It’s possible that Donald Trump lowered his guard following a weekend spent in Scotland at a preferred golf course.
One of his own, of course.
The president talked about the actual reason he had a problem with the unpleasant Jeffrey Epstein.
Interestingly, it wasn’t due to the monstrous financier exploiting vulnerable, young girls to gain favor with his wealthy and well-known associates.
It happened because Epstein took his staff from Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach estate. Not just once, but twice. Despite Trump’s warning him to stop. He realized Epstein wasn’t really a good friend anymore.
On Air Force One, as Trump made his way back to the White House on Tuesday following what he considered a very productive journey (lots of golf, lots of flattery, and plenty of promoting his image), he brought up the subject again. “The idea of taking people who work for me is bad,” he said to reporters.
In the end, he added, they were employed at “one of the best spas in the world” at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump was questioned about whether one of the workers was Virginia Giuffre. “I believe she worked at the spa,” he responded. “I think that was one of the individuals. He took her.”
By the way,” he said quickly. “She had no issues with us, as you know, absolutely none.
Even after all this time, it is Epstein’s act of taking Trump’s staff that continues to bother him. A rivalry between two wealthy individuals.
However, Giuffre should not be recalled for a quick decision to transition from working for one affluent individual to another. She should be remembered for the significant consequences of that choice.
Many young women had their lives ruined by Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. They were chosen due to their age and lack of experience. And they were discarded as their innocence was taken by men who should have acted with more integrity.
Epstein might have taken Trump’s employees. But he took away the joy of his victims.
Giuffre was only 17 years old in 2000 while employed as a spa assistant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. She was fortunate to secure a comfortable position. However, she was unfortunate enough to encounter Maxwell.,Epstein’s long-time companion and chief organizer of young girls.
Maxwell questioned whether the teenager would be open to working as a massage therapist for Epstein, who had a house located nearby in Palm Beach. No prior experience was necessary.
In a May 2016 deposition, Giuffre stated she was outside the women’s locker room at that moment. “I was reading a book about massage therapy,” she said. “She saw that I was reading the massage book. And I began to chat with her about, you know, the body and anatomy and how I was interested in it. She mentioned that she knew someone who was looking for a traveling masseuse. If the guy likes you, then, you know, it will work out for you. You’ll travel. You’ll earn good money.”
So, she accepted the position and, in fact, traveled and met Epstein’s affluent and intriguing acquaintances. However, this was solely for the purpose of engaging in sexual activities with them. She alleged that Britain’s Prince Andrew was one of these individuals. She also mentioned a former governor, a former senator, a Harvard law professor, and the head of a modeling company, among others.
Epstein used the 5th Amendment to avoid discussing Maxwell’s involvement in recruiting Giuffre at Mar-a-Lago.
However, it seems Trump has chosen to address the Giuffre link. Legal documents reveal that the teenager received $1,866.50 from Mar-a-Lago in 2000, and Trump provided a reference for Giuffre’s father, who was employed in maintenance at the resort.
Her narrative is more critical than ever as the U.S. president struggles to evade media attention regarding his connection with Epstein.
Before she entered her twenties, she was considered unnecessary to Maxwell and Epstein and their nefarious plans.
She was no longer desired by their twisted, affluent acquaintances. She wastoo old at 19.
Of course, there is no implication that Trump was involved with Giuffre after she started working for Epstein at an age when most teenagers are preparing for their SAT exams.
However, her situation should not be overlooked while lawyers and politicians strive to protect the interests of their influential friends and bosses.
Her childhood was difficult. She alleged that she was sexually abused by a family acquaintance, and she experienced periods of living in foster care throughout her early years.
After being taken from Mar-a-Lago by Maxwell, she described being “passed around like a platter of fruit” to Epstein’s inappropriate contacts, according to her statement to the BBC. At only 17 years old, she alleged that she was sexually abused three times by Prince Andrew after being flown to meet him in London. The British royal denied all the claims and settled with Giuffre in 2023 outside of court. The agreement did not include any acknowledgment of wrongdoing. No apology was offered.
Rejected by Epstein in 2003, just under three years after she met him, she experienced some happiness for a time,falling in love and relocating falling in love and relocating falling in love and moving forward falling in love and changing locations falling in love and starting anew falling in love and shifting places falling in love and embarking on a new journey falling in love and making a fresh start falling in love and transitioning to a new place falling in love and beginning a new chapterto Australia. She gave birth to three children, but the marriage ended.
Her personal life collapsed, leading her to post a heartbroken message on Instagram on March 22 this year. “My wonderful children have no idea how much I love them, and they’re being fed false information. I miss them so deeply. I’ve endured many challenges throughout my 41 years, but this is hurting me more than anything else.”
A week later, she returned to social media to announce that she was on the brink of death following a severe car accident in Western Australia. The statement was called into question by the police.
In April, Giuffre passed away by suicide at her residence.
With hearts completely broken, we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” her family stated. “Virginia was a strong fighter in the battle against sexual abuse and human trafficking. She was the light that helped many survivors. Even though she faced many challenges in her life, she shone brightly. She will be deeply missed.
She was 41 at the time of her death. Too young.
Much too young.
