Republican nominee Donald Trump has placed immigration at the core of his presidential campaign. He has claimed that undocumented immigrants are "taking our jobs" and "taking our money," pledged to deport them en masse, and vowed to build a wall on the Mexican border. At one point he demanded a ban on Muslims entering the country. Speaking to supporters in Iowa on Saturday, Trump said he would crack down on visitors to the United States who overstay their visas and declared that when any American citizen "loses their job to an illegal immigrant, the rights of that American citizen have been violated." And he is scheduled to give a major address on immigration in Arizona on Wednesday night.
But the mogul's New York modeling agency, Trump Model Management, has profited from using foreign models who came to the United States on tourist visas that did not permit them to work here, according to three former Trump models, all noncitizens, who shared their stories with Mother Jones. Financial and immigration records included in a recent lawsuit filed by a fourth former Trump model show that she, too, worked for Trump's agency in the United States without a proper visa.
Founded in 1999, Trump Model Management "has risen to the top of the fashion market," boasts the Trump Organization's website, and has a name "that symbolizes success." According to a financial disclosure filed by his campaign in May, Donald Trump earned nearly $2 million from the company, in which he holds an 85 percent stake. Meanwhile, some former Trump models say they barely made any money working for the agency because of the high fees for rent and other expenses that were charged by the company.
The Trump modeling agency also encouraged the girls to lie about their immigration status if asked and once of the former models said this: "Honestly, they are the most crooked agency I've ever worked for, and I've worked for quite a few."
Some of these models were as young as 14 years old and they were warehoused in small dormitory style apartments for which they were overcharged. There were other fees requested of the young ladies and after they were paid it left virtually no money left over.
Gee another Trump scandal? It must be Wednesday.
And while this should matter and be reported, the media turns its head.
ReplyDeleteThis is a case of human trfficking that Duh and his partners should investigate.One of the PayMe's reading this should alert Duh to his first big case.
DeleteThis may be Duh's inspiration. We will see if he does something. So far he has someone post to donate money. He is delaying having his project take off. He will be all over media and doing all he did with his other foundation work. The Marines know how to train them to get donations.
DeleteIf Duh's inspiration is not Trump, it may be he knows about Todd.
Do you think he used that business when he first went to Alaska?
It was on Yahoo News. I read the full article last night.
DeleteHe is such a scumbag. And to think the GOP couldn't be bothered to actually look into his past before they allowed him to hijack the nomination. Poor Donnie. The media is 'so unfair.' Yeah, to the people of this nation. We almost had the Democratic nomination hijacked by a sometime Democrat who was in it for the money, and the GOP did exactly that...let a smooth-taping con man take over. Well, I hope all the dirt on Donnie comes out and takes down the GOP forever. You built this, Reince. Now sit there and tell us how 'GREAT" Mr. Trump is. Please proceed, GOP. Your model citizen should be in jail with Corey, Manafort, and Bannon. Traitors all.
ReplyDelete"for which they were overcharged."
ReplyDeleteYou mean like he did to the campaign when he thought he could get away with it?
Who takes advantage of illegals when it suits him to make money off them AND when he wants to vilify them? Yeah, that's trump.
I read the girls were in bunks six to a room and charged $1400 a month EACH for the honor of having a bed. You can bet they were were making lots of money, none of which they ever saw after 'expenses' were deducted (no taxes, of course.) Can this man be any more criminal without being in jail?
DeleteNo.
DeleteLike he takes advantage of EVERYONE.
It has nothing to do with anything but he's Trump and they aren't.
I'm sure, given the opportunity, he would overcharge his own kids.
He also uses contractors who employ illegal aliens to build his buildings.
ReplyDeleteHA HA he is going to crack down on visitors that overstay their visas, how does he plan to find them?
We don't need more immigration laws, we need the man power to enforce the laws that are already on the books.
I guess they haven't come up with more lies to cover Melanomia's illegal status. Just another broken little Donnie promise.
Yes of course! There are many low paying jobs, lingerie parties to attend, and Viagra bottles to fill. Mr lover lover resort and his reality entertainment clown show have invited America into his dark souless world.

ReplyDeleteMelania Trump was a Trump model for a brief period after meeting her future husband in the late 1990s.

Did the Trump organization take naked pictures of Melania K?
(Mrs Trump appears in the images under her stage name Melania K, short for Melania Knauss, her original name per the Daily Mail)
Donald do you have any naked pictures of Melania K? Wanna buy some?
ReplyDeleteSome of these models were as young as 14 years old and they were warehoused in small dormitory style apartments for which they were overcharged.
ReplyDelete$$$$$$
Just a coinky dinky
Huffington Post
An anonymous “Jane Doe” filed a federal lawsuit against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump last week, accusing him of raping her in 1994 when she was thirteen years old. The mainstream media ignored the filing.
He may have helped supply those under aged models for the parties. Many people are talking about this and saying it, good people...
DeleteAgain????
DeleteThere is already a lawsuit that is pending. I believe that court was to start the day after the election.
REALLY REALLY hoping this information gets legs and lots of evidence - not all his fanatic fanbase will care - but those who are just voting for him because he is not Hillary may finally see what an dishonest idiot he is once and for all
ReplyDeleteModeling agency? Sounds more like a human trafficking ring.
ReplyDeleteDING DING DING... Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winter!
Delete@6:02 YEP coming fast..Long/cold..and Dark..
DeleteNow you know how he met wife #3.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the stories of her working illegally in the country are true.
Oh, you know these kinds of undocumented immigrants don't matter, right? Even if they are underage(wink, wink), not even the fundies will get worked up over this kind of undocumented immigration. It's all those brown skinned folks who take all the jobs no regular Americans will work at that are the real threat.
ReplyDeleteLike marry Donald Trump?
DeleteYes, like marry Donald Trump. Obviously, no self-respecting American wanted that job.
DeleteThat's because the undocumented can't VOTE.
DeleteMost of the drooling fools who are for Trump won't even hear or see this because their "news" sources won't report it. The droolers that I know are, at this point, sticking their fingers in their ears and screeching "LALALAALALA" at the top of their voices to drown out anything negative about Trump. They are gleefully posting about Trump being up in the polls and Hillary about to be arrested or about to drop dead from poor health.
ReplyDeleteHowever the election ends, it will not end well in how the droolers react to either outcome.
The girls were also set up with rich guys, on "dates". So, the apple does not fall from the tree in Drumpf land, his grand daddy was a pimp also, too.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump says, "I don't hate illegal immigrants. That's a lie by the liberal media - I never said I hate the illegals. I said I hat the illegals. I think they should all have hats. When it was first reported - probably by Rachel Maddow - there was a typo where they said 'hates' and it should have been 'hats'. Bad reporting. Sad. Why doesn't Rachel Maddow think the illegals should have hats? Sad."
ReplyDeleteHis second wife was American.
ReplyDelete6:00, he only married her because she "accidentally" became pregnant. He ditched her just before she could get a bundle from the prenup. Though child support had her set for life, ah la Bristol.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't bristols husband run to these women's rescue isn't this essentially human trafficking?
ReplyDeleteBristol or Sarah won't make a stink about it.
Delete1. Sarah is still looking for a cabinet job.
2. Too close to home. As in Shailey Tripp.
3. Those two only attack minorities and white Democrats.
Based on his hair, that photo looks fairly recent, unless it was shopped. But he is slime personified, as evidenced by the 'great people' he has around him. It'd be like handing America over to the Mafia. The Russian Mafia.
ReplyDelete* 14 year old models
ReplyDelete* 13 year old said she was raped
* 12 YEAR OLD PARIS HILTON??
* YOUNG PIECE OF ASS
* Ivanka
Not implying anything. Just noting what I read.
To add to Anonymous5:04 AM
Some of these models were as young as 14 years old ...
... accusing him of raping her in 1994 when she was thirteen years old.
Then there's:
“I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12. Her parents are friends of mine, and, you know, the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ … Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that. They’re sort of always stuck around that 25 category.” (The Howard Stern Show, 2003).
And:
“You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” (Esquire, 1991)
And:
Everybody knows about how he feels about Ivanka's body and if he wasn't her daddy.
Okay. Good. Now dig deeper. We haven't dug deep enough on the Donald. I am sure there is more atrocious and self-serving things he as done. With his character, the things he has said, and his snotty behavior towards people of color, I think someone like him has more skeletons in his closet. So, dig deeper.
ReplyDeleteThis needs to be hammered in to the mainstream...
ReplyDeleteWonder if he will have HI$ Pa$$port down in Mexico?

Under the category of What Could Go Wrong?:
ReplyDeleteTrump is visiting Mexico today, hours before his big speech on immigration. It appears to have been a last minute decision and he is bringing Rudy Guiliani and Jeff Sessions - two politicians not known for their foreign policy chops or basic intelligence - with him. Of course, there has been no time for adequate preparation with qualified foreign policy advisers. Trump never thinks he needs to prepare because he's The Best and, oh yeah, he HAS no qualified foreign policy advisers.
The Mexican president is one of the most unpopular in history so he has a lot to prove to his own citizens, which doesn't bode well for Trump. Being as thin-skinned and volatile as he is, there is a strong possibility that this will be a disaster, with the big immigration speech later today shining a big, shiny spotlight on the conflagration.
On the other side of the aisle, Hillary's well-oiled machine of a campaign lost no time in poking the bear by compiling a long list of offensive tweets that Trump has posted about Mexico in one handy-dandy reference page. I knew he had posted many insulting comments, but there were some really ugly one from February and March I had never heard about.
I know that Bannon hopes this will make Trump look statesmanlike, but between his history of insults, hair-trigger temper, and lack of preparation, this trip is likely to have the exact opposite effect.

He'll just lie and say that Mexico agreed to not only pay for the wall but to also build it.
DeleteWanna bet it wasn't only modeling they were required to do? Seems pimping and politics are pretty cozy bedfellows (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteHe did not want to marry Marla. Remember she had to do that 'best sex ever' promo for Little Hands?
ReplyDelete"Face it, American women - he's just not that into you."
ReplyDeleteHe's into foreign women who he can control without fear of reprisal, who he can underpay and claim it all back in rent, who he can promise everything and deliver nothing, and who cannot vote.
He then claims he would be better for the interests of women than Hillary.
Remember this, American women, when you go to vote.
Does Trump have any granddaughters?
ReplyDeleteYa know, if I wasn't her grandfather I would be dating her.
