Donald Trump had his sons speak on Tuesday and Wednesday. Next up at the Republican National Convention: his daughter Ivanka._ by [Simon Lewis](https://time.com/author/simon-lewis/) ## Simon Lewis Jul 22, 2016 3:59 AM UTC by [Simon Lewis](https://time.com/author/simon-lewis/) ## Simon Lewis Jul 22, 2016 3:59 AM UTC Donald Trump has once again creeped out the Internet, this time with a “so inappropriate” embrace of his daughter Ivanka. The 34-year-old businesswoman and former model — Trump’s daughter with his Czech-born first wife Ivana — delivered a speech a the Republican National Convention at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday night. The questionable touching occurred when the Republican nominee for November’s presidential election greeted his daughter on stage. > [](https://twitter.com/lolli%5Flogan/status/756312678595911680) After a collective double take, a memorable GIF was posted online, showing Trump appearing to touch Ivanka’s “upper butt” as [one tweeter](https://twitter.com/tauycreek/status/756325374867439616) put it. > [](https://twitter.com/maryellen/status/756315703523864576) “Vomit vomit vomit,” [tweeted](https://twitter.com/pazonada/status/756316732244029441) one person. > [](https://twitter.com/Paper%5FI%5FDoll/status/756321137257242624) > [](https://twitter.com/Margoandhow/status/756326402719354880) > [](https://twitter.com/TheBlakeDriver/status/756326665400127488) It’s not the first time Trump’s relationship with his daughter has disturbed people. In a [joint talk show appearance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP7yf8-Lk80) in 2006, he said Ivanka Trump had a “very nice figure” during a discussion of whether she should pose for _Playboy_ magazine. “I’ve said that if Ivanka wasn’t my daughter,” said the man now running for president, “perhaps I’d be dating her.” > [](https://twitter.com/blurbette/status/756312973765775360) > [](https://twitter.com/christysawyers/status/756324068484349952) > [](https://twitter.com/Dave4219/status/756328340504453120) ## Transcript [ APPLAUSE ] For more than a year Donald Trump has been the people's champion. And tonight he is the people's nominee. Like many of my fellow millinuals, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and for my country. Sometimes it's a tough choice. That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment, and Donald Trump is the person to make America great again. [ APPLAUSE ] My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic. [ APPLAUSE ] In our business, you're not a builder unless you've got a building to show for it. Or, in my father's case, city skylines. [ APPLAUSE ] At my father's company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do And when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported not shut out. [ APPLAUSE ] As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage of discrepancy in this country, motherhood is. As President, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce. And he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all. He will fight For equal pay, for equal work, and I will fight for this too right along side of him. When my father says that he will make America great again, he will deliver. Politicians ask to be judged. By their promises, not their results. I ask you to judge my father by his results. Judge his values by those he's instilled in his children. I've loved and respected him my entire life and I could not be more proud tonight to present to you and to all of America My father and our next president, Donald J Trump.
