Mar-a-Lago Member Reportedly Made Crude Gag About Epstein Selling Trump a Woman for $22,500

A member of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club joked about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein selling Trump a “fully depreciated” woman for $22,500 in 2003, according to a new report.

On Monday, members of the House Oversight Committee received a copy of a birthday book that was put together for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, including a bizarre birthday message Trump reportedly sent to Epstein – which the president has denied penning.

The birthday book also reportedly featured contributions from former President Bill Clinton and billionaire investor Leon Black, as well as a letter written by Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow joking about Epstein selling Trump a woman.

That's what's known as an inside joke. They all were in on Epstein's actions in at least by a second hand knowledge. marble falls Sep 2025 #2

In front of his members and at the golf course. Locker room talk as he would claim.

more than a few people joked about my being gay, turns out they were right. Not sure why your post made me think of that. I am sure it will come to me eventually.

Statue of Liberty. It was a clear, breezy evening, and from the upper deck of the Spirit of New York, a golden sunset could be seen glinting off the Manhattan skyline. Downstairs, a party was in flow. Scores of teenage girls in evening dresses and miniskirts, some as young as 14, danced under disco lights. It could have been a high school prom, were it not for the crowd of older men surrounding them.

As the evening wore on, some of the men – many old enough to be the girls’ fathers, or even grandfathers – joined them on the dancefloor, pressing themselves against the girls. One balding man in a suit wrapped his arms around two young models, leering into a film camera that was documenting the evening: “Can you get some beautiful women around me, please?”

The party aboard the Spirit of New York was one of several events that Donald Trump, then 45, attended with a group of 58 aspiring young models that September. They had travelled from around the world to compete in Elite’s Look of the Year competition, an annual event that had been running since 1983 and was already credited with launching the careers of Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour. At stake was a life-changing prize: a $150,000 contract with the world’s then leading modelling agency, Elite Model Management, run by John Casablancas.

Trump was closely involved in Casablancas’s competition. In 1991, he was a headline sponsor, throwing open the Plaza, his lavish, chateau-style hotel overlooking Central Park, transforming it into the main venue and accommodating the young models. He was also one of its 10 judges.

If you associate with Trump, you are outing yourself as a moral degenerate. Period.
