Trump is an adjudicated rapist, nodded along while Howard Stern called him a sex pest on air, bragged about walking into the Miss America changing room where reportedly girls as young as 15 were in, used one of Epstein's jets on the campaign trail, talked about how Epstein "likes them young" while praising him, has dozens of sexual assault allegations levied against him, has made casual mention of sexual assaulting women on camera, the GOP has been trying to loosen child labor laws, his Secretary of Labor gave Epstein his first lenient plea deal, he tried to get Matt Gaetz in his cabinet, Epstein knew the ins and outs of his admin during his first term, it's alleged that he blackmailed his friends into sleeping with their wives, there supposedly exists a picture (one of several) of Trump with the questionably aged girls and a "spot" on his pants with one pointing at him and giggling, and so on. This is what you voted for, this is who you voted for.
You do not get to take the moral high ground and to pretend to care about girls being abused in light of all this (I didn't even get to everything) is absolutely motherfucking laughable.
*Yawn*
And he was found guilty... He said.... Blah blah blah...
If I wanted to listen to 'The Majority Report' then I'd watch it, so don't be a stenographer for an YouTube show nobody watches.
On 1 September 1991, a large private yacht cruised towards the Statue of Liberty. It was a clear, breezy evening, and from the upper deck of the Spirit of New York, a golden sunset could be seen glinting off the Manhattan skyline. Downstairs, a party was in flow. Scores of teenage girls in evening dresses and miniskirts, some as young as 14, danced under disco lights. It could have been a high school prom, were it not for the crowd of older men surrounding them.
As the evening wore on, some of the men – many old enough to be the girls’ fathers, or even grandfathers – joined them on the dancefloor, pressing themselves against the girls. One balding man in a suit wrapped his arms around two young models, leering into a film camera that was documenting the evening: “Can you get some beautiful women around me, please?”
The party aboard the Spirit of New York was one of several events that
Donald Trump, then 45, attended with a group of 58 aspiring young models that September.
Trump was closely involved in Casablancas’s competition. In 1991, he was a headline sponsor, throwing open the Plaza, his lavish, chateau-style hotel overlooking Central Park, transforming it into the main venue and accommodating the young models. He was also one of its 10 judges.
In 1992, Trump hosted the competition again. On a similarly golden evening in early September that year, another group of contestants boarded the Spirit of New York, chartered for another Elite cruise. One of the girls on the boat was Shawna Lee, then a 14-year-old from a small town outside Toronto. She recalls how the contestants were encouraged to parade downstairs, one by one, and dance for Trump, Casablancas and others. Lee, an introverted teenager who loved to draw but hated school, was in New York for the first time. “A woman at the agency was pushing me,” she recalls. “I said to her, ‘I don’t see why me going down the stairs and dancing in front of those two has anything to do with me becoming a model. And she said, ‘No, you look great, take off your blazer and go and do it.’ So I walked down the stairs. I didn’t dance – I blew a kiss at them, spun around and walked away.”
Another contestant, who was 15 at the time, also remembers being asked to walk for Trump, Casablancas and other men on the boat in September 1992. She says an organiser told her that if she refused, she would be excluded from the competition. “I knew in my gut it wasn’t right,” she recalls. “This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment.”
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it
