This photo from a @xeni thread gives me chills.

Ivanka is **9 years old** - one month before her 10th birthday.

Look at how Trump’s gripping her left shoulder (the thumb) to hold her in place.

More hard grip. See how sexualized she’s dressed. It reminds me of JonBenét Ramsey

‘Donald and Ivanka Trump during Maybelline Presents 1991 Look of the Year in New York City, on Sept. 3, 1991.’

It also reminds me that Trump was friends with Epstein (NY ‘society’) and how pedophiles groom children.

Here #Ivanka is reportedly 15 (1996). TRUMP WAS 50 in 1996.

As she aged, her blond hair darkened (normal). At some point, she (or ‘they’) started bleaching it.

Couldn’t find source for this on-the-bed image but she looks younger than the 1996 pic.

And now she’s blonde. Longer legs; less ‘roundness’ in face (or photo-retouching).

Were these sexualized photos driven by Trump and or the photographer?

Given prevalence, variety and timeline, my guess is the former.

This 2002 article outlines how social forces (ads, fashion) push sexualization and ‘adulthood’ on children and teens.

JHC. Another from 1996.

In June 1996, Trump turned 50.
In October 1996, Ivanka turned 15.
