He may of been an active partner with sex trafficking????
Observing his general behavior and personality, misogynist to women, controlling,....verbally abuse...
Then the Beauty Pageants and casino's.... he may of been a contributor to the Epstein Empire...Now that is a real reason to be scared and ruthless in this cover-up.
Just a thought......

(14,128 posts)he always wants the big payout stuff....trafficing would provide monies he craves...I can't just see him being a "John" with all the profits flying about this high dollar payout...plus, he is kinky/ perverted with young girls for sure....this makes sense to me.Maxwell has supporting evidence I believe and it is dispersed with a back up plan if she is say...injured.

(177 posts)Why didnt we know about this? Looks like it was up from 1999-2015. They claim to be international high end escorts for dates why show pics in bikinis and skimpy lingerie. A little digging here would find more, Im sure!
Whatever your needs, we have a gorgeous and suitable young escort lady to suit your desires, and make your experience unforgettable. Obviously every man seeks different things in his companions, so it's important for us to find out from you what you like, what experience you expect to have, and in what location you will be spending time with her. We're dedicated to providing high quality, for you the gentleman, And for the models.
The three star hotel escorts and home visitation ladies are usually placed at this level because she is lacking in one simple quality. Perhaps her education level is not as high as some of the other models. Perhaps she is attractive, but not as beautiful as some others. Perhaps she is extremely attentive and talented, but her English is not perfect yet, or she has limited travel abilities due to her location. These models are always of high quality, just working on reaching our very high standards for four and five star gallery levels.

You can actually browse the site. The escorts are rated from three stars to VIP six stars. The copyright is 1999-2015.
I did a quick research on it and apparently he got a copyright to the name Trump Escorts in 2017 for China
Anyway, more research should be done on this.
Fiendish Thingy
(20,205 posts)The copyright dates are just made up.
So, rather than being a pile of evidence out in broad daylight that anybody can access, but has somehow been secret for 10 years, it would make this whole thread nothing but misinformation.

(38,587 posts)The day after Donald Trump announced his candidacy last June, an unexpected press release bearing his name was sent out to the media.
It was from an escort agency, boasting about a redesigned website which would now provide ratings for its "fresh, captivating, educated women of beauty and charm" -- ratings anywhere from four to six stars. With offices in the United States, Australia and Europe, this was a global organization, as its name made clear. The press release was from Trump International Escorts, an enterprise that promised "an experience to trump all others."
At the time Trump launched his campaign, the website TrumpEscorts.com described a four-person staff spread across three continents. There was Claire, manager of the Europe office, Andi, in charge of the U.S. and Canada, and Meg, who dealt with Australia. The owner of the company was not named Donald, but instead "Charlie." "The three office managers are jokingly referred to as 'Charlie's Angels'.

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.
If you go to the site now (which you should not do at work), you'll notice that the domain and company names have been changed. It's now "Mystique Companions," though the three employees are still Claire, Meg and Andi -- Charlie's angels. The switch from Trump Escorts appears to have happened in late October or early November, and Garten confirmed that it was because the Trump Organization demanded it.
"Last year, someone brought this to our attention," Garten wrote. "In response, we sent a letter demanding they cease and desist from using his name and they did. As a company we zealously protect Mr. Trump's valuable name, brand and trademarks. Unfortunately, as the brand has grown in popularity around the world, there are more and more people who have tried to trade off his name."

(67,343 posts)I've often said that I think that Trump is involved in human trafficking.
His border policies - especially when he separated families during his first term - seem designed to kidnap children and young people. It's even more obvious this term.
There is a market for sex slaves, domestic slaves (who are also sexually abused), and babies for adoption.
We want to believe that nobody would do such a thing but that's not true. History shows that's not true. Many people, given the opportunity, will buy slaves.

(695 posts)Trump mostly makes money slapping his name on stuff. Also why wouldn't Epstein have thrown Trump under the bus when he was arrested?

(15,324 posts)They were close friends at the time, then after a falling out over a Palm Beach real estate deal, a vindictive and angry Trump dropped a dime on Epstein. How did Trump know so much about Epstein's illegal activities?
Edited to add from DU posting, link below:
Johnathan Alter posted this interview a few days ago.
JONATHAN ALTER:
Why did the friendship end?
MICHAEL WOLFF:
It ended over real estate. In 2004, Epstein believed he was the high bidder on a Palm Beach house at $36 million and took Trump to see it and to give him advice on moving the swimming pool. Trump then promptly went around his back and outbid him at $40 million, though he likely didnt have $40 million; Epstein believed Trump was fronting for someone and threatened to sue him. Epstein believed Trump then informed the police in Palm Beach that he had a never-ending stream of underage girls in and out of his house there, and thus began his long years of legal peril.

I think Trump was an eager consumer of Epsteins services, no evidence otherwise so far.

(34,116 posts)The real dirt in the Steele Dossier and other Russian kompromat was never about the "Pee" tape. It was about him participating in sex trafficking of girls, and money laundering. That is why he has been so desperate to keep it covered up. And, the Guardians of Pedophiles in Congress wouldn't continue to protect him if at least some of them weren't implicated, too. The same goes for a bunch of their billionaire donors. The Russians did hack the GOP's servers, too, after all.
