Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.

  You don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?

  And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?

  It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

    Yep!! Why would anyone have to promise not to abuse underage/barely of age women? “I promise I won’t molest kids” should ALWAYS be unnecessary

      The idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.

      “In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”

      This was in 2006

      Trump married Melenia in 2005

      So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.

      Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.

      Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”

      Trump fumbled a bit at the response.

      “If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.
