Unveiling Trump's Disturbing Past at the 1991 Look of the Year Pageant

By Ben Meiselas

Ben Meiselas here. You all know that at MeidasTouch, we’re committed to shining a light on the dark corners of Donald Trump’s past, because you deserve to know the truth about who he really is, and what he is trying to hide.

Today, I’m sharing an exclusive report about a deeply troubling chapter from 1991, when Trump hosted the “Look of the Year” beauty pageant alongside John Casablancas, a man whose Elite Model Management has been exposed as a front for preying on underage girls. This is a stark reminder of the character of a man who continues to seek power, and it’s up to us to hold him accountable.

Let’s set the scene: September 1991, aboard a private yacht cruising toward the Statue of Liberty. A golden sunset lights up the Manhattan skyline, but below deck, a far uglier scene unfolds. Scores of teenage girls, some as young as 14, parade in evening dresses and miniskirts, surrounded by older men, many old enough to be their fathers or grandfathers. These men, including a 45-year-old Donald Trump, leer and dance with these girls, exploiting their youth and vulnerability.

I’ve uncovered footage from this event and it’s chilling. You see Trump judging these young girls, many in bathing suits, as they walk before him, his gaze as predatory as the environment Casablancas cultivated. The Guardian’s 2020 investigation backs this up, detailing a culture of sexual harassment, exploitation, and even rape at these events, where alcohol flowed freely to minors.
