Donald Trump Says Changing Diapers Is the Wife's Job

It's safe to assume Donald Trump didn't change the diapers of his five children. During a 2005 radio interview, the Republican front-runner said he wouldn't marry a woman who expected him to change a diaper. 

There's a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife and you know there's a lot of husbands that listen to that. So you know, they go for it. If I had [a] different type of wife, I probably wouldn't have a baby, ya know, 'cause that's not my thing. I'm really, like, a great father, but certain things you do and certain things you don't. It's just not for me.

Trump made the comments on The Opie and Anthony Show, which BuzzFeed recently unearthed. But that's not all Trump, whose wife Melania was pregnant with their son Barron in late 2005, had to say about being a dad. In an interview with Howard Stern around the same time, he said:

I won't do anything to take care of them. I'll supply funds and she'll take care of the kids. It's not like I'm gonna be walking the kids down Central Park.

His second wife, Marla Maples, with whom he had Tiffany Trump in 1993, confronted Trump about his hands-off approach to fatherhood. "Well, Marla used to say, 'I can't believe you're not walking Tiffany down the street,' you know in a carriage," Trump told Stern in 2005. "Right, I'm gonna be walking down Fifth Avenue with a baby in a carriage. It just didn't work."

Trump, who has five children with three wives, might not get involved with the hands-on aspects of parenting, but he does have a strict rule for his kids when it comes to vices. "No alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs," he said during a CNN town hall this month
