Donald Trump had a team of recruiters roaming Trump Tower searching for women for him to have sex with, according to an explosive FBI interview buried in the Epstein files.

In a 2021 interview, a woman told agents she was approached in the 1990s as she sat in the public atrium at the base of the Fifth Avenue skyscraper in New York City.

Two men asked her if she wanted to meet Trump, the report stated, adding, “The man winked and said [Trump] could do whatever she liked.

“The man told her that if she did not want to meet Trump right then, she could go to a party. The man told her that she could bring a friend if the friend looked like her, but she could not bring a guy.

“The invitation was in or around 1990/1991 and the invitation had Jeffrey Epstein’s address on it.”

I feel like the headline goes too soft here. It wasn't random sex recruiting going on. It was specifically for Trump. That should be in the headline.

You're right, fixed it. The headlines are always doing that kind of shit these days. They obscure the real story or make up shit.

Stupid ass local ABC and NBC stations don't even mention a blip about this. What's the fucking point of being a news station if you don't even put out the news. Fucking posers.

Being owned by fascist billionaires and your survival being dependent on a paycheck unfortunately does that to people. Especially with decades and decades of propaganda focusing on individualism and dismantling education.

We wouldn't be here right now and/or there would've been a general strike already if there were any real worker protections and social safety nets.

Huh, I wonder why GOP senators and henchmen will not abandon Trump? Oh wait, he ran a massive blackmail operation for decades with his buddy Jeff.

Okay. So how do you think so many young women and underage girls get around these powerful pedos? It's through beauty pageants and modeling agencies. This is why Maxwell and the first lady needs to stay/be in prison forever. Powerful/wealthy women were the key to placating parents concerns about sending their daughters on "trips". These women used our misguided approach to sexual violence in the west, by telling parents they would chaperone the trips to make sure their daughters were safe. (women predators get free passes for some reason.) Only to turn around and offer them up like a well done steak covered in ketchup for Trump and epstin.

In a dark twist, she told FBI agents that she knew a woman who said that her daughter had been waiting to meet her at Trump Tower, and had been persuaded to go upstairs with the recruiters.

“This was in the early 1990s. [The student] recalled sometime later seeing [redacted] at a cocktail party and the woman said something horrible happened to her daughter that day. The daughter had dropped out of school, got into drugs and committed suicide.”

He reminds me of a guy that was accused of hitting a minor that wouldn't blow him. We should, I don't know, investigate this shit internationally.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

There are some people I would happily feed through an industrial shredder. Those who hurt the daughter being amongst them.

You didn't answer my question. I don't see you doing anything more than me. You just spouted off some self-righteous joke. Someone other than me CAN do something. They are the ones not doing anything. I have no power to do anything. Take you frustrations out on them.

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 0 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

It's always someone else, is my point.

and so, once again, so it is. It doesn't matter whether it's you or me. The powers at play know we're cowards as well as both of us do, that all the Luigiposting and fantasizing about blowing up yachts might as well be children's fantasy.

It's good to know where we all stand, on the open eye of a stove. Maybe someone else will fix all of it for the both of us.

Every day. Every day I read something that makes trump look more pathetic. I keep thinking "welp, can't top that" and then I see something new and it does. What a pathetic piece of shit

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s been going on for a decade.

Several decades actually. It's just been national news for a decade.

It's not surprising, except for the fact that it's not international news.

Does that make you a cuck?

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

like clockwork, he will do or say something to bury this story

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not the bombshell I thought it would be. We all knew was a perv

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it was more that it was on Epstein letterhead.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Easy enough for MAGA to blame it on Epstein and say Trump was innocent.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
