Amid Epstein Fallout, Video of Trump Judging Teen Girls in Modeling Competition Resurfaces
truthout.org
Polls show most Americans — and a high portion of MAGA voters — are dissatisfied with transparency in the Epstein case.

Amid ongoing scrutiny of President Donald Trump and his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case, newly unearthed video shows Trump taking part as a judge in a beauty pageant that featured models as young as 14 years old.

The video in question shows Trump as one of 10 judges in Elite Model Agency’s 1991 “Look of the Year” competition. Within the video, young women and girls walk in front of Trump and others in order to be judged on both their looks and “personality,” according to the narrator.

    And I’m saying the trauma for the victim is the same whether it’s inflicted by an 18y old or a 60y old.

      Not really. Theres a power dynamic.

      Your coworker telling you that you are bad at your job VS the CEO telling you that you’re bad at your job.

      A person your age and build grabs your ass. Vs someone bigger, stronger than you grabs your ass.

      Age is also a power move.

        I rephrase

        The level of trauma is roughly equivalent no matter the age of the perpetrator. Each age bracket may provide different types of trauma, but I’m pretty sure if you ask victims if they would have preferred a different age of their abuser they would just want them dead all the same.
