Old photos of Trump with his daughter Ivanka have resurfaced. They're real

While the president is frequently the subject of digitally edited or AI-generated images, these are genuine scenes from years ago.

By Aleksandra Wrona
Published July 23, 2025

Claim:

Two photos shared on social media authentically showed U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

Rating:
True

For years, two photos have spread on social media that purportedly show U.S. President Donald Trump with his daughter Ivanka as a child sitting on his lap.

The photos resurfaced on social media in July 2025, as Trump's connection to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came under new scrutiny. Critics of Trump shared the images with the sarcastic caption: "He is not weird! Why are you calling him weird?"

said it was ok to call his daughter "a piece of ass", commented on her "voluptuous" breasts, and said if she wasn't his daughter he would date her...at the 2016 RNC when Ivanka came on stage to give her speech Trump greeted her with a hug and a hand on her butt... not the least bit incestuous...am I right???

waiting the for the denials, the gaslighting, and the Obama/Biden/Clinton conspiracy bullshit

He was elected twice and has three and a half years to go on this one.

Frankly, nobody gives a shit about Obama birther lies, Biden's senility, Vance's couch screwing, nor Trump's daily outrageousness, nor anything really...They vote for who they personally like, facts be damned.

Remember what Trump said before the 2016 election, (and he was right).

"I could shoot someone in broad daylight on Fifth avenue, and people would still elect me"

Has anyone else? If they did, they certainly didn't take photos and post them, nor do so in front of others...

No, I'm not talking about hugging or comforting or anything of the like. There are plenty of ways to show affection to your young daughter that is not like the depiction in those photos. I'll just leave it there...

I man willing to do that in public to his daughter, what was he doing behind closed doors.

I also believe this is the real reason for his falling out with Epstein. Epstein wanted her and trump said nope, she's mine.

Highly doubtful. Ivanka was 23 when the falling out between Trump and Epstein occurred. Epstein was obviously into under age girls, not 23 year olds.

So many levels of inappropriate it’s hard to name them all. Look at how she has her feet kicked up like a woman in a 60s romantic film. You talk about sexualizing children and young women!

create a modeling career for Ivanka. They "shopped" her around to model agencies. He has a problem. Can't imagine a decent, intelligent, mature man who would be running a teen beauty pageant. But that's a world that obviously attracted him.

He was a single father, and just the two of them lived together. I was somewhat friends with her, but she was about two years younger than me (maybe we were 17 and 15). She used to tell me all about it.

That I have all these incestuous pedo pics/dialogue/actions of him with his own daughter imprinted in my memory bank so completely that I can recall them in detail. All because I've never forgotten the perversions that we've seen from him over the years.

and then let her testify where Daddy inappropriately "touched" her when she was a child. She can use a "doll" to depict the Turd's incestuous pedophilia.

with Trump and Marla Maples right after Tiffany's birth. The reporter asks about the baby and Trump comments on the potential for her legs to be long and her breasts to be big. His newborn daughter. That was what he was thinking about. Marla just laughed it off.

He is beyond sick and demented. There is no depth too low for him, and his dreams of incestuous pedophilia.

I read every day about good and decent people dying, and yet here he is, still living in the lap of luxury at our expense, and he gets away with all of his horrific crimes, without accountability. Imagine if he was a poor young black man selling cigarettes on a street corner...

I really see little hope for this country. it will take decades for the US to recover, if it ever can. This Baby Boomer will be long dead by then.

is guilty of anything. MSM gives him the benefit of the doubt without mentioning decades of context. In other circumstances, pundits and journalists would all be talking about the convictions, photos, quotes, Billy Bush video, accusations of sexual assault, teen pagents, grabbing, etc to point toward some real weirdness and feel safe in assuming the worst.

I think, where Ivanka was the celebrity showing them around. She shows the camera her childhood room and they show her bed. Something about her reaction in that room shows a victim that had totally shut down.

I've thought that he CSA'd her for a very long time. I thought he'd do the same to Tiffany but Marla was smart enough to move to the West Coast. If he had access he'd have tried.
