Porn star Jessica Drake claims Donald Trump offered her $10G, use of his private jet for sex

Source: New York Daily News

An award-winning porn star accused a creepy Donald Trump of offering $10,000 and the use of his private jet if she agreed to spend the night with him.

Jessica Drake said the GOP presidential hopeful’s unwanted sexual come-ons occurred 10 years ago during a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.

When she rebuffed Trump’s sexual overtures, Drake told a news conference Saturday, he asked her two questions: “What do you want? How much?”

Drake said her spurned suitor continued to pursue her despite her rejection.

Of course, I'm sure that the escorts, if any, have enough integrity to not dish on their clients. If anything, Ms. Drake has informed us of what extent Trump is prepared to go to, in order to have sex. The man's a sexual predator of the first order.

He has a long history of not paying contractors, etc. He would know that there wouldn't be much she could do without getting her own self into trouble. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to find out there's other women he's propositioned with insane amounts of money, and then not paid if they took him up on it.

Right wing Republican consultant Rick Wilson hinted earlier this week on Daily Caller
there would be more Trump 'oppo' (opposition) coming out, but left it there. He said
it would be a "whoa" moment to Christian supporters

Is this Ms. Drake story current, breaking news this afternoon?

For people who lead a libertine lifestyle there is always possibilities ... unknown
concubines?, stuff like this?, Spitzer type stuff? ... Planned Parenthood? ... who knows?
Wealth, NYC style. Hollywood stars have dropped dead from drugs. Read the book
"The Buy Side" by Turney Duff about Wall Street's culture. Sex, drugs, rock 'n roll in NYC.
Even the tame strip clubs in NYC.

Wonder if this story will have legs, or is the public just plain tired of the whole thing at
this point.

But there is a difference between a sex performer/porn star and a sex worker/escort. Just because one will do supervised movies with other performers does not necessarily imply they will sell their body privately. There are some who do escort as well to be sure, but she may not have even gone with him if he were to her liking.

I was a performer (onstage, musicals, not porn!) and a lot of people discovering I was an actor assumed I'd entertain somehow at any kids birthday party they paid me fifty bucks for, which was not true, and metaphorically sort of the same thing.

It's acting regardless, porn stars just do it on camera and get paid more. Many porn stars double as escorts, and vice versa. I mean, I used to hang out with porn stars, strippers and prostitutes, privately they will tell you it's all the same shit and we all usually end up at the same places. On backs on beds you dont want to be in.

Even though porn to some implies the individual will do anything for money, this is not always the case.
Some porn stars have spouses and families, and would no sooner turn a trick than a church-lady would.
Escorts and prostitutes actually put themselves in a lot more danger because they never know what's going to happen when they are alone with their client.
Just as some people may decide to strip for a living, that does not imply they are also prostitutes, and still deserve respect for what they decide or don't decide to do with their bodies.
Many legitimate stars have done nude modeling; we know that the lead guy in Magic Mike was a stripper, and there's no automatic assumption that he was also an escort.

Those are the ones who think because they're rich they can "grab em by the pussy". That's the kind of thinking we are better than. I was an actor in Miami for a while and I had friends who were models, nude models, did body shoots, and some of them were okay with doing occasional porn. Some of them thought it was fun, some just needed the money and would rather do that than something illegal.

But this plays into the "women can't dress comfortably/sexy/attractive/how they want because if they do it wrong, it's an invitation for people to infer they are willing to do things they might not be actually willing to do.

And this is on both sides with men and women. I've seen in my workplace if a girl comes in wearing too tight or short a skirt, or too much makeup, all the other women suddenly decide she's a whore. That's not a progressive way to think at all.

He's just really a pathetic husk of a man, and from what I read, he's always been pathetic. I'm waiting for the woman or women who he's paid for their abortions. You KNOW there's a few out there.

The donald made a serious mistake when he decided to try to turn her into a prostitute. Porn stars are not prostitutes. What they do is completely legal. He wanted her to break the law and demean herself and she didn't give a shit about his power or his money.

I hate to break this to you, but most of them are actually prostitutes off camera.

That's where the real money is for the majority of the people in the industry who aren't top earners. The "films" are just advertisements for their work as escorts and strippers.


Additionally, there's nothing strange about Trump having propositioned this woman. Back when I used to listen to Howard Stern (when I was much younger), he had on many a porn star who bragged about sleeping with rich and famous men for money and/or expensive gifts.

They were engaged before the grope pussy tape.

I doubt the prenup covered this kind of public humiliation.
