Marla Maples once warned the mother of a teen girl to keep her daughter away from Maples’ then-husband, President Donald Trump. At the time, Trump sometimes bused in models for parties at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, which the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein also frequently attended.

One 14-year-old model who was signed with Ford Models was told to “dress sexy” for a party in late 1994, according to a report in The New York Times detailing Trump’s relationship with Epstein. The girl’s mother, Sandra Coleman, said her daughter Tina Davis was one of eight or nine models scouted for the party who were “really young.”

“Some of them could have been in training bras,” Coleman told the Times.

      “Daaaaad, can you please stop raping my friends now I’m 17?”
      “FFS, fine”
      “Daaad, swear it!”
      “I promise I’ll not rape YOUR friends”
      “Thank you. Wait…”

      Even worse reminder that she had supposedly been asking him for that promise since she was 13 or 14, but he consistently refused to do so until she was 17. Notably, 17 was the age of consent for New York, where they lived. So he had refused to swear it until after it was “legal” for him to agree to it. She had been asking for years by that point. She knew what was going on, and knew that her friends weren’t safe around her own father.

          I mean none of this is new. People just didn’t care, they literally released a tape where he admitted to forcing himself on women during his 2016 campaign.

    Yeah he’s obviously done things to Ivanka, his words and actions show it, but also her own body language and that unsettling tour of her childhood bedroom also tells a lot.
