Adam, you write, “But Giuffre worked at Mar-a-Lago briefly during the summer of 2000, four years before his falling out with Epstein.”
I think we need to consider the possibility that Trump was trafficking so many women it might have taken him four years to miss one he’d probably never seen before, because there were so many young women he couldn’t keep track of them all. Besides, since when did Trump ever pay attention to anyone he considers ‘beneath’ him, as he would have with all these young women that worked for slave wages at what increasingly might be characterized as a ‘hot sheet motel’?
Yet another way Trump’s claims about Guiffre “don’t add up” and putting a fine point on it is @Joyce Strong’s analysis of Trump’s language when talking about Epstein and their falling out. Strong points out that Trump doesn’t complain about Epstein sexual abuse of young women. Trump doesn’t call Epstein a pervert or sex criminal. Trump complains that Epstein “stole” from him.
Trump’s complaint is that one of his possessions - the women who worked for Trump — that Trump viewed himself as owner of these young women employees — were “stolen” by Epstein.
That’s a very big tell, that Trump believes he owns other human beings, especially young women that work for him.
That is the power of white patriarchy, and the concept that women are owned by men or their closest nearest male relative that predates the Civil War and went alongside the enslavement of Black people. It’s a concept that women who’ve been raped understand all too well because it is this concept of a male’s “right” to rape in a woman because he owns that woman that allows these criminal activities to continue nonstop and be excused.
It seems so clear Trump knew Epstein was a pedophile and yet he did nothing to report it or try to stop it. Doesn't knowledge of a crime taking place require reporting it? Isn't keeping it secret a sign of complicity?
I heard Guiffre has a couple children. They must be on the younger side. I wonder if they are seeing all that’s happening. I am determined we do right by Virginia. We all failed her.
Hey Republicans, he lies over and over again! Haven’t you had enough BS from this liar?
