Afterward the president asked, âAm I in trouble?â
The former CEO of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino drops a huge Jeffrey Epstein bombshell and reveals that Trump and the billionaire pedophile were caught smuggling underage girls into the Atlantic City establishment.And it gets so much worse...In a post on Slate, Jack OâDonnell revealed that on a Sunday morning years ago, Trump and Epstein arrived at the casino unannounced with "guests too young to be there." Trump "intimidated" casino staff and so they "failed to verify" the birthdays of the girls.The following Monday, OâDonnell was informed of the disturbing incident by an independent chief gaming inspector whose job it was to permanently monitor goings on at the casino. That individual stated that Trump had brought an underaged girl onto the casino floor.OâDonnell pressed him to explain how he knew they were underaged if no formal ID had been provided."Iâm a tennis fan, and recognized the woman with Trump, the worldâs No. 3 tennis player, Gabriela Sabatini," said the inspector, who knew that Sabatini was 19 at the time. The other two girls "appeared significantly younger."The inspector agreed to let the incident slide so long as OâDonnell issued a warning that any repeat occurrence would result in financial penalties as a well as "a public shaming when the media exposed this fortysomething casino owner hanging out with teenagers."When OâDonnell mentioned the incident to Trump, his boss said: "Oh shit. I never even thought about it. I did not realize. I never would have done that. Am I in trouble?âO'Donnell informed him about the warning, to which Trump replied: "I canât believe this guy is giving me a break. No one ever gives me a break." He then made "extended crude remarks" about Sabatini's body.."Jeffrey likes them youngâtoo young for me," Trump added. Clearly, he was aware of Epstein's pedophilia and enjoyed socializing with him nonetheless.O'Donnell has been telling this story for years, but nobody was listening until now. He further writes that if a formal infraction had been issued, a permanent record of the crime would have been created. Because Trump escaped with just a warning, the hard evidence is "lost to time." The White House has attacked O'Donnell's account of the incident, but he maintains its veracity.."But my memory of this event remains clear all these years laterânot least because I recounted most of it in a book I authored in 1991, Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald TrumpâHis Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall," he wrote. "It has been right there all these years.""At the time, my publisher wanted me to remove Epsteinâs name. I did. Years later, when Epstein was arrested and killed himself, I pointed back to this story. Few were interested in the connection then," O'Donnell added.In the Slate piece, he goes on to list some of the key reasons that Donald Trump should have never been electedâ"His business career is a monument to spectacular failure: six Chapter 11 bankruptcies and more than a dozen other disastrous business failures," he wrote. "From the Trump airline to Trump University, and ill-fated schemes to sell vodka, steaks, mortgages, and more, itâs a list of complete incompetence. Countless small investors, bondholders, and vendors, seduced by his image of success, suffered devastating financial losses, a testament to a lifetime of predatory business practices that long preceded his entry into politics. I witnessed plenty of his incompetence myself when I worked for him, and I tried to tell people, then and now. Yet it was once again disregarded or minimized by the American electorate and, and thus, a Republican Party hungry for power."He added that the "most egregious oversight" and the thing that "should have ended Trumpâs political aspirations from the outset" was his "association with Epstein."While O'Donnell can't say for sure how deep and twisted Trump's connections to Epstein's predations go, he wrote that he saw: "A man utterly unbothered by his friendâs behavior, even when it raised legal eyebrows on the floor of his own casino.""I am glad the public, including many of the presidentâs supporters, is finally turning its attention to Trumpâs actions with Epstein. I wrote about his behavior in 1991, and I will say it again now, this time with the benefit of people listening," he concluded.
