My 18-month-old daughter swore when she heard that Trump had won, says Keira
KEIRA Knightley has revealed her 18-month-old daughter swore over Donald Trump’s election win – but it made her proud.
The actress, 31, claimed toddler Edie greeted the billionaire’s victory speech by closing her eyes and saying “f***”.
It came as the President-elect was nominated Time magazine’s person of the Year – beating a shortlist including former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, Beyonce and Vladimir Putin.
Miss Knightley described the moment her daughter reacted to the shock win during an appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star said: ‘She is talking a lot, she’s running, she’s literally repeating everything we say so we’re having to be really careful and we are being really careful but we had this really weird thing the night of the American election.
‘I brought her into bed and she’s ... watching the television, completely silently and totally still for about four minutes and she rolls over onto her back and she closes her eyes and she goes ‘f***’.’
Knightley, whose appearance on the ITV show will be aired on Saturday, added she was ‘very proud’ of her daughter’s outburst.
Despite dividing opinion, Trump was given the top accolade by Time magazine for giving a ‘long overdue rebuke to an arrogant governing class’. Time editor Nancy Gibbs said the President-elect ‘violated norms’ and added that ‘no single individual has so defied expectations’.
Praising Trump’s appeal as ‘part hope, part snarl’, she said he represents ‘broad, deep, historic change’ to his fans while opponents see ‘politics poisoned by vile streams of racism, sexism, nativism’.
In an essay explaining Mr Trump’s choice, Miss Gibbs said that his campaign ‘dissolved party lines and dispatched the two reigning dynasties of US politics’, the Clintons and the Bushes. The publication chooses its person of the year based on who has had the most influence on the world ‘for better or worse’.
German chancellor Angela Merkel was chosen in 2015. However, past choices have included Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
Yesterday Madonna claimed that Trump won because ‘women betrayed us’. The singer said women supported the tycoon because they were ‘jealous’ of his rival Hillary Clinton.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, the 58-year-old said: ‘Women hate women. That’s what I think it is. Women’s nature is not to support other women. It’s really sad. Men protect each other, and women protect their men and children. Women turn inward and men are more external.’
She added: ‘A lot of it has do with jealousy and some sort of tribal inability to accept that one of their kind could lead a nation.’
