Revelations from Miles Taylor
Revelations about the former president’s comments regarding Ivanka were described in a new book by Miles Taylor, a one-time Trump administration official who was in charge of the Department of Homeland Security and spoke previously about Trump’s sexism.
The famous Anonymous New York Times Op-Ed
In 2018, Taylor penned an op-ed for the New York Times anonymously talking about the resistance he and others in the former president’s administration were mourning against Trump’s most dangerous policies and discussed what he saw as “erratic behavior.”
Warning about Trump
Taylor later revealed that he was the author behind the anonymous op-ed as well as the man who wrote the anonymous book A Warning, detailing the unique threat that Donald Trump posed to American democracy. But both pale in comparison to his latest work.
Awkward and creepy comments
In a new book, ‘Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy’, Taylor has revealed a side of the former president that many knew existed but few thought would ever be exposed in the light of day—Trump’s awkward and creepy desire to be with his daughter Ivanka.
Worrying if true
According to an extract of the new book obtained by Newsweek, Trump allegedly made several lurid and appalling remarks about Ivanka, including some about her appearance as well as comments on what he thought it might be like to sleep with his daughter.
What aides say Trump said
“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor wrote in his new book according to Newsweek.

“Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father,” Trump told reporter Paul Solotarff shortly after Solotarff met Ivanka, and there have been several other concerning comments long before that one.
“A piece of…”
The Independent noted Trump once referred to his daughter Ivanka as a “piece of a**” in a 2003 interview on the Howard Stern Show and then later reaffirmed his view in 2024 when he was back on the show and questioned by Stern about his earlier remarks.
Ivanka has a nice figure![]()
Trump also once said his daughter had a nice figure while on The View and explained he would date Ivanka if he wasn’t her father. “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her,” he said. “Isn’t that terrible? How terrible! Is that terrible?”
Trump’s sexism exposed
These types of comments reveal the former president’s sexism according to the Newsweek exposé on Taylor’s comments about Trump, and it isn’t just his daughter that was the focus of Trump’s desires, several staffers have commented on his behavior.
Proof from other staffers
Olivia Troye was an advisor to Mike Pence and told Newsweek in May about the former president’s improper treatment of female staffers in his administration was a well-known secret: “He did it openly and made the comments openly even in meetings.”

Miles Taylor told Newsweek there were still “quite a few female leaders” from the former president’s administration who “held their tongues about the unequal treatment they dealt with at best” and at worst stayed quite about the “absolute naked sexism they experienced.”
Trump’s second term would be more dangerous
All of this is important because it has worked to alienate the most competent individuals in the Republican Party according to Taylor, individuals who likely won’t help Trump form a competent administration if he wins in 2024, making his presidency more dangerous.
