- 🎙️ A comment made by Donald Trump on The Howard Stern Show in 2006 has resurfaced, where he discussed his age limit for women.
- 🎯 When asked about an age limit, Trump responded, "No, no, I have no age. I mean, I have an age. I don't want to be like Congressman Foley with, you know, 12 year olds."
- ⚠️ The speaker notes that Trump's specific mention of "12 year olds" is particularly concerning given recent revelations about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
- 📅 This resurfaced comment occurred in the same year that Congressman Mark Foley resigned due to involvement with underage boys and Epstein was first arrested.
Steven Cheung's Defense
- 🗣️ Donald Trump's communications director, Steven Cheung, reacted strongly to the Daily Beast's reporting on the comments.
- 😠 Cheung called the insinuation "disgusting" and "beyond the pale," accusing The Daily Beast of lacking morals and compassion and playing political games.
- 💥 The speaker criticizes Cheung's defense, arguing that reporting on relevant news is not playing political games and that the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein situation has harmed survivors.
- 📺 Cheung is characterized by the speaker as a "goblin" and compared to the cartoon character Hoggish Greedley, with criticism directed at his appearance and perceived character.
Media Reporting and Controversy
- 📰 The Daily Beast published a story highlighting Trump's 2006 comments, which the speaker asserts is factual and documented, not a conspiracy theory.
- ⚖️ The speaker argues that Cheung's accusations of disservice to survivors are misplaced, suggesting that Trump's administration's actions are more detrimental to victims.
- 🎤 The video concludes with a call for Cheung to cease commenting on politics and for the audience to subscribe to the channel.
