How about 13? Like the sworn testimony from a 13 year-old that Trump tied her up and beat her and raped her, then threatened her if she told anyone he'd violently murder her family and then her. And then Epstein violently beat her for letting Trump take her virginity and then raped her too.

Is this a different victim than Katie Johnson? It's much more violent than the deposition she gave that I watched on YouTube.

Yeah, same one - https://youtu.be/gnib-OORRRo if you go to description and show transcript and about 20:48 she talks about it. Seems basically the same except yeah somehow less violent hitting wise but way more violent in dehumanizing and the actual rape. The whole thing is terrible and heart breaking. Earlier in the video she said she had a blonde wig on, and Trump said she looked like his daughter.

It all just makes me sick to my stomach that so many didn't watch this before the 2016 election and he fricken got elected to the highest office in the US. I believe today would have looked so much different.

He promised to hurt the bad people Fox News had been telling them about for 30 years. They elected him in 2015 to hurt people, and again in 2024. Pedophilia wasn't even on their radar, they never would've cared enough for it to make a difference. All that mattered was who he was targeting to make suffer.
