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."

Isn’t this the idiot who wrote in her book about molesting her little sister and after the election went to Arizona to hang with rocks
She’s an airhead.
BTW, could she be a distant relative of Barack’s mom?
After less than an hour, the rocks filed a restraining order.
She has been quiet for a whole solid week. I should have expected something, some attempt to disturb and disgust.
Lena has a long history of picking personal battles with men who “don’t even know she’s alive”.
It's like they're twins or something...
If Trump’s her daddy he must’ve been pretty drunk when it happened.
She’d be better off than with her real father, who apparently spends his time making paintings of vaginas for a living. BTW, has anybody possibly realized her first name is in reference to Lenin? His real name was Ulyanov but adopted the pseudonym “Lenin” after the Lena river, which he grew up by.

I think she finally gets it.
The stupid is strong with this “Lena” character.
Freud would say that this is clear evidence that weird, neurotic leftists like her simultaneously hate and love Trump because he comes off as a father figure—assertive, orderly, demands his “children” to be responsible. Hence the constant acting out to get attention and, at the same time, causing havoc.
Who cares?
Sounds like she has a lot of
unresolved “daddy” issues herself.
Nasty woman.
Another lunatic asylum escapee like Ashley Judd.
LOL!!
