On the May 30, 2018 episode of ''Full Frontal'', Bee descended to new lows in tastelessness and offensiveness when she made lewd, disgusting and vulgar comments about President [[Donald Trump]]'s daughter Ivanka Trump following the publication of a photo of Ivanka with her infant son Theodore Kushner.

Also as a result of Bee's stupidity in her remarks, she lost two sponsors from her show when advertisers Autotrader and State Farm Insurance pulled their ads from ''Full Frontal'',<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/01/report-samantha-bees-low-rated-tbs-show-cant-afford-lose-another-advertiser/ Report: Samantha Bee's Low-Rated TBS Show Can't Afford to Lose Another Advertiser] at Breitbart.com</ref>, while Trump himself condemned Bee for her comments and suggested that TBS and parent company Time Warner should fire her and cancel her show<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/01/donald-trump-samantha-bee/ Trump Asks Why TBS, Time Warner Aren't Firing Samantha Bee] at Breitbart.com</ref> and First Lady Melania Trump likewise harshly criticized Bee for her words and the media for their irresponsible allowance of such remarks on television and online.<ref name="Bee Controversy">[http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/01/samantha-bee-defends-calling-ivanka-trump-a-ct-at-tv-academy-awards/ Samantha Bee Defends Calling Ivanka Trump a "****" at TV Academy Awards] at Breitbart.com ('''Warning:''' Contains foul language)</ref> In response to the controversy she generated, Bee issued another "apology" via Twitter which was later exposed as hollow and meaningless when she essentially denied responsibility for her comments and dismissively minimized the damage she caused with them while continuing to rant about Trump's attempts to deal with illegal immigration (including falsely accusing him of the separation of illegal immigrant children from their parents - which was actually the responsibility of the parents themselves and occurred during the Obama regime) during an acceptance speech for an award presented to her by the Television Academy on May 31, 2018.<ref name="Bee Controversy"/><ref>[https://www.mrctv.org/blog/samantha-bee-says-outrage-over-her-bad-word-was-just-distraction-trump Samantha Bee Says Outrage Over Her "Bad Word" Was Just a Distraction From Trump] at Media Research Council</ref>
