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.

The topic of the OP is TRUMP WIVES. Irish_Dem Jul 21 #12

No, that's not the topic. Everyone else understood it correctly. Those 3 were just the tip of the iceberg -- pnwmom Jul 21 #14

Those are the 3 he married. He had access to countless others, including teenagers. nt pnwmom Jul 21 #11

The fact that they were mature women gave him cover. There's no way that a allegorical oracle Jul 21 #18

Right. The modeling agency and pageants gave him cover, and so did the 3 wives. pnwmom Jul 21 #22

Epstein was a mental case. No sane woman would've married him. He was obsessed by some allegorical oracle Jul 21 #29

Trump got 3 women to marry him. Wealth can overcome reason. nt pnwmom Jul 21 #30

Gold-diggers? They were children who were exploited by people they thought would pull them out of poverty 33taw Jul 21 #8
