Straight up in Trump’s wheel house
The CHILDREN?
"There was very much a class aspect to this.
A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.
Some of them had been abused in their own families.
CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."
AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!
