‘He was a total f---ing beast’; Trump allegedly partied with teens at cocaine-fuelled parties in the 90s: Report

Donald Trump allegedly hosted wild cocaine-fuelled sex parties with underage girls in the 1990s, according to The Daily Beast.
Long before he was a Republican presidential candidate, Trump used to rent out suites in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel so older rich men could meet - and have sex with - teen models as young as 15, say two sources.
One of the sources, a fashion photographer who requested anonymity, claimed the teens were there to network, but often found themselves in compromising situations.
"There were always dramas because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed," the source told The Daily Beast. "It’s based on power and dominating girls who can’t push back and can be discarded. There’s always someone to pick them back up. Nobody wants to call home and say ‘Help me.’"
Although Trump reportedly preferred to use the corner suites for parties - because they had the best views of Central Park - it was the combination of sex, drugs and booze that was the main draw for the men.
“I was there to party myself," says the source. "It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor.”
The photographer recalls Trump going room to room and, even though he never took any drugs, he did allegedly partake in a lot of sex.
"He was getting laid like crazy," the source said. "Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total f---ing beast.”
Male model Andy Lucchesi, described as one of the men who wrangled young models for the parties, agreed there was a lot of cocaine and many young women around, but downplays The Donald's alleged affairs.
“So, he’s a man with a woman,” he told The Daily Beast. “A lot of girls, 14, look 24. That’s as juicy as I can get. I never asked how old they were; I just partook. I did partake in activities that would be controversial, too.”

Hispanic woman claims co-workers used Trump images to harass

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A Hispanic woman says her white co-workers at an Iowa claims office used images of Donald Trump to racially harass her for months after they learned she was angered by his description of Mexican immigrants as rapists, according to a civil rights lawsuit she filed against her company.
Alexandra Avila’s co-workers at Sedgwick Claims Management Services — where they administered benefits for Walmart employees — began calling her an “illegal immigrant” even though she’s a natural-born U.S. citizen, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Iowa district court. The suit claims her former co-workers placed a picture of an angry-looking Trump as Avila’s computer’s screensaver, signed her up to volunteer for his campaign and sent her racist memes, including one that read: “How’s Mr. Donald Trump going to deport all these illegals? Juan by Juan.”
The Republican presidential candidate’s promise to build a border wall to keep out Mexican immigrants has for months contributed to racial tensions nationwide. “Build a wall” chants have been used by high school students to taunt Latino opponents at sporting events in multiple states, including Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana. At Kent State University, Latinos marching in the Homecoming parade this month said they were taunted with the same chant.
Avila, a 32-year-old mother of one who worked at Sedgwick for three years, claims she faced similar heckling at her white-collar workplace in Coralville, Iowa, from the beginning of Trump’s campaign in June 2015 until after she was fired five months later.
“It’s been a weird political season where one candidate is taking public stances on things that, if the same words were said in the workplace, might constitute violations of our civil rights laws,” said Avila’s attorney, Paige Fiedler. “His candidacy has emboldened some people to feel like that doesn’t violate social norms anymore.”
Lesley Gudehus, spokeswoman for Memphis, Tennessee-based Sedgwick, declined comment on the lawsuit.
Avila, born in California to Mexican parents, told colleagues she was upset with Trump’s 2015 campaign launch when he said of Mexican immigrants: “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
Soon after, the lawsuit claims, colleagues removed the photo Avila had of her young daughter as her computer screensaver and replaced it with a picture of Trump yelling and pointing his finger. When Avila removed the photo, they kept switching it back to Trump, the suit alleges.
An email arrived from the Trump campaign last fall thanking her for the support and asking how she wanted to help, according to the suit. Avila also claims her colleagues sent offensive memes, including one showing a brown-skinned man that read: “Found Jesus — he stabbed me twice.”
When her department was voting on a potluck menu, one co-worker said Avila was ineligible because she was an “illegal immigrant,” drawing laughter from Avila’s boss, the lawsuit claims. Avila contends that after she complained about the harassment, the company accused her of falsifying timecards by claiming she worked minutes more time than she actually did.
Avila was fired last November and escorted out, with Sedgwick saying it would send her personal property later. When her belongings arrived from FedEx, Avila says they contained a handwritten note that called her “La Trumpa” and added: “Illegal immigrants can’t vote or work. Good luck finding a job.”
“Getting that box in the mail was a horrific experience,” Fiedler says.
After her firing, a co-worker sent her an invitation to a Trump rally on Facebook, the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit, which names Sedgwick and two supervisors, alleges Avila suffered discrimination based on national origin and that the company failed to pay wages she earned.

Donald Trump’s Hollywood star vandalized
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Los Angeles police are investigating a pre-dawn attack that destroyed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame less than two weeks before the election.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which bestows the stars and maintains the popular tourist attraction, said it would quickly repair Trump’s spot, but it would take several days before it would visible.
Det. Meghan Aguilar said investigators were called to the scene Wednesday following reports that the presidential candidate’s star was struck by blows from a hammer. A sledgehammer, construction hat and vest, and a pick were recovered nearby, Officer Sal Ramirez said.
A man who identified himself as Jamie Otis said he’s responsible for the damage, telling the website Deadline Hollywood that he originally intended to remove Trump’s star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them. Trump has denied the groping allegations.
Aguilar said she was aware of the Deadline report but couldn’t comment on whether Otis is a suspect.
Trump’s star was dedicated in 2007 in recognition of his work on NBC’s reality TV show “The Apprentice.” Trump’s star is near the Dolby Theatre, where the Academy Awards are held each year.
To receive a star on the Walk of Fame, a celebrity has to be nominated and a $30,000 fee paid to a charitable trust.
It is at least the second time this year that Trump’s star has been targeted. In July, an artist installed a miniature wall topped with razor wire and “keep out” signs in response to Trump’s vow to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration and drug smuggling.
“When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark,” Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Leon Gubler wrote in a statement. “Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property.”

MILAN — An Italian land artist has used his tractor to transform a field near the Italian city of Verona into a giant portrait of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Artist Dario Gambarin created a similar portrait of Democrat Hillary Clinton in September.
Gambarin created the Trump portrait on a 25,000-square-metre field, writing “Ciao,” beneath Trump’s left shoulder, signifying recent polls that show Clinton ahead. Still, Gambarin was quoted by the Verona daily L’Arena as saying “anything can happen. And in case of defeat, the Republican Trump can in any case console himself with my huge portrait.”
Gambarin often chooses topical figures for his tractor art, which he creates freestyle in his cornfield without a pattern. Previous subjects have included Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and Pope Francis.

Married Donald Trump desperately wanted to have sex with Playboy model during time on 'Apprentice'

Donald Trump repeatedly proposed to Playboy model Brande Roderick during her time on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ even though he was already married, according to reports.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, didn’t stop there, according to the Daily Beast, quoting unnamed sources. No, Trump told just about anyone who worked on the TV program — the ex-playmate was a contestant on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ in 2009 and 2013 — that he desperately wanted to have sex with Roderick.
“(Trump) kept proposing to her and telling her how beautiful she was,” one anonymous staffer from ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ told the Daily Beast. “I think he was trying to be charming.”
The Donald didn’t stop at harmless flirting, though, even though he was married to Melania at the time. The leering and sexual comments were almost continuous when the cameras were turned off, another ex-Apprentice staffer said.
“I would f--- her, take her now,” Trump said, according to the ex-staffer, adding that “she definitely became something of a sexual obsession to him, and everyone could see it. Again, that wasn’t shocking to anyone on the show. At that point, after many years, it was just him being Trump.
“He would say really gross s--- about her all the time, sometimes in the boardroom — that he said these things about her was the least surprising thing, really,” the source said.
But Roderick defended Trump in an interview with MSNBC last year, saying “he’s never been disrespectful to me. I don’t condone men being derogatory, but I think he was just — he’s on television, he’s trying to be funny I don’t think that he meant anything horrible by it.”
Regardless, Roderick isn’t alone as a victim of Trump’s alleged boorish, and in some cases illegal, behaviour. More than a dozen women have accused Trump of sexual harassment or assault in recent weeks.
And Trump had his own words thrown at him when it was discovered that a microphone caught him bragging in 2005 of being able to grab women “by the p----” because he’s a celebrity.

Donald Trump will win the U.S. election, AI system says

Donald Trump will be the next leader of the free world, according to an artificial intelligence system that has accurately predicted the last three U.S. presidential elections.
The number-crunching AI, called MogIA, analyzes information from sites, such as YouTube, Google, Twitter and Facebook to calculate which way Americans are likely to vote.
Engagement online, including Twitter retweets, Facebook Live views and YouTube video searches, are all included in the equation - and
MogIA reports Trump is out to an impressive lead.
Not only is the Republican nominee beating Hillary Clinton in social media engagement numbers, he is even outpacing Barack Obama's 2008 historic peak campaign numbers - by 25%.
In the last three elections, the candidate who garnered the most engagement data ended up as president, MogIA's calculations showed.
The system's creator, Sanjiv Rai, admitted in a CNBC story, social media data isn't always accurate. Just because someone likes a Trump tweet doesn't mean they agree with him or will vote for him. But since its invention in 2004, Rai said the data cruncher is getting smarter and more accurate.
The system also predicted the outcomes of the most recent Republican and Democratic primaries.
"If Trump loses, it will defy the data trend for the first time in the last 12 years since Internet engagement began in full earnest," Rai wrote in a report, sent to the news station.
Rai also told CNBC Trump's negative feedback online isn't an indicator of how people will vote.
"In the primaries, there were immense amounts of negative conversations that happen with regards to Trump," Rai told the station. "However, when these conversations started picking up pace, in the final days, it meant a huge game opening for Trump and he won the Primaries with a good margin."
MogIA isn't the only positive news for the billionaire nominee.
On Friday, a Bloomberg poll had Trump ahead of Clinton by two points in Florida, and one from The Washington Post/ABC showed Clinton's overall lead narrowing from double digits to just 4%.
One person who will not be surprised by the new numbers is Trump himself, who joked to supporters at a Toledo, Ohio, rally on Thursday that the election was already over - and he was the winner.
"And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right?" Trump said, according to the New York Post. "What are we even having it for?”

Police seek Donald Trump supporter allegedly attacked while protecting his Hollywood star

Los Angeles police are looking for a Donald Trump supporter who was harassed and fell to the ground as she apparently protected the presidential candidate’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
A video uploaded to YouTube Thursday shows the woman displaying pro-Trump signs complaining about immigrants and President Barack Obama, The Los Angeles Times reported.
A man bumps against her, she pushes back and falls to the ground, staying there as the crowd jeers.
The video prompted angry calls to police asking why they didn’t intervene.
LAPD Officer Tony Im said Friday that the woman incited the crowd with racial slurs and police at the scene “kept the peace.”
He said police will look for the woman to interview her.
“We had a lot of people upset that we didn’t do anything,” Im said. “If she’s a victim, she has a right to come forward.”
Koali Fikator, who shot and posted the video, wrote on YouTube that the woman told the crowd to “let her be” when some offered help and that she eventually got up and made a new sign disparaging Mexicans and urging people to vote for Trump.
Trump attorney Michael Cohen tweeted Friday that he’s also looking for the woman, saying Trump “has a gift for her.”
A man with a sledgehammer destroyed Trump’s star Wednesday. It’s being repaired.
The man accused of destroying the star, Jamie Otis, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony vandalism and released on bail.
After Wednesday’s pre-dawn attack, he told Deadline Hollywood that he originally intended to remove the star. He said he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them. Trump has denied the groping allegations.

The fallout over Billy Bush’s crude comments on a leaked Access Hollywood tape continues – and this time it’s hitting close to home.
The New York Post’s Page Six reports Bush's wife of 18 years, Sydney Davis, is “furious about the tape,” which recorded a conversation Bush had with Donald Trump in 2005.
"It wasn’t just the… vile talk, it’s because he insisted the woman hug him and Trump. It was creepy,” an NBC insider tells Page Six. “She was so furious that she refused to speak with him for a while — and she’s still furious. They are having marriage problems. He didn’t apologize to her for the embarrassment he caused in his statement. And she hasn’t released a statement at all."
Bush has apologized for his role in the tape, which recorded Trump bragging about kissing and grabbing women without repercussions because of his fame. Bush was heard egging him on.
NBC fired Bush from his job on the Today Show after the tape went public.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — A New Hampshire high school teacher is in hot water after a video surfaced showing her in a classroom dressed as Donald Trump and dancing to a song that included an expletive.
Superintendent Stephen Zadravec tells the Portsmouth Herald that he can’t comment about specifics because it’s a personnel matter, but Portsmouth High School teacher Kara Kelley “is not presently in the classroom.”
Zadravec says there’s no place for offensive language in the school “nor is it our practice in school to support or discredit political candidates.”
The video was posted on some parents’ Facebook pages on Monday. Some commented that the teacher’s actions were “out of bounds” and “inappropriate.”
Kelley did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Miami Herald Makes DEVASTATING Donald Trump Announcement
Donald Trump: an unregistered sex offender.
The Miami Herald Editorial Board has officially endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for president.
They were quick to note this wasn’t about picking the lesser of two evils. They addressed that first and ended it with a strong insult for Republican presidential nominee alleged unregistered sex offender Donald Trump.
‘It is not about choosing between a bad candidate and a worse one. The narrative that Hillary Clinton is the lesser of two evils is patently wrong. Ms. Clinton is a pragmatic, tough-minded woman of accomplishment and political conviction with a demonstrated mastery of policy. She is politically flawed. However, Donald Trump is a damaged human being.’
Furthermore, they added that the election wasn’t about the common man vs. the elite, which is a common belief that has revolved around this election since the very beginning in the primaries.

Trump’s family fortune started in Canadian gold-rush *****house?

The man who could become president next week, Donald Trump, has family ties to the Canadian North. According to a recent article in Maclean’s, Trump’s grandfather opened the New Arctic Restaurant and Hotel during the Yukon gold rush, spending three profitable years in Bennett, B.C., and Whitehorse.
Fred Trump, who was born in 1869 in Kallstadt, Germany, opened the New Arctic in 1898, offering fresh oysters and “private rooms for ladies” – a reference to prostitution, although Donald Trump has told the New York Times that reports of prostitutes associated with his grandfather’s business are “totally false.”
In the book Trumps: Three Generations that Built an Empire, author Gwenda Blair unearthed a Yukon Sun letter that lauded the food of the New Arctic but warned “respectable ladies” to stay away from the hotel, saying “they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex.”
In February 1901, Fred Trump left Canada – it was good timing, since the gold rush was over – and returned to Europe, where he found a wife and then moved to New York.

You must have money on that old whorse. Dosn't look like she'll make the finish line to me.
Pat women on the fanny and tell them to get back into the kitchenDonald Trump Announces 2016 White House Bid
The 69-year-old Apprentice star vows to be the "greatest jobs President that God ever created".
Property mogul Donald Trump has officially announced his bid for the US presidency.
The flamboyant business magnate launched his campaign on Tuesday at a New York City skyscraper that bears his name.
"We need somebody who can take the brand of the United States and make it great again," Mr Trump said.
"I am officially running for President of the United States and we are going to make our country great again."
The 69-year-old Apprentice star is the 12th Republican to officially declare a candidacy for the party's nomination in 2016.
In an address that lasted nearly an hour, Mr Trump railed against politicians who he said are "all talk and no action".
"Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day and we as a country are getting weaker," he said.
"This is an election that will be based on competence. People are tired of being ripped off."
He vowed to combine his background as a businessman and his wealth to become the "greatest jobs President that God ever created".
Mr Trump also promised that if elected to the White House he would "repeal and replace the big lie Obamacare" and "build a great wall" on the US southern border.
"I will have Mexico pay for that wall," he added.
Mr Trump's bid for the Oval Office is a longshot according to most political pundits.

Some delusional right wingers believe Trump represents "Christian" values.
A true Christian says otherwise:
An Evangelical Makes Her Case For Clinton - POLITICO Magazine
Earlier this summer, Deborah Fikes, a former executive adviser of the World Evangelical Alliance, which represents some 600 million evangelical Christians in 129 countries, decided she needed to take a stand in the presidential race. Long before the hot-mic tape that would reveal Donald Trump’s propensity for groping women, Fikes determined the real estate mogul simply was unsuitable for the presidency. But the brief essay she wrote in the New York Times didn’t decry Trump’s extremely casual acquaintance with the Bible, his history of marital infidelity and his generally un-Christlike desire to always punch back twice as hard. She made a case that was almost unique among her fellow evangelicals: Hillary Clinton, she argued, was not the lesser of two evils but in actuality the more Christian candidate and therefore far more deserving of their support.
"Many well-intentioned evangelicals have been drawn to the Republican Party platform with the hope of making an impact on culture and voting their values," she wrote. But, “for the first time in my life, I feel compelled to reject my community’s unquestioned political alignment with the G.O.P. and challenge my fellow evangelicals to reconsider.”
