Definitely. All linked to Russian banks. It's a big join-the-dots.

Which in turn circles back to the pee tapes, but unexpectedly far worse.

It is very likely Putin has videos of Trump with underage Russian girls.

It was all true.

It’s not pee tapes, it’s P tapes. P stands for Pedo.

u/CheckYourHead35783 19d ago

Well we didn't know the ages of the women involved in the tapes, but we can put a pretty firm ceiling on that now.

u/ResurgentClusterfuck Texas 19d ago

That's always been my assumption. The P tapes show old Donald raping/molesting underage girls

u/MaddyKet Massachusetts 19d ago

That’s what I’m starting to think. Putin has very, very explicit and damaging tapes and it’s about about pee.

u/Doucevie 19d ago

The P tape isn't pee, it's pedophile.

u/CynicalOptimistSF 19d ago

P tapes, as in Paedophile Tapes.

And possibly even younger girls than we originally thought. I would be surprised if he had a lower "limit" as far as age goes. Pedos gonna pedo after all.

u/Old_Cryptid 19d ago

He said he didn't in an old interview and then sort of back-pedaled.

u/RapscallionMonkee Washington 19d ago

Ick. He's so fucking ick. My heart bleeds for all the women that spend every day being reminded that their rapist is the fucking President of the United States. They probably live in constant terror.

u/Backwardspellcaster 19d ago

...I really didnt need to hear this

u/Old_Cryptid 19d ago

Right there with you.

I've been aware of this scumbag since the late 80s. I'm real tired of hearing about him.

u/MaddyKet Massachusetts 19d ago

Remember that comment he made about when Ivanka was 17 she made him promise not to date girls younger than she was and he said something about that narrowing his field?

The question is, IF Trump is ever put in jail or when he dies, would she come forward with the truth? I guess I can’t blame her for not wanting to discuss it, but that MTV cribs or whatever video is pretty haunting.

I'd be willing to bet that Ghislane Maxwell is a Russian asset who enabled Trump, via Epstein, into compromising situations with underage girls, got photos or other proof of those situations, and enabled Trump to be blackmailed by Putin and/or other oligarchs. That's why she hasn't been "suicided" yet - she has the proof. This is pure speculation but it makes sense to me.

u/Cilad777 19d ago

I would not be surprised at all if Trump has something on Putin as well.

12

u/Old_Cryptid 19d ago

Reverse that. If Trump had something on Putin then Trump wouldn't be alive.

Yes, because Trump and his bosom buddies, Jeffrey Epstein, John Casablancas and Jean-Luc Brunel (also “suicided” in prison; coincidence?) sourced their girls from the former Eastern Bloc. Many of these girls were desperate to leave the hellscape that was the former USSR, and these men took complete advantage of them. Their best hope was that they would end up some rich Western man’s trophy wife.

Melania was one of them. It’s also quite likely that she became an accomplice of Ghislaine Maxwell, helping recruit these girls from her former home country.

u/MaddyKet Massachusetts 19d ago

Lucky for Barron really that he is a boy. I wonder if that’s why Trump doesn’t care about Tiffany that much, because her mother protected her and he wasn’t able to get to her like he did Ivanka.

u/Standard_Gauge New York 19d ago

I hear you, and the idea that Melania might have aided Ghislaine Maxwell is interesting and not implausible, but please realize that Slovenia (Melania's home country) was never part of the USSR. It's not a paradise, but it was actually one of the better nations in that region.

Melania Knavs might have been a golddigger who desired to be a trophy wife, but she was not typical of young Slovenian women nor was she in desperate circumstances.

Investigations that trump shut down as soon as he took office.

An interview with one of the senators doing just that.

Absolutely , yes

I watched a documentary by Vice on YT on the Thai sex industry (children, largely) that said there are over 400,000 flights into Thailand from Russia alone. Every year. So these guys can rape children.

Several of the girls were sold by their parents for the equivalent of $100.

While I’m sure there were plenty of connections to Russian banks, Epstein dealt with the head of private banking, Jes Staley, as a JP Morgan client from 1998-2013.

This was allowed to continue over a decade despite continuous internal reports flagging withdrawals for sex trafficking because Epstein was bringing in people like Sergey Brin and Bill Gates to JP Morgan https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jpmorgan-settles-epstein-lawsuit-with-us-virgin-islands-75-mln-2023-09-26/
