Television personality Dr. Phil said on Monday during an interview on “The View” that there’s “nothing creepy” happening when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokes about dating his own daughter.

Trump most recently called his daughter, Ivanka, a “beauty” in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father …” he said in the interview.

He had also said, among other comments about her appearance, that Ivanka had “the best body.”

The co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” discussed with guest Phil McGraw why Trump says the things he does.

“Well, you know, he doesn’t have an edit button, he doesn’t have a muzzle,” McGraw said. “I’ve known Donald for a long time. I know Ivanka. I’ve been around the two of them together. There’s really nothing creepy going on there.”

“Right now, he’s just talking and he doesn’t have the ability to really have any consequences to what he says,” McGraw added.

    “Dr.” Phil has always been creepy to me.

  2. Dr. Feel & The Donald been longtime BFFs: you scratch my wallet & desire for 100% “classy” & public attention, I scratch all of y’alls.

    TPM wasn’t aware of this? Time for TPM to send one of their research staff out to a grocery store to stock up the office fridge: stand in line for a while at a grocery store and you’ll see it’s been all over the tabloids for years.

    As Dr. Phil’s always said, “If the Donald were ever married to Ivanka I’d wife-swap in a minute!”

  4. Let’s have a “Who Cares Vote” on what this carnival barker says or thinks!! This is bull shit!! TPM: Give it up!!!
