Fri Dec 19, 2025, 10:18 AM
Dec 2025

I don't know who alerted on you, but some people may feel you missed an important point about rape.
A point I made in response to you.

That most rapists don't care about looks.
It is a crime of violence, humiliation, sexual control.

Most men can get or buy consensual sex with women of any appearance they like.
But rapists don't want that, they like the cruelty and terror they instill.

All of that said, from a clinical perspective some rapists and serial killers are looking for a certain appearance.
So their victims tend to look alike.

And in the particular case of the Trump rapes, appearance of the victim does seem to be an issue.
Stormy and EJean Carroll were both attractive blonds. Two of his wives were attractive blonds.
His daughter he lusts after is an attractive blond.

So I think your comment is legit, but it rubbed some women the wrong way for the reason I outlined.

ETA I wanted to add a point that we should consider. For Trump, it may not be about attractiveness per se, but
about APPEARANCE. Trump's mother was an attractive blond and I wonder if his anger at his mother is a core
issue in his rapes and crimes. Many serial killers of women have mother issues, a lot of anger at the women in their life.

Indeed, we have heard Trump himself retaliate against rape accusations by saying that the accuser wasn't attractive enough for him to rape - for example, in the case of E. Jean Carroll, if I recall correctly.

Pedos don't care about their "looks". They care more about their age and sometimes their sex. But it's mostly about corruption, cruelty and access. Not so much which girl is prettier but which little girl can they get their hands on without being caught.

Ivanka was definitely sexually abused because her mother didn't protect her as well. That's why pedo Trump goes on and on about her 'looks". Because Ivanka was more easily available to him. She was his favorite because he got to abuse her regularly. When Ivanka becomes an old lady and her abuser is dead, she's going to come out with it all.

I bet the young boys were also sexually abused by the pedo Trump.

He's an evil disgusting piece of crap and the MAGAts should be ashamed for supporting a pedo.

I hope you'll think about this.

"Attractiveness" has nothing to do with whether a person is a victim of sexual assault. It is all about having power over another person.

90 year old women are sexually assaulted. Three month old babies are sexually assaulted. Predators look for victims who are vulnerable, and often those are not the prettiest or most popular people.

If you were a sexual predator you would know this. Based on your post, I guess that you've never sexually assaulted anybody - because you don't know how the predators think.

Lots of predators like to brag about what they've done, so people who study their behavior know it's about power, not attraction.

Fri Dec 19, 2025, 11:59 AM
Dec 2025

They were only married a few years, unlike his marriage to Ivana which lasted until the first 3 kids were in their teens.

Marla Maples and Chump separated and divorced rather suddenly, and she moved out of his life immediately. I believe there were several years where Chump never saw Tiffany, or his time with her was supervised and restricted. He always paid child support and her education expenses, etc. but wasn't close to her emotionally or physically. I'm sure Marla was over-protective out of fear for her daughter's innocence (and safety.)

At the time, the rumors flying around were that Marla cheated on him, and he dumped her because of her infidelity. I've never believed that for a second, knowing what a liar he's been his entire life.

Supposedly they were buddies until Chump screwed his "friend" out of a real estate deal in 2005 (?). But it also might have been that Chump learned of Epstein's Florida conviction on the morals charge, and decided he didn't want to be friends after that.

In my mind... in my opinion... there is no doubt that Ivanka has been sexually molested. Only question I have is was it incest only, or was she shared amongst his friends, too?

If so, it could be one reason why she has no problem seeing him humiliated, demeaned, and thrown away the way things are happening today. If she'd any reason to care about him, she'd have put a stop to all the nonsense and put him in one of the best memory care homes in the country. Instead, we have him running all over the country making a fool of himself and us.

Tina Davis, who worked with Ford Models in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to “dress sexy,” according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. “All the girls were really young,” Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. “Some of them could have been in training bras.”

When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Davis’s mother.

During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,” she told Ms. Coleman. “Protect her.”

Ms. Maples denied making the comment. “I would always protect young women in any way I could,” she said, “but I am sure I didn’t specifically say that about my daughter’s father.”

Too bad Maples doesn't have half the courage the Epstein survivors demonstrate.

It's easy to criticize her but so what if she confirmed that quote? What would change? He hasn't been held responsible for anything.

I keep remembering Stormy saying she was threatened by Piggy thugs while putting her child in a car seat. Ambushed while unsuspecting and vulnerable with her child!

I can only imagine what horrors these women and girls have to live with.

Of course Marla Maples denies saying what she said, just like Ivana Trump denied that Krasnov dragged her down a flight of stairs by her hair.

Michael Cohen stated that Krasnov has never been in a physical confrontation his entire life, I think Cohen was only talking about physical confrontations with men.

She married him 2 months after Tiffany was born in 1993
They separated in 1997.
Divorced in 1999

Under the terms of their prenuptial agreement and divorce settlement, Maples is bound by a confidentiality agreement regarding their marriage


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marla_Maples]

So Marla, the only non-immigrant unwise enough to marry that repulsive misogynist sociopath, was nonetheless smart enough to bug out when her daughter was 6. If Shitler's attorneys have more than two brain cells among 'em, she probably faces a huge financial penalty for talking too much truth about the proclivities he shared with his best buddy Jeff.

34. Sometimes Kids get sexually abused by their parent
Fri Dec 19, 2025, 10:19 AM
Dec 2025

And their "safe" parent never comes to the child's rescue or says anything. Then add money to the mix. Lots and lots of stolen loot to pass around.

It's sometimes easier for parents to ignore it, blame the child or just protect their source of income and keep quiet.

I hope those kids get some serious therapy.

Fri Dec 19, 2025, 03:17 PM

that if she felt that strongly that she warned someone to stay far away from her ex, she should have told the world.
I'm sure he would have impoverished her for breaking an NDA or some shit if she did. I'm trying not to be judgmental, but if he'd been taken down 20 or 30 years ago, countless numbers of humans would have been spared so much pain.

this is a criticism not focused solely on marla maples. Dozens, hundreds, who know how many people tucked their consciences far, far away from themselves in order to maintain their lifestyle. money matters more than people. like guns. guns matter than people too, but that's only because of the money.

when it comes to this particular predator, untold damage. for decades.

Krasnov has long been tied to the NYC mafia, among other things. Marla knew what was going on, and didn't want to end up at the bottom of the East River. And now she's still keeping her silence because she saw what happened to Ivana.

How sad. It amazes me that there is no conscience there. No empathy for all of the people that diaper don has harmed. Same with Ivana and the current one. Initially, I could see how they felt that they had to protect their children. But the children are all grown now.

The answer? Trump got away with being a predator pedophile for so long and yet was elect president and was even reelected after January 6, 2021, is due solely to Fox, Putin's government operations, and the other rightwing propaganda influences.

Still it boggles the mind.

Ivanka is a bit removed since he married Jared but that’s largely due to profiting (or at least getting debt erased) from being in Trump’s inner circle.

Eric manages the winery near Charlottesville. His wife has completely taken advantage of being in Trump world.

Jr…..🙄. Now they try to portray him as a financial wheeler and dealer but, again, it’s just because he works for his father.

Marla Maples denied that she made a comment telling a woman to keep her daughter away from President Donald Trump, The New York Times reported.

“I would always protect young women in any way I could,” Maples told the outlet. “But I am sure I didn’t specifically say that about my daughter’s father.”

She's garbage? Greedy? Stupid? Etc.

How many others, including men, are walking around right now, with complete knowledge of what this Piggy filth have done to women and girls for DECADES, and said nothing.

Marla has probably lived under a shadow of terror ever since she met and experienced the real "garbage!"

If she had confirmed this it would change absolutely NOTHING, except for maybe her and her family's life expectancy, because that Piggy filth is never held accountable for anything.

And blaming her effectively removes the responsibility from him. It's always win-win for him.

commenting on Tiffany Trump's looks v. Ivanka - people could easily pull up photos of Ivanka pre-surgery to see that she was not a classically attractive girl.

I believe I read that Marla Maples moved herself and her daughter to California to make sure Tiffany didn't have much contact with the Pedo in Chief.

Virginia Giuffre's memoir. It was a hard go. Especially the part where she was trying to get someone to listen to her and hold Epstein to account. I can't imagine Marla, especially in those pre-Me-Too days, would have been in a much better place, as far as being able to speak up and be believed.
So when I think about that, I find it a little harder to blame the Mrs. Trumps.

Sat Dec 20, 2025, 01:49 PM
Dec 2025

but I think she was basically trafficked herself -- via the use of the modeling agency as a front for sex work. But, as an immigrant, she had "skin in the game" and couldn't exactly speak up and blow up the whole operation without danger of deportation. An additional issue was that, in her mid-late 30s, she was running up on her expiration date in the "modeling" industry (especially when it was so much in the hands of literal pedophiles...) and had to find her meal ticket/"retirement plan" fast.

Ugh, I feel so dirty (kindof) defending Melania. Time for a shower.

115. It's 'The Ultimate Transgression: Kompromat Culture & the Competitive Depravity Olympics'
Sat Dec 20, 2025, 04:04 AM
Dec 2025

Watch the video and discussion here https://gregolear.substack.com/p/the-ultimate-transgression-kompromat
Here's an extract -

GREG OLEAR (GO)
You wrote something on Blue Sky last week about—and I think the word you used was “transgression.” And you said, and I’m paraphrasing, that in your experience with the wealth management class and these rich people, the one thing that the super duper rich people have in common is that what animates them is this idea of transgression—of getting away with something.

So talk a little bit about that, because that’s not in the book, but it’s an interesting idea, and I think you’re on to something.

BROOKE HARRINGTON (BH)
Many Americans have been really puzzled at the gleeful sadism that many members of the Trump administration have been sharing with the public. It’s not like the Nixon tapes, where they were chortling behind closed doors with their nasty racist remarks. These people are, like, shoving people out of the way to get in front of a camera to say, “I am a sadistic fuck! I like to kill puppies!”
