Teen Beauty Queens Say Trump Walked In On Them Changing
Source: BuzzFeed
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants some as young as 15 were changing.
I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, Oh my god, theres a man in here, said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.
Trump, she recalled, said something like, Dont worry, ladies, Ive seen it all before.

Most of the women had fond recollections of Ivanka Trump, who, they said, came into the changing room to mingle. Billado said she told Ivanka about Donald Trump entering the room while the girls were changing their clothes. Billado remembers Ivanka answering, Yeah, he does that.

Ivanka was 15 at the time, the article says, and cohosting the pageant.
And her "Yeah, he does that" comment, shrugging off behavior that would have seemed inappropriate to most people, makes me wonder how often he'd walked in on her when she wasn't dressed.

(959 posts)I have been thinking really dark thoughts about this relationship for a long time. The creep factor is HUGE here. Too many inappropriate pics, too much kissy, butt touching etc. Now this. Mr. Entitlement knows no boundaries, and in his rarefied circles, children services does not exist, and who would tell anything anyway? Very, very disturbing.

(409 posts)while they're changing and naked. He said he could get away with things like that because he owned the pageant. He wasn't specifically referring to the teen pageants when he made the remarks, but given what we know now, what he said definitely seems to apply to all of his pageants.
Here's some of what he said:
Ill tell you the funniest is that Ill go backstage before a show and everyones getting dressed, Trump told Stern in the recordings. No men are anywhere, and Im allowed to go in, because Im the owner of the pageant and therefore Im inspecting it
. Is everyone OK? You know, theyre standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.

Trump: Ill go backstage before a show and everyones getting dressed and ready and everything else. And you know, no men are anywhere. And Im allowed to go in because Im the owner of the pageant. And therefore, Im inspecting it. You know Im inspecting it. I want to make sure everything is good.
Stern: Youre like a doctor.
Trump: Is everyone OK? You know theyre standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.

BumRushDaShow
(128,920 posts)He has been law-breaking for decades. The material that is out there on him that has actually been reported on in the mainstream media over the past 40+ years, is breathtaking.
I don't know if this will be society's watershed moment to finally make a move on him, but I expect that he has built up a support system over the years and will be "calling in favors" soon. He is a "godfather" of the entertainment and business worlds, with his finger in so many industries that it would take years to untangle (which is why he has gotten away with what he has), but they need to find the one thing that will take him out (like how they finally got Al Capone), and get on with it.

(128,920 posts)And that was exactly why they dismissed his past potentially criminal dealings and him in general.
But little did they know that he apparently made a decision this go-around, to get ready for his next venture - and it was not really his seeking the Presidency, although doing such would afford him the ability to further nationalize his "brand" and pad his pockets while his breathless groupies ran interference for him. It was to create his own branded media conglomerate.... And he showed them (the naive media) how masterful he can be manipulating them and otherwise using them for his own gain as he kamikaze-style bowled over 16 other lunatics running for the nomination while the media propped him up.
And when he loses and leaves a trail of destruction of the GOP in his wake, he will deploy the Breitbarts and Ailes and Omorosas and Don Kings and Hulk Hogans and Ted Nugents and Scott Baios and the beauty pageants and golf courses, and be ready to roll.

If walking in the dressing room of minors is true, it doesn't bode well for Trumpolini.

(14,853 posts)The victim has a witness too.
Trump supposedly told the victim that she would end up "like Maria" if she told what happened, and "Maria" was a former victim who was never seen again! Or so the victim and witness claim.

Ivanka probably still thinks all daddies do this.
