> We just elected President the world's poorest billionaire, so you can bet everything will be for sale.

I have the feeling that Trump will be a worse copy of Berlusconi. Both have a fetish for young girls (Trump even said he 'd date his daughter, if she weren't related to him), both are extremely focused on PR, both do not really like politics based on facts, Berlusconi abused and manipulated the Italian court system in his years as president to avoid punishments - and I bet my ... that Trump will do the same.

What's wrong with being attracted to young women (his daughter is no longer a "girl" in any sense of the word)?


Do you not see that there's something inherently creepy about talking about your own daughter as a sexual object?


Saying someone is good looking enough for sex isn't "sexual objectification". He just chose a bit awkward way of pointing out she's beautiful. Not creepy, although probably crude and/or primitive. Personally, I applaude him for that, I favor freedom of expression to political correctness. But I do understand how others would be appalled.


Because modern moral values finds pedophilia reprehensible? Because viewing children as sexual objects is disgusting?
