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.

    well this is a creative line to go out of your way to defend a pedophile

    Trump is a sleeze, but the event itself is also part of the problem.

    It has always been, not really the point

    Are all the judges supposed to be under 18, then?

    pedo trump was not judging them for the competition, he just wasted to look at kids dancing for him

    I guess it _might_ show a pattern of behavior that Trump associates with young girls, but the event itself set up the conditions for older men objectifying young girls.

    and trump wanted a private screening

      How in the world did you take my post as defense for a pedophile? My point is just that the organizers invited Trump there.

        Minimizing his participation in an unsanctioned parade of underaged girls purely for his entertainment is pretty much a defense of his behaviour

        My point is just that the organizers invited Trump there.

        So is this…

        I guess if you got invited to see a bunch of scantly dressed underaged girls for no reason other than your enjoyment, you’d find it acceptable?

          I didn’t minimize shit. You are too dense to see the point. Someone organized this bullshit, with TEN judges. Beauty pageants are garbage. The whole scene is gross to me. Yet, somehow is your brain, you think I’m making excuses for Trump? Jesus, take a fucking pill.
