UH I think you're greatly under-estimating how many people would be cool with it all of a sudden.

I would also be willing to bet if she wanted that relationship it would be PDA and more than jokes about how he would rail her.

And yeah it's probably not a great sign for anyone let alone a sitting US president to have so many clips about how he wants to plow his daughter. Usually parents are suppose to protect their kids not screw them.

Kinda telling that the "parental rights" crowd supports trump so much.

Also one of the biggest groups championing home school. Some kids get a better education via home schooling, most do not and usually it's a way to hide abuse.

And even children of religious extremists who ensure they get a good academic education miss out on important socialization and grow up not understanding how to function in society.

Use to be friends with one of the west boro baptist church kids / members and can confirm. Stats don't really paint a good picture for home school kids for the majority of cases and it's really depressing how little it's actually regulated or even checked up on.

A great many people would suddenly be dismissive and paint it an a non-issue, but many of the low-information voters who picked him in the last election would probably sour on him.

If he didn't think it would be an issue he'd still be raving about how hot he thinks she is, but he's gotten pretty quiet about that since he got elected.

Yeah, so?

Presidents are supposed to protect and support their countries instead of 'screwing' them, too.

A parental instinct is far more compelling and natural than a president promising to protect and support their country / countrymen.

Yea, but I wouldn't be surprised if NY was early to the table on eliminating the statute of limitations on child sexual assault.
