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) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4418524/ivanka-trump-donald-daughter-touching-reaction/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4418524/ivanka-trump-donald-daughter-touching-reaction/"},"headline":"Twitter Erupts Over Donald Trump's Embrace of Daughter Ivanka at RNC","datePublished":"2016-07-22T03:59:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:02:59.439Z","description":"\"Vomit vomit vomit\"","url":"https://time.com/4418524/ivanka-trump-donald-daughter-touching-reaction/","keywords":["motto","politics","Donald Trump","Republican National Convention","Ivanka Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdefba3ecdcf2315a/69889ec0196cf4151103c86f/ap_552122811916.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Simon Lewis","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/simon-lewis/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdefba3ecdcf2315a/69889ec0196cf4151103c86f/ap_552122811916.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"OH: Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Speaks At Republican National Convention Day 4","caption":"OH: Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Speaks At Republican National Convention Day 4","creditText":"Anthony Behar—Sipa USA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4418524/ivanka-trump-donald-daughter-touching-reaction/","name":"Twitter Erupts Over Donald Trump's Embrace of Daughter Ivanka at RNC"}}]}] ```
