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.
