I thought this was already known? Except wasn't she a minor when she first met Epstein? If so, calling her an escort is pretty gross.

I mean it gets the point across. She was trafficked by Epstein and pimped out and/or purchased by Trump, probably while she was still a minor.
Tho, don't waste any sympathy on her, she's an evil, rotten sack of shit and fully embraces her role as the modern Ava Braun.
She was a victim of child sex trafficking. Now she's a major perpetrator of the big cover-up and funneling all societal power possible to other child rapists and the Israeli government who perpetrates rape on a mass scale themselves.
Oh for sure, I don't feel any sympathy for her. I just hate to see articles calling children "escorts" in general.
In this case it’s a citation of Amanda Ungaro’s words, not a choice of the author.
I mean, broadly I agree, but in a different situation with a woman not named trump we would probably be a bit more sympathetic and say stuff like "she may have been a victim but that doesn't excuse her actions"
No, I think any woman who's a victim of rape and/or trafficking who then turns around and gleefully supports rapists and traffickers lose any right to sympathy.
Names be damned.
This is very common among those trafficked, they end up trafficking others for their pimps.
She trafficked in children under "modeling contracts" from Slovenia. She knows exactly what she did.
Idk when you call her a purchased person, essentially a slave, you describe a person that would have very limited agency
I'd argue you can't have both here
Melania was right, she wasn't an Epstein victim. She was fully in on it ready to sell her body to the highest bidder in order to stay in the US and bring her parents to the country. Epstein enabled that for her whether she performed for him and his buddies as well, who knows. If she wasn't coerced, who cares. Or maybe she was but still felt the payoff was worth the price. She has a prenup and seems not to have slept with Trump since getting pregnant with Barron so maybe it was all worth it for her. I am assuming she was of age when she got to the US. If she was under 18, she is a victim, although maybe a willing one? Women do things that knowingly make them a victim if they cannot find any other way to achieve what they want. Doesn't make it right, but I can understand why some would do it.
Chain migration, is in the Epstein files. It's almost like it's all projection? No, clearly these are all coincidence
It is literally impossible for a Child to consent in such a Situation so she cannot habe Been willing . doesnt excuse her behavior since but still worth pointing out
I met my husband by chance in 1998. The proof is in my book...
Haha fucking okay, lady.
The proof is in my book…
"Make Fuck...Get Greencard: the Melania Trump Biography"
Nothing unexpected. Who do you think Trump bought her from?
“Let’s tell the public you never were the one introducing Melania to Trump. It was Jeffrey Epstein, as she was [an] escort of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s how she met Donald Trump,” Ungaro said in the recording, posted around 11 p.m. Sunday.
You can be a victim and the abuser. Not mutually exclusive.
To quote Data from TNG. "Your past does not excuse unethical or immoral behavior."
Are we really surprised, at this point?
Isn’t there a picture of her and Brett Ratner in the Epstein files that were released?
see Bob Woodward’s next blockbuster book, “All the President’s Hoors”
Poor Barron. Guess he'll have to cry into all of his ill begotten gains.
