> There's a possibly apocryphal but widely believed quote from Trump, "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her"

Not even slightly apocryphal. You can see the clip on YouTube, e.g. [1] But she was 25 at the time, not 13.

« When Trump was the star of the reality TV show “The Apprentice,” he appeared on the ABC talk show “The View” with his daughter in 2006 and said, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her. Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?” »

> And because that Ivanka quote isn't well-evidenced

I would dispute that.

The claim that is disputable is specifically that he said it when she was 13, not that he also said it when she was 25.

Half-truths have always been a fantastic method for propaganda.

I've never heard that subclaim before despite the quote coming up many times so maybe it's not as widespread as you think.

And you specifically said the quote was "believed".

I've heard a different quote that was allegedly made when she was 13 (I guess taking an proven quote and transposing the age to another unproven quote is an easy step, possibly even accidentally) but Snopes currently rates that as "unproven".

(Given the things he's actually on record as saying, it wouldn't surprise me though.)
