Discussion: Trump Camp Offers Colorful Brit As Witness To Dispute Groping Claim

Well, I’m thoroughly convinced.

Countdown to connection between Gilberthorpe and Nigel Farage…

…30
…29
…28

And the Trump campaign won’t even care. To them truth and reality are malleable factors. Of course an 18-year-old Brit with a photographic memory sat across from Trump on that specific flight, and of course Gilberthorpe can vividly remember a stranger he met on a plane once over 30 years ago. Because they want it to be so.

So they get to briefly muddy the water before they move to the next lie.

Is there some record source that can identify if the 3 people involved were ever even on the same flight? I’ve heard there’s a way to get a list of all US flights you’ve ever been on. If so, it would be a simple matter to confirm if Gilberthorpe is even right about that.

#and here’s the link

Piers Merchant: In 1997, Merchant and his (17-year-old) mistress stayed at Gilberthorpe’s home, then were shocked to find Gilberthorpe bugged their bedroom and sold the pillow talk to the Sunday Mirror Link it forced Merchant’s resignation as an MP.

Piers and Farage were both UKIP members frequently at each others throat. Link

This took me two minutes to find. I’m sure investigative reporters will be able to find a closer link.

So, Trump’s response to a woman accusing him of groping her is to:

  1. Say “I don’t even know her.”

  2. Say “Here is a British boy pimp to say she was asking for it.”

…Seems like he maybe should have stopped at the first one…

So, this Gilberthorpe was a “boy procurer.” Is this how Trump knows him?

Just throwing it out there, because at this point, why not?

Suppose we give Trump the benefit of the doubt here. OK, we’ll pretend that we believe him, and that this incident never happened.

What about the other 347 similar incidents?

“He ‘procured’ boys, some of whom he said may have been underage, for sex parties.”

Looks like Trump found the perfect witness to generate sympathy…

For his victim.

(Is the amount of time Pence spends on his knees growing exponentially longer with each passing day?)

“Anthony Gilberthorpe” sounds like a name from a Dan Brown novel, where all the names make a feeble, immediately unsuccessful attempt to sound like real people’s names.

“Gilberthorpe further claimed Leeds was “trying too hard” to win Trump’s attention.”

Works for me. Leeds was a 40 year old nobody back then and Trump was famous - and younger.

But we can’t believe Gilberthorpe because it has to be true. And because … Hillary.

Anthony I certainly hope you got paid up front and the check cleared before you offered up your “proof.”

Gilberthorpe met all of those women, too (just once each) - none of it is true, he can vouch for it personally.

From the NYP’s article: “while Trump was wearing a suit and cuff-links, which he gave to his British flight companion.”

What are the odds that Gilberthorpe will produce said cuff-links, “proving” that he was “really there”?

Please tell me someone, somewhere, can get hold of the flight manifest.

Of course it does [eye roll]

So Gilberthorpe would have been 17-19 in the years in question. This is not the usual demographic for first-class cabins. Has he been asked just why he was in that first-class cabin? (And was it a domestic US flight?)

(Of course, I’m taking this way more seriously than it deserves.)
