What if Ivanka was not "pretty" or " attractive"?

For some years now Trump has always made comments about how hot his daughter is. Commenting on her body etc. What if Ivanka was not "pretty" or "attractive"? What if she was overweight, maybe just slightly in his opinion? Would she get all this praise from him?
Would she be in the forefront of his campaign? Would she had even been on the Apprentice? Would she had given that speech at the RNC? Just a thought.

Frankly every one of the "Trump" women look very plastic to me. Maybe they haven't had surgery, maybe it's just the pounds of makeup they all wear but they look fake.

If a child of his was not up to his standards, Trump would probably hide them and make sure they were never mentioned. Something like Prince John that the British Royals kept hidden:

not to speculate wildly about a 10 year old, but some people are saying the young Trump baron may be on the spectrum.

They had a woman who played with him when they were both children. She was the daughter of a workman in the area of the country estate where John was exiled. The program had speculation that the royal family did not want people in their circle knowing of John's problems.

The woman said John was a funny, engaging child. He may have had epilepsy in a time when there were no drugs to help control the seizures but otherwise he was reasonably healthy. He probably was closer to the mild Asperger's end of the autism spectrum than full blown detached from human contact type.

The royal family hid him because he was not what they expected from a royal heir. As a non-perfect specimen he was embarrassing to them. That was the same point about any Trump daughter that might not be attractive enough for her father to consider her a "10" - she would either be "fixed" or she would be hidden away.

Trump himself is probably on the autism spectrum aside from his narcissistic tendencies. He's terrible at interpersonal contact, fairly knowledgeable about restricted areas of interests and completely ignorant about things that don't catch his attention. I haven't read much about his youngest son, only enough to know he exists.

I think much of it came out from the Duke of Windsor's letters which displayed an appalling lack of sensitivity to the the little boy. I don't think his parents were quite as cold towards him, apart from the fact that they were cold British royals to begin with.

He was seen in public as a small boy, but his epilepsy worsened as he moved toward adolescence. I am not condoning George and Mary, but I can understand the family at that time and at their station not wanting the public seeing his seizures.

His life was too short, but young John probably had the happiest life of all their kids.

I don't think Trump has autism (Barron might though) but many, many people are saying he has a host of personality disorders. I'm hearing this all over the place.

I'm saying that any daughter of Donald Trump's that is not up to his limited standards (beauty only) would be kept out of the public view.

She would have consented to it in order to get daddy's approval.
Tiffany did not have a relationship with Trump while growing up and did not succumb to that pressure.

BTW, the word is that Ivanka did have plastic surgery and looks plastic in person. Also, her hair is very thin and that she uses extensions. I heard this from folks who live on the Upper East Side, one of whom used to get hair done at the same place as Ivanka.

Ivanka had plastic surgery. She also changed her hair through extensions.
Some posters below in this thread posted Ivanka's before and after plastic surgery pictures. She looked more like her mother in the before photo.

Tiffany is an attractive-enough girl but not good enough for the Donald apparently.

Got nothing against the op if she didn't do it for her father

if not for the fact that she looks like a model. I've noticed that he never mentions or spotlights his other daughter, who doesn't fit the supermodel beauty standard as well, although she's still a conventionally "pretty" blonde.

If he had a daughter who was actually overweight, he'd probably make her life a living hell until she lost weight. I think he sees the women in his life only in terms of how they reflect his image. I'm sure he thinks his wife has to be faithful, subservient, and always put together in appearance (a perfect trophy wife). His daughters are probably allowed to be more outspoken and intelligent – but only because those are his genes on display.

under all that makeup and botox. Same with Melania - they two of them are so primped and painted they look like big plastic dolls. Tiffany (judging by my one view of her at the GOP convention) is still young enough that she hasn't had any obvious plastic surgery - she looked like a nice, normal human being.

I suspect that there was sexual abuse between Trump and Ivanka. Maybe not being in his own sick mind pretty enough Tiffany was spared sexual abuse. I could be wrong but there is just to many things said and seen to say otherwise. I would never leave a girl alone with him.

Big nose? Rhinoplasty! Bad teeth? Orthodontics! Small tits? Implants!

She's a direct reflection of him, you see, and can't possibly be left in some unattractive state, even if she is only a brainless female.
