(the only time they get caught out is when someone films them, which happens more these days. The punishment for lying in a situation like this... None)

• Donald Trump Once Joked He and Ivanka hAd "Sex" in Common • Trump's lewd talk about daughter #Ivanka in front of White House staff
According to The New Republic, "'Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter, Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book."
• "You remind me of my daughter": Stormy Daniels testifies that Trump compared her to Ivanka • Donald Trump's comments about daughter raise eyebrows • Trump told Howard Stern it's OK to call Ivanka a 'piece of a--'
• Trump: 'If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her' • Trump on Ivanka: 'She has the 'best body' — and I created her' • Trump: 'Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife'? • Trump Encouraged His Own Daughter Ivanka to Release a Sex Tape, and She Was Horrified
Bonus:
• Trump: commenting on his 1-year-old daughter Tiffany's breasts. He also says "she's got Marla's legs."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:phxvjc4civo3rgchsn6edmdw/bafkreictx5eaqbc2drjnhdmhuhjnl2yawjfkhkpo5r6nm35zpu5m5p7xmq@jpeg)
