It seems that Donald Trump’s big proof that he is being framed is a self-professed pimp with a long history of involvement in British s-x scandals.
“I have great proof, big proof…. It’s going to be the best proof ever…” so sayeth Donald Trump (or us mocking him).
Friday morning Mike Pence said that evidence would be provided “before the day is out” that the accusations of sexual assault made against running mate Donald Trump are false.
“Donald Trump has asserted that all of these recent unsubstantiated allegations are categorically false and I do believe him,” Pence told “CBS This Morning,” reiterating, “I do believe him.”
And bear in mind, that’s a heavy burden of proof considering the list of allegations against Trump spans every decade starting in the 1980s as catalogued by People Politics.
Before we get to the ‘big proof’ itself, here’s a little teaser from Mindy Fischer Writer’s page:
So Trump’s big “proof” that he didn’t assault the woman on the plane is guy who lives in another country…has a “photographic memory”….was 18 at the time he claims to have witnessed nothing….18 sitting in first class….and somehow he got a 30-something woman to confide in him about her marriage desires.
Oh and also he just happens to be a sleazy pedophile pimp who’s lied to the media before for attention…or something.
Yeah sounds totally legit.

Moving onward to this ‘big proof,’ the New York Post reported Friday evening that “Trump’s campaign says a British man is countering claims that the GOP presidential nominee groped a woman on a cross-country flight more than three decades ago.”
His proof? There isn’t any.
The Trump campaign forwarded a note by Anthony Gilberthorpe to the media; and, as the New York Post writes: “Gilberthorpe has no evidence to back up his claim — just his self-described excellent memory.”
Despite this lack of proof, Talking Points Memo reports that the “Trump campaign told the Post that Gilberthorpe’s experience in the first class cabin of an airliner in 1980 or 1981—Gilberthorpe couldn’t remember which—serves as proof that Trump did not grope Leeds. Gilberthorpe, 54, would have been 17 or 18 years old at the time.” And to make matters worse, The Guardian reports that the flight was a domestic one in the U.S.–not England where Gilberthorpe lives. [And, in all fairness, he could have been in the U.S. on vacation, but if so why has he not provided any proof?]
The New York Post articles goes on to report that “Gilberthorpe made headlines in 2014, when he went public with a claim that as a 17-year-old he procured boys (some who ‘could have been underage’) for s-x parties with high-ranking British politicians.”
The British periodical The Independent confirmed this claim, as did The Guardian and others.
BuzzFeed News weighed in the matter Friday, night reporting that:
“The Man Providing Trump’s Alibi Has A Long History In UK Political S-x Scandals”
According to BuzzFeed News:
The British man who has provided an alleged alibi for Donald Trump over allegations of sexual assault was previously involved in providing UK tabloid newspapers with secretly filmed footage of a politician having sex, ran a failed antiques business which was investigated by police after it went bankrupt, and was involved in a landmark libel case during the 1980s over claims he was “promiscuously homosexual.”
In addition, Anthony Gilberthorpe has also previously made a series of unsubstantiated claims that he provided underage male prostitutes for politicians at the Conservative party’s annual conferences.
Referring to a report in the U.K.’s The Daily Mail, Talking Points Memo reports that: “When Gilberthorpe came forward in 2014, most of the officials he accused of soliciting boys were already dead, and a former minister dismissed his claims, saying that Gilberthorpe had invented the story after his own political career failed to take off.”
Then, there’s the additional report by Talking Points Memo that:
Gilberthorpe was also the alleged tipster behind a sex scandal that led to the downfall of conservative British parliamentarian Piers Merchant’s career. Merchant, after he resigned, accused Gilberthorpe of setting up his affair with a 17-year-old hostess and leaking news of it to the Sunday Mirror, a British tabloid, in exchange for £25,000.
And if all that doesn’t leave you with the desire to go and bleach your brain – check out Trump’s alternate alibi – Mexico.
Yep, Mexico is out to destroy Trump’s political aspirations.
The Trump campaign promised further proof of his innocence; and, in a Friday speech, Trump alleged a Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim is behind the allegations published by The New York Times.
As NBC News reports, Trump told attendees at a Greensboro, North Carolina rally on Friday evening that: “The largest shareholder in The Times is Carlos Slim. Now Carlos Slim, as you know, comes from Mexico. He’s given many millions of dollars to the Clintons and their initiative. So Carlos Slim, largest donor of the paper, from Mexico.”
As NBC News reports in a separate article, Trump accused Slim of being part of a media smear campaign against him, telling the crowd that New York Times reporters are “not journalists, they’re corporate lobbyists for Carlos Slim and for Hillary Clinton.”
“These are lies being pushed by the media and the Clinton campaign to try to keep their grip. They are all false. They’re totally invented,” Trump said, adding: “We’re going to let foreign CEOs decide the outcome. We can’t let this happen, we’re not going to let this happen, where they decide the out come of our elections.”
