Here’s ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner with Donald Trump‘s daughter, Ivanka Trump.

During a 2006 appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Trump was asked about Ivanka potentially posing for Playboy. He infamously replied, “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

But let’s get back to why Trump hates Weiner.

In August, 2015, Trump went after Weiner (D-Schlongsville)  in the most vicious of ways, calling him a “perv” and a “sleazebag.” (This was, of course, before the world heard him on an Access Hollywood bus saying that when you’re a star you can just start kissing women or, you know, “grab them by the pussy.”)

At the rally last summer, he riffed on Weiner’s potential knowledge of classified info, saying, “Who is Huma married to? One of the great sleazebags of our time — Anthony Weiner. You know the bing bing bing…I love you very much. She’s married to Anthony Weiner, who’s a perv. No, he is. He is. …If you think that Huma isn’t telling Anthony — who she’s probably desperately in love with in all fairness to Anthony, because why else would she marry him? Do you think there’s even a 5 percent chance that she’s not telling Anthony Weiner what the hell is coming across?”
