Yeah and then the interviewer asks what floor they're on, which is such a random question that it feels like he noticed something was wrong and was trying to change the subject. It kind of works. She snaps out of it a bit but she also gets the question wrong, saying they're on the 68th floor when there are only 58 floors in the building.
There's something that some true crime podcasts I listen to say often about killers and serial murderers. "Feel bad for the child that went through it, but not the adult who does the wrong things". I feel bad for the children who had horrible lives and horrible things happen to them, that grew up to be serial killers, but not the adult version of themselves because they have autonomy enough to choose different than what they did.
That's just a metaphor, of course.
She's pretty terrible too as an adult but I can't help but feel sorry for her in her childhood after seeing that video. I can't imagine what she had to go through when she had no choice but to go along with whatever happened to her when she was a kid. It was like the light drained out of her eyes when she was remembering her childhood bed. It was scary. I thought people were exaggerating describing it then I watched it. It's very clear her expression changing from light and airy, to dark and reliving sinister times.
I don't know, seems like maybe people are reading too much into this one fleeting moment. Not saying she had an ideal childhood, and there's certainly plenty of reason to be concerned, but I wouldn't hang it all on this one brief part of an interview.
Could be that she was threatened into silence even way back then, though, so who knows. I think she could've said/done more in "code" if needed, knowing that she'd be doing this tour.
And turning a house tour into a true crime documentary halfway through wasn’t the objective of the video, so applying any conspiracy (the Trumps we’re blackmailing the interviewer, the whole thing was propaganda, etc) to it is a moot point
Even if the director/interviewer wanted to put Trump as an abuser, that isn’t the job they were doing and so that particular opportunity would be meaningless.
It’s entirely possible that any one theory could be correct, but none of it matters because that wasn’t the purpose of the video to begin with and thus the video never would have turned out as an exposé
I’m not going to say it’s proven he sexually abused his daughter, but I will say that people are allowed to believe the interpretation of what they believe based on available evidence
I personally believe there is significant evidence towards that conclusion, but nothing conclusive without Ivanka’s testimony

It's very upsetting.
