The Daily Show just revealed a bizarre, gross clip of Trump musing about his 1-year-old daughter's future breast size
One of the joys of having children, presumably, is seeing yourself reflected in them as they grow: their similar-colored eyes, or laugh, or dislike of asparagus. It is maybe less normal, though, to praise your infant for the sexy qualities that drew you to your partner.
Enter Donald Trump.
During Tuesday night's episode of The Daily Show, host Trevor Noah revealed a rarely-seen clip of Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples, appearing on an early '90s episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and discussing their baby girl, Tiffany. The host, Robin Leach, innocently asks Trump what attributes he thinks the 1-year-old has inherited from himself, and from Maples.

"Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla," Trump begins. Then things get weird: "She's a really beautiful baby. She's got Marla's legs." Trump then indicates large breasts with his hands and says, "We don't know whether or not she's got this part yet, but time will tell."
Noah's reaction? A literal loss of words. "He could have said anything!" Noah finally recovers enough to say. "And he went with legs and possibly boobs, which is not the correct answer."
The takeaway: "We know for sure there's no female too small for Trump to not reduce her to her body parts," Noah says. Watch for yourself, below. Jeva Lange
