Left on the cutting-room floor: the part of that Dr. Mehmet Oz interview with Donald Trump where the GOP candidate talked about kissing his daughter, Ivanka.
Yesterday, people who saw the taping of the interview for “The Dr. Oz Show” described a moment where Ivanka Trump got a buss on the cheek from her dad. Nice, right? And the good doctor commented on it, reportedly remarking on how nice it was to see such a show of affection.
But the real estate mogul quickly turned things from sweet to weird, saying he kisses the 34-year-old former model “as often as I can.”
ON KISSING: Ivanka kissed Dr. Oz & her dad. Oz commented on kiss. Trump said he kisses her "as often as I can," audience tells @FayCortez.

Which is just a little awkward, no?
But that part of the interview didn’t make the final cut of the show that aired Thursday afternoon, in which the 70-year-old discussed his health — and how he feels even younger than his daughter. “I feel as good today as I did when I was 30,” he said.
So, uh, looks like the producers of "The Dr. Oz Show" cut out the awkward comments from Oz and Trump about fathers kissing daughters…
