Fictional Donald Trump praises daughter Ivanka's 'beautiful rack' in controversial 'Family Guy' preview
Donald Trump’s made no secret of his fondness for Fox News, but he may want to steer clear of Fox this Sunday.
That’s when the broadcaster will air the next episode of Family Guy, which features the animated Griffin family’s adventures in Washington, D.C. According to Entertainment Weekly, the hourlong special will see bumbling patriarch Peter Griffin land a job as Trump’s press secretary, while daughter Meg gets a makeover from new pal Ivanka Trump.
But according to a teaser posted by voice actor Josh Robert Thompson, there’s an inappropriate moment between POTUS and his daughter, whose beauty he has often praised.

The scene, shared on Twitter on Tuesday, shows the first daughter and White House adviser taking Meg to the Oval Office and introducing her to her very orange father.
“Pleased to meet you, Meg,” says the cartoon Trump, who is voiced by Thompson. “You have a beautiful rack.”
“Aw, thanks,” Meg, voiced by Mila Kunis, responds, before Trump cuts her off.
“I was talking to my daughter,” he clarifies.
The clip is already generating controversy online.
“This is not OK,” one Twitter user responded.
“Just sick,” added a commenter.
“Vile,” read another comment.
But some saw it as fair game, with one commenter calling it “art imitating life.”
In addition to taking aim at Trump’s suggestive sound bites — as heard on his infamous Access Hollywood tape from 2005, as well as claims that he remarked on women’s breasts on the set of The Apprentice — the Seth MacFarlane animated comedy is making light of the oft-mocked relationship between Trump and his elder daughter. Much has been made of the president’s comments about his “hot” offspring, which he himself appeared to reference in a speech last November.
“Now I don’t know if they’ll say this is nepotism, but the truth is she’s a very, very — you’re not allowed to use the word beautiful anymore when you talk about women, you’re not allowed, no, no, it’s politically incorrect,” he reportedly said during a campaign rally. “I will never call a woman beautiful again, and every man here, every man here, raise your hand, you will never say your wife, your girlfriend, anybody is beautiful, right?
“I’m not allowed to say, because it’s my daughter Ivanka, but she’s really smart,” he added.
The Trump episode will air on Sunday, Jan. 13.
