republicons are a disgrace

lock the scurvy bastards up

[dalton99a]

23. Also real:

Crappy quality because it is a photo of a printed photo, but it is real

[Orrex]

24. These were probably taken minutes after he victimized her

Why doesn’t he just fucking die already?

[Tarzanrock]

26. Subpoena Blovanka and put her under oath ...

and then let her testify where Daddy inappropriately "touched" her when she was a child. She can use a "doll" to depict the Turd's incestuous pedophilia.

[Chellee]

27. There's an interview out there

with Trump and Marla Maples right after Tiffany's birth. The reporter asks about the baby and Trump comments on the potential for her legs to be long and her breasts to be big. His newborn daughter. That was what he was thinking about. Marla just laughed it off.

[Grim Chieftain]

32. I remember reading that

He is beyond sick and demented. There is no depth too low for him, and his dreams of incestuous pedophilia.

I read every day about good and decent people dying, and yet here he is, still living in the lap of luxury at our expense, and he gets away with all of his horrific crimes, without accountability. Imagine if he was a poor young black man selling cigarettes on a street corner...

I really see little hope for this country. it will take decades for the US to recover, if it ever can. This Baby Boomer will be long dead by then.

[electric_blue68]

44. Oh, ICK!!!

[xmas74]

48. It was on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

The clips are everywhere and they're disgusting.

[Vinca]

33. They're seriously creepy photos and when you combine them with what he's said about her . . . ewww.

[wiggs]

34. And...everyone is cautious to say that just because his name appears in files doesn't mean he

is guilty of anything. MSM gives him the benefit of the doubt without mentioning decades of context. In other circumstances, pundits and journalists would all be talking about the convictions, photos, quotes, Billy Bush video, accusations of sexual assault, teen pagents, grabbing, etc to point toward some real weirdness and feel safe in assuming the worst.

[Diamond_Dog]

37. He is such a pig.

And that is too kind of a description.

[Johonny]

38. Given the rights disgusting use of Biden photos

With his grand kids, I have no problem using these photos to smear Trump. Ivanka made herself fair game years ago.

[xmas74]

47. There's an episode of Mtv Cribs

I think, where Ivanka was the celebrity showing them around. She shows the camera her childhood room and they show her bed. Something about her reaction in that room shows a victim that had totally shut down.

I've thought that he CSA'd her for a very long time. I thought he'd do the same to Tiffany but Marla was smart enough to move to the West Coast. If he had access he'd have tried.
