Last edited Tue Jul 10, 2018, 08:26 AM - Edit history (1)
A few days before President Trump heads to the U.K. to meet the queen and the prime minister, a BBC investigative program has revealed fresh allegations of sexually inappropriate actions by Trump during the 1980s and 1990s, comparing him to a predator at parties with girls as young as 14.
The report featured Monday on the BBC Panorama investigative documentary series, entitled Trump: Is the president a sex pest? included testimony from two women who said they encountered Trump at parties during his time as a real estate magnate and operator of beauty pageants.

Trumps behavior toward younger women was described by a man who attended the same parties as like that of a predator.
One of the women, Barbara Pilling, said she met Trump at a party in New York in the late 1980s while she was a young model. She alleged that then-businessman Trump asked her how old she was and approved when she said she was 17, allegedly responding: Oh, great. So you're not too old and not too young. That's just great.
Pilling said she was not the youngest girl at the party, claiming there were girls as young as 14 attending. I felt I was in the presence of a shark, Pilling said, describing Trump.
Another woman, Heather Braden, told Panorama that she saw Trump at a party in Miami in the 1990s attended by only four men and 50 female models.
I felt like a piece of meat in a market, Braden said. I could have been auctioned off in some sort of a sex slave ring.
One anonymous male source speaking to the show claimed to have been at many of the same events as Trump during the same time frame and described drug- and alcohol-fueled parties attended by older men and younger women.
These were guys who could easily be (the models'] fathers two times over. (It was] kind of like a feeding frenzy, he said.
Trump, in particular, was notorious for his behavior toward younger women, the man said.
This guy was like a predator in action. The next day or days after we would hear about it, he would brag about it to his friends and it would get around that he scored. Maybe one or two girls at a time, which is what he loved to do.

(15,286 posts)The Brits have such great, pithy terms for things!
But perhaps this will cause some US reporters to start digging into the Epstein connection again. If there's one thing that will thoroughly disgust the vast majority of Americans, it's confirmation Trump sought out young teenagers for sex.

Never underestimate the ability of people to justify abhorrent behavior.

(14,971 posts)used to hire out underage Eastern European Trump Model agency models to parties of older businessmen.
I also wrote a book about the modeling industry and heard stories about Trump but didnt write them because he wasnt important in it, just another rich guy buying a date farm, perhaps for his friends, perhaps for himself. This wasnt pejorative, just how things were. (Leonardo DiCaprio, at the height of his Pussy Posse fame, thanked Trump for offering one-stop date-shopping.)
Now, those stories seem to matter more, and so I spoke in recent days with two Trump pals, both reluctant to talk about the man they once partied hard with whos now the Republican nominee to be president of the United States. In that capacity, Trump has vowed to sue people who have come forward in recent weeks with allegations about his bad behavior.

Trump would go from room to room, said the photographer, who added that I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor but no smoking. Trump didnt approve of cigarettes.

(18,124 posts)does it matter at this time? We must vote in overwhelming numbers to counter gerrymandering, vote tampering, putin, voter suppression, RW vote manipulation. The number from 2016, not a point I will contend. Don't care really, 2018-20 all that matters to me.

(8,200 posts)If the Republicans prevail, it will be a defacto endorsement that party loyalty justifies acceptance of gross immorality and that America's motto should be "I really don't care. Do you?" We will have to conclude that 30% of the citizens have been so brainwashed that any Republican, regardless of their absolute lack of any morals is preferable to any Democrat. The real threat to our Republic is not from without, but internally.
The Republicans have demonstrated that even the most basic morality is subject to compromise. I don't subscribe to the notion that the present polarization can be ascribed to basic differences in legislation, but solely attributable to the Republicans adoption of pure unadulterated hatred of any party that opposes their domination of government. It is a crisis total of the Republcians' doing. If a elected Republican doesn't condemn every proposal by the opposition, they will face a massive challenge and assured defeat to be reelected. The Republicans are solely responsible for a crisis that could threaten the very existence of the nation as an enlighten haven for basic freedoms that the founders sacrificed the lives for.
Have no doubt that they are determined to establish a authoritarian government with unlimited powers in conjunction with cabal of ultra-wealthy oligarchs identical to those in Russia and China. There is a wave of resurgence of authoritarianism under the guise of nationalism sweeping the Western world that is not limited to the United States, but virtually everyone of the democratic states of Europe. The basic cause is the inability of governments to address a historic concentration of wealth that is driven by automation and the emergence of artificial intelligence. The challenge is how to include the masses of working class citizens in these advances who are and will continue to be replaced by automation. Perhaps it will be by decentralization of capital ownership to increased worker ownership. What ever the answer is the situation is not being addressed and can only worsen by neglect. The situation is analogous to what transpired during the Industrial Revolution with massive concentration of wealth. The solution was the establishment of unions and their demand for a more equitable share of the pie.

(5,734 posts)I think this is why he uses (one reason, anyway) his personal cell phone, so that he can be in communication with Putin and others without the "documentation" that requires people to even piece together pieces of trash from his waste basket, for the presidential record.
I think Malcom Nance should be required reading.

(11,885 posts)Trump was like his pimp grandfather , and used his modeling agency to pimp out the girls for influence , and to blackmail others with. It would now be interesting if some of those people involved would come out about how he used and abused them for his own gains. It's only a matter of time some will come out and expose him more.

(37,428 posts)Not that he's not a pig, and not that he hasn't been sufficiently charming to buy a date or even to get laid on occasion, and certainly not that he hasn't assaulted or raped...but that his insecurity drives all his boasts, and that whatever he's claiming is probably fake.
Of course he would have to buy himself a pageant or a modeling agency. Of course he would tell people about all the women lining up to get with him. Of course it's bullshit. He had to creep, peep and lie his way into even meeting women, and has to buy his brides.
kag
(4,079 posts)Meaning "sufficiently rich"
Trump doesn't know the first thing about "charm". You think he would actually compliment a woman if not to get laid or for some other purpose that he considers "useful" to himself?
His version of charm involves telling someone how much money he has, and, if absolutely necessary, offering to part with some of it--as little as possible.
Orsino

(1,074 posts)This investigative report should include audio of Trump's conversations with Howard Stern where he tells him that he goes into the girls' dressing rooms at pageants. In fact, all such conversations he had with Stern should have been played over and over again in Democratic political advertisements during the 2016 election!
