Donald Trump’s comments about a 12-year-old Paris Hilton are plain creepy

The Trump train of immorality just keeps rolling on.

The story? Donald Trump called Paris Hilton ‘incredibly beautiful’ and spoke about her in a highly sexualised way. The problem? He was speaking about her when she was just 12 years old.

In a 2003 radio interview that has resurfaced Trump is recorded as saying;

“Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton,” he said. “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’”

“Did you wanna bang her?” asked the presenter.

“Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested,” Trump said, “I’ve never been into that … but she was beautiful.”

Trump then went on to call Hilton “dumb like a fox” and admitted that he watched her sex tape. This is a woman who he has known since she was a child and whose parents are apparently friends of his.

Donald Trump’s sexual ethics have been called into question before, most incestuously when, in an interview with The View, he spoke about his daughter, saying: “she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, I would be dating her”.

Trump’s moral bankruptcy has become a familiar story of the American presidential campaign.
