Who knows, but there is probably some amusement value in keeping an eye on it.

But that domain is the first sign that Trump Escorts isn't connected to Trump. It was first registered nearly a decade ago, in October 2007, to a company called Bestcom International, based in Sydney, Australia. It was renewed a number of times to that same location until 2014, when the registration information was hidden with a domain proxy service.
At SiteJabber, which allows users to review online businesses, there are a few (not entirely serious) comments about the company's services -- and some contact information. It lists the same phone number as the one on TrumpEscorts.com, which forwards to an overseas mailbox from which we never received a reply. It also identifies the address of the company in New York: 180 Riverside Drive. And that, as it turns out, is a strong indication that the site has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
There are a string of buildings along the West Side Highway in Manhattan facing the Hudson River, each bearing the name "Trump Place." The buildings run from 140 to 220 Riverside Boulevard, one after the next, with 180 Riverside Boulevard about in the middle.
But Riverside Drive and Riverside Boulevard are not the same address. They're different streets about a mile away from one another. Only one -- the one not identified as the home of Trump Escorts -- bears the name Trump, but it's not a Trump building. It's an apartment building that was actually built by Trump but later sold. It's just a building that has the name "Trump" attached -- the sort of thing that a random person in, say, Australia, might have seized upon in an attempt to make TrumpEscorts.com look more like a Trump property.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
