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.

Yes, literally. When he talks about walking into changing rooms and just start kissing, the changing rooms he was talking about were for Miss Teen USA.

That's three different things.
Just to be clear (because it's hard to keep all the grossness straight):

  • The "just start kissing" quote was from the Access Hollywood grab-em-by-the-pussy tape. He was at least nominally talking about "women." Which is still not ok.

  • When he giggity-bragged about walking into changing rooms and "inspecting" the women on Howard Stern they were talking about Miss USA and Miss Universe, which are (young) adult pageants. Multiple contestants (and weirdly, Ivanka) have confirmed this. Also not ok.

  • And several former Miss Teen USA contestants— some as young as 14 at the time— have also said he would routinely walk in on them changing. Def not ok.

 
Ugh. This cretin.

Upvoting because when we mix stories to make what he said look even worse, it just adds to the propaganda that it's a witch hunt. Let the shit he did speak for itself.
