Ivana was a model from Czechoslovakia. Marla was a model from the US. Melania was a model from Slovenia.

Trump owned international modeling agencies and beauty contests, and many of the "women" were "on the younger side."

So he didn't need to use Epstein's international human trafficking skills; Trump had his own. He had all the young models he could want, and he even married a few of them.


From WallaWallaDemocrats:

Was Donald Trump Involved in the Procurement of Underage Girls?
Trump Model Management (1999–2017)

Trump launched his own modeling agency, Trump Model Management, in 1999. The agency targeted young, often foreign teenage girls and placed them in Trump-owned apartments while docking their pay with excessive fees.

Jamaican model Alexia Palmer alleged she was paid $4,000 over two years while the agency earned over $200,000 from her work.

Reports and insider testimony show the agency frequently misused tourist visas, allowing underage girls to work illegally.

This placed Trump in a position of financial and physical control over vulnerable teenagers brought to the U.S. under promises of fame.

1. I have long suspected Trump was one of Epstein's recruiters

yes indeed

[calimary]

26. Yep. And the donald has undoubtedly made sure that he gets his "cut".

[Torchlight]

2. I tend to think he wanted Epstein for some of younger-than-allowed dates

Mr. trump could get young women. Epstein however, could get him younger girls.

[pnwmom]

4. The modeling agency & beauty pageants involved girls as young as 14. I don't consider that to be a "young woman." nt

[Torchlight]

6. I stand relieved in my ignorance of modeling and pagents.

I don't consider 14 year olds to be young women as well. I'll avoid the convo to prevent any additional missteps on my part.

[pnwmom]

15. Different orgs have different rules. But I've read that both his modeling agency

and his beauty pageants involved girls as young as 14.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Gold diggers who FA and FO.

[pnwmom]

5. And desperate young teens seeking a way out of poverty. nt

[Irish_Dem]

7. Ages when they married Trump: Ivana 28 yrs old, Marla 30 yrs old, Melania 35 yrs old.

These were far from scared teenagers.

They knew exactly what they were doing.
And who and what Trump was.

[33taw]

9. They may have been older. But many victims were children.

[Irish_Dem]

12. The topic of the OP is TRUMP WIVES.

Trump wives were not children when they met and married Trump.
It is absurd to say so.

[pnwmom]

14. No, that's not the topic. Everyone else understood it correctly. Those 3 were just the tip of the iceberg --

the ones he actually married. He had access to countless others, including teens, who he didn't bother to marry.

[pnwmom]

11. Those are the 3 he married. He had access to countless others, including teenagers. nt

[allegorical oracle]

18. The fact that they were mature women gave him cover. There's no way that a

sensible, mature woman would NOT be aware that she's married to a sexual pervert. Through him they were wealthy and comfortable. In Melania's case, her parents became U.S. citizens. The marriages were a symbiotic relationship.

[pnwmom]

22. Right. The modeling agency and pageants gave him cover, and so did the 3 wives.

Epstein might have stayed under the radar longer if he'd had the cover provided by marriage.

[allegorical oracle]

29. Epstein was a mental case. No sane woman would've married him. He was obsessed by some

sexual obsession that involved children. He was a sick bastard.

[pnwmom]

30. Trump got 3 women to marry him. Wealth can overcome reason. nt

[33taw]

8. Gold-diggers? They were children who were exploited by people they thought would pull them out of poverty

and potentially worse. This term does not seem right in this context. Please don’t blame the victims is this crime.

[Irish_Dem]

10. This post is talking about TRUMP's WIVES.

They were all much older than young teens.

Ages when they married Trump:

Ivana 28 yrs old, Marla 30 yrs old, Melania 35 yrs old.

Calling them naive young teenagers is a lie and absurd.

[pnwmom]

13. No, I began with them because that's all most of the public knows. However,

no one's thinking about the access he had to countless teenagers and young women -- the models "on the younger side" -- through his modeling agencies and beauty pageants.

[1WorldHope]

23. Children who find out that you can't trust adults.

Not gold diggers, CHILDREN.

16. Way to go Walla Walla Dems!!

That's a great post .

And a great website. Local sites aren't always well run or maintained but this looks great. I especially like the sweet onion in the logo!

[pnwmom]

17. I was impressed with it, too. Who are these people? They're doing a great job. nt

[progressoid]

20. IKR!

I have been on that side of it and it's a grueling job for volunteers.

The WW site looks like they either have great people there, or perhaps a generous donor or two to pay for web/social media outreach.

[AntiFascist]

19. Ivana is on Epstein's contact list that was released...

along with Ivanka, Robert Trump (now deceased), Robert's wife Blaine, and Trump Management Inc. (in the unredacted version).

21. 2 of 3 Soviet/Russian Assets from Eastern Bloc

Former Soviet Bloc have said so. Trained to infiltrate with men sexually in the West

Red Sparrows.

[MadameButterfly]

32. Do you have sources for this?

[PufPuf23]

34. Melania makes me retch. Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia was communist but Yugoslavia was an unaligned nation and specifically not part of the Soviet Bloc.

[Buddyzbuddy]

24. What grown man would own a pageant for

teen girls if not for the access. Really, is that where the big bucks are? (no pun intended)
He likes to own and compromise people. Bending people to his will excites him. Anybody that has criticized him must endure his wrath until they bend the knee and swear fealty to him. Just ask Rubio, Grahm, ABC,CBS, Columbia, numerous law firms, etc., etc., etc.

Teenage girls, so vulnerable, the ultimate aphrodisiac for his sick forever adolescent mind.

[rickyhall]

25. So Trump is a PIMP, too? WOW...

[spike jones]

27. Several years ago, when the Clinton Lewinsky affair was news, the press often referred to her as a woman/child.

Then a few years later when the US Marine raped and killed the fifteen-year-old Afghanistan girl she was often referred as a young woman.
BTW before Lewinsky when to work in Washington DC, she told her friends that she was going to earn her presidential kneepads.

28. A rapist & pedo in our house

31. Trump puts the sleaze in sleazy
