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."
Did she steal this outfit from that fashion guru, moochie obimbo?
She’s 30 but those are the legs of a 70 year old.
Serious question.
Does this Lena character go out of her way to look terrible?
She can go on a diet, get a decent hairstyle, learn to shop for clothes that look nice, shave her armpits and learn to use makeup.
Is her goal to force people to find her appealing through some sort of guilt trip even though the reality is rational people have eyes, ears and common sense?
Not worth noting.
She definitely has “daddy issues” as most libtard females do.
Nope. She's a natural and can do it effortlessly.
kinda like certain farm animals
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Lovely Lena. If she came to Panama City Beach they would have to shut down "Spring Break" for obvious reasons. But maybe she could help with the state's problems with pythons (not Monty Python).
Ashley Judd is a vessel for Satan. She is seriously bad.
I know of no Farm Animal that looks worse than Lena, and we watch The Incredible Dr. Pol show every Saturday night.
I’ve seem a lifetime of prolapsed “organs” watching that show, and none of them looks worse than poor Lena either.
Has Lena stopped engaging in incest with her sister?
An offense to the ear as well as the eye.
Didn’t this dingbat promise to leave the country if Trump were elected? Well she better get her fat butt packing. I would suggest she go to some nice Muslim country and really learn about how women are oppressed.
Yeah, a 70 year old cow.
Who’s yer Daddy Lena?
Gee I dunno Vet. Warmth in February, shade in August.
If there’s no moon she’s streetable.
And fat chicks are grateful ...
Series, I don’t want her u can have her she’s too fat for me.
OK, no more Lena Dunham. She’s beyond irrelevant.
The father archetype is most hated by child women... until they get AiDS or marry an ISIs bride or something, and then they turn around. But there is no telling how low each and everyone of them
is will to go before that. It depends. Some girls it is after clean a party’s vomit, others it has to
go further
We’ve already embraced the meme and turned it around on them.
When will they learn?
I have to admit, I am terribly jealous of Ivanka. She had three babies and looks fantastic. I had two and can never wear a two-piece swimsuit again. *sigh*
