It is obvious that you have not done your homework because there is an extensive article posted here by LaRaven. The article was published in The Guardian. The article is long and it took me at least 30" to read it all, and I'm a fast reader. It is entitled, "Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year"
This article is more than 5 years old
Subhead: In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

By Lucy Osborne, Harry Davies and Stephanie Kirchgaessner. A special investigation

It is FULL of examples of trump's behavior regarding underage girls. Oh, and not only text, there are pictures. It became obvious to me at the conclusion of this article that this scandal is about trump, epstein, and underage girls.

You are notably absent from that thread.

Here are four snippets from the article, all I can legally post:

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 of the girls on the boat was Shawna Lee, then a 14-year-old from a small town outside Toronto.
At 16, Wilkes was one of the older contestants in Look of the Year. The 1992 Fox documentary reported that the average age was 15, and the film’s interviews make the youth of many contestants plain.

Later, during a photoshoot, a photographer instructs a 15-year-old to show more of her cleavage by pulling her bra lower. “More,” he tells her. “More. More.”


Now it has come out that trump and epstein had a ten-year friendship and there is a letter in which trump writes to epstein that they should have many more years of secrets. Oh really? Secrets. What kind of secrets do you think those might be?

There would be no need to refer to secrets if these young women were of age. No need to call it a secret whatsoever.

It is all the more interesting that epstein observes that trump doesn't have friends. So why would there be this 10-year association of epstein and trump? It wasn't really friendship. It may have looked like it on the surface, but what it really was was an association to put old guys and young girls together. The pageant thing and associations with Elite Modeling was the perfect veneer for "legitimacy." Without the pageant/modeling facade, it was be a highly questionable situation and there would have been way more questions than there were.

If you read the article, you'll try to claim there is no evidence of trump and a young girl (you would be wrong--how about his own daughter on his lap at one of these affairs). Has it occurred to you that the truth is worse? The truth is that epstein and trump were conspirators in putting together events under the cover of the idea they were pageants or modeling opportunities when they were really sick arrangements to give old guys access to young girls.

Really, your point, even if it was correct, is irrelevant. As I said, the truth is far worse.

I suggest you go do your homework before you come here and stand up for donald trump, claiming you're defending the truth and that there is no connection between trump and underage girls. It's bad enough that he took his nine-year old daugher and had her seated on his lap. That he was part of a modus operandi that put together these occasions so that other sickos could take advantage of young girls makes his actions reprehensible.
