A child sex abuse survivor from Palm Beach County who testified at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021 said she had met Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s when she was 14 and was once a contestant in Trump's Miss Teen USA beauty pageant.

She was trafficked through Trump's pageant.

When Trump says his falling out with Epstein was over Jeff hiring Trump's workers, this is what he really means. Poaching his victims, more like.

Yes lots of child rape, by Trump and Epstein, the child rapists.

ETA: they both had already sexually assaulted her multiple times before Trump raped her.

Just highlighting what aspect they fought over.

Just FYI, the “Katie Johnson” and linked stories are a long-debunked hoax.

Trump is a lifelong criminal who should be in prison for many things. But this particular story is a known hoax.

The fact it spreads here undermines the sub and may even be getting amplified as a way for conservatives to portray users here as being identical to pizzagate and birther hoax spreaders.

Oh he has only grabbed adult women by their genitals without consent.

Cool cool.

He’s done a lot more than that. It’s just that the old “Katie Johnson” hoax is being deliberately spread here in recent weeks by a set of dubious accounts.

Don’t get drawn into it.
