Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security under former President Donald Trump, discusses the former president’s “naked sexism” in his upcoming book Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump.
Taylor’s book cites various accounts from aides that describe Trump’s lewd comments about his daughter Ivanka‘s physical appearance, including how he talked about “what it might be like to have sex with her.”
He also referred to Ivanka’s breasts and backside, leading White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to tell the president that she was his daughter.
This comes after multiple former staffers came out about Trump’s inappropriate behavior toward women while president and a New York jury found him guilty of sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.
Taylor also includes his personal account of seeing Trump’s behavior toward Kirstjen Nielsen, who was secretary of homeland security from 2017 to 2019. The book states that Nielsen tried to ignore Trump when he called her “sweetie” and “honey” as well as commented on her makeup and clothing choices.
Taylor also said that Kellyanne Conway, who was a senior counselor, once called Trump a “misogynistic bully” after the former president “berated” several high-ranking female decision-makers in the administration about the Mexico border. But a spokesperson from Conway’s team denied that she made the particular remark.
Taylor previously wrote an op-ed in The New York Times in 2018 under the name “Anonymous.” The article, titled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” condemned Trump. In 2020, he shared that he was the author of the op-ed during his campaign against Trump’s re-election.

Trump has a history of what many opponents claim are inappropriate comments about Ivanka. While on The View in 2006 with his daughter, Trump said, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her. Isn’t that terrible? How terrible?”
Ivanka has defended her father, telling CBS News that Trump was “not a groper.” She continued, saying, “He has total respect for women. He believes ultimately in merit.”
