Did Trump Pay $35M to Settle Child Rape Claims Against Him?
Since January 2019, claims have circulated online that U.S. President Donald Trump has had to deal with multiple accusations that he raped children aged 13 and younger, paying out at least $35 million to settle most of those claims and ensure the silence of his victims:

This meme contains one nugget of truth: A woman using the pseudonym "Katie Johnson" has twice filed a civil lawsuit accusing Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein of having sexually abused her at parties held at the Manhattan homes of Epstein and Trump in 1994, when she was just 13 years old. However, her first complaint was dismissed by the court and the second was voluntarily withdrawn by Johnson, so the case is not "pending," and no evidence has ever been offered in court to support Johnson's allegations.
Aside from that, everything else included in the meme appears to be nothing but sensationalistic fabrications.
Information about the six entries listed after Johnson in this meme -- children ranging from ages 10 to 13 who were supposedly raped by Trump but paid off by Trump's "fixer" to remain silent -- all stem from a single source: a Jan. 14-15, 2019, post from the Wayne Madsen Report (WMR), a blog published by a notorious conspiracy monger who has been described as an "Utterly deranged nutter with a mind unclouded by facts, evidence, or reason, who at least lets his bigotry shine through rather clearly in his ravings about world politics"

Well we already know that Trump likes a large penis. Look at how he salivated over Arnold Palmer.

If that's even remotely true, it would explain why Trump is so hellbent on keeping the files under wraps. If something

That would be several years before Trump and Epstein were reported to have first met.
