It’s now one year since Donald Trump was elected president—and what a whirlwind year it’s been. As the President has issued a controversial travel ban, cracked down on protections for young undocumented immigrants, attempted to undermine the Affordable Care Act, and routinely lashed out on Twitter, millions of Americans are counting down the days till his term is up. But if you ask Full Frontal host Samantha Bee, Trump might have ushered in a new political dynasty—one that First Daughter Ivanka Trump could one day lead.

During a Q+A with fellow actress/comedian Ana Gasteyer at this year’s New York Comedy Festival, Bee was asked whether she thinks there will be a female president in her lifetime. The good news: Yes, she does think there will be a woman in charge of the White House. The bad news: she thinks that woman will be Ivanka Trump.

“I feel so sad that you asked me that question because I’m gonna give you my honest answer…It’s gonna ruin everyone’s night,” Bee said during Tuesday’s event. “I honestly—I’m so sorry…I think maybe our first female president might be Ivanka Trump.”

Bee then turned to Gasteyer for confirmation as the audience audibly gasped. “Right?” she asked.

Gasteyer, however, wouldn’t back Bee up—but she did think that Trump has opened

“No, I can’t ‘right’ you on that,” she said. “I do think we may go into an era of dumb shits that are popular.”

Gasteyer continued, “I think this all about charisma and popularity. He’s the most hateful, tremendously terrible leader but something about Americans needs to have someone that they recognize from television.”

Further building her case, Gasteyer predicted we might see a Real Housewife run for office—or even a President Honey Boo Boo one day.

Who knows? In this post-Trump political world, sadly, anything is possible.
