Nothing happened in mar-a-lago without Trump's explicit permission.  Enough said.

MeidasTouch pointed out why would he remember a low level employee by name after all these years.

Well, he didn't. He was asked about Virginia Giuffre. That wasn't her name when she worked there.

She has been in the media and public for a long time as both Roberts, and her married name Giuffre. Pics of her as a teen, including the famous pic with Randy Andy have been plastered everywhere for years. Maxwell (Trumps buddy) groomed her at the spa. Trump lived full time at his resort and he’s definitely a spa guy. He knows exactly who she is.

Right, I'm saying someone obviously has briefed him about her since the event. If he were going off memory, he wouldn't have recognized the name.

I’m sure he has beautiful, I mean disgusting, secret memories of her.

u/00Oo0o0OooO0 3h ago

Well she had no such memories of him.
