In her latest WTF moment, Lena Dunham designated President Donald Trump as "daddy." The writer and actor posted a baffling sorta-poem this week to Instagram, and the backlash was almost instant.
"Donald Trump only recognizes the humanity of women who look like his daughter, but after this weekend he better know that we are all his daughters," Dunham starts her post.
Her Instagram post has since been deleted, but not before the omniscient eyes of Twitter took her to task.

From dressing up as a "Grabbed Pussy," to wishing she "had an abortion," the Girls creator sometimes comes off on the offensive when addressing contentious issues. Here, she fueled a social media trend.
Feminist author and public speaker Mona Eltahawy was baffled by this "Daddy" phenomenon, jabbing at Dunham before tweeting #TrumpIsNotMyDaddy in retaliation.

The leading lady confronted the ongoing heat between Trump's campaign and the media by saying the two would have to separate their differences and learn to "co-parent" for a supposed 8-year run.

Some have already begun to write her off for good:

Retweets 6 6 likes Dunham took to her Instagram Monday to inadvertently explain why she deleted the post, placing three check marks after her condescending justification:
When it becomes a thread of people spewing hatred and division (not thoughtful dissent) and the word slut is all over the comments and you're like, "this party cannot be saved, and the DJ is bad and the guests took whack Molly."
There’s cellulite and then there’s celluheavy.
Please people. These are maggots. Why do we waste air and time on these scum. I totally avert my gaze and turn up the Rock music. IGNORE THIS BITCH!
Me and another off-road motorcycle friend came across a two week old private plane crash. There were a few plastic bags of remains left behind. We smelled one and both of us spewed our last meals.
THAT IS WHAT i VISION THESE RETARDS SMELLING LIKE.
She must be listening to Milo. Which is a good thing. LOL!
Hmmm, perhaps a different, huskier mother.
I’ll giver her credit....I’m a woman & the majority of us take pride in how we look. We highlight our positive attributes & try & camouflage the negative. And we like to smell nice.
She is like the crazy next door neighbor who always looks unwashed & like she is going to a Halloween party. She’s quite proud of it I believe. Attention grabber all the way.
I’m a big guy and have been since my late twenties, but I have never stooped that low, no matter how much alcohol I consumed.
Being called an airhead, would indicate that there is actually something IN her head. I think there is a total vacuum inside her head.
Fun Fact: Lena Dunham’s father, Carroll Dunham, is famous for painting a series of Vagina Portraits. Each depiction differs in some manner from all the others. No two portraits are alike, except of course when the subject is a pair of twins.
No. I am not making this up.
You are SO lucky I did not consume food yet..otherwise..blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa all over my monitor
The LefTards are eating their own! Pass the Sriracha!
People who stand up always project a look of confidence and self worth.
She holds herself like she is ashamed of her body and has no self confidence.
Her daddy must have been too busy painting vaginas to pay attention to her when she was a child.
There must be a new mental disturbance brewing among the leftists over the beauty of Ivanka Trump. It upsets them.
Maybe they are offended because she has babies and cares for them herself. And is still beautiful.
