A 2006 audio clip of Donald Trump quipping about his dating “age limit” has resurfaced as the controversy around the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein reaches new heights.
When Stern asked Trump if he “could now be banging 24-year-olds,” Trump said he’d “have no problem.”
Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”
Trump fumbled a bit at the response.
“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.
Trump managed to bring in another sex scandal, referring to former Rep. Mark Foley, a Florida Republican who was forced to step down in 2006 after multiple incidents of sending lurid instant messages to young male congressional pages.
“I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds,” he said.
Trump made the crude comments after being egged on by Stern and Quivers, and it came back to bite him on X, as some people took Trump’s reference to Foley as him saying he wouldn’t go younger than 12 ― and not as a criticism of Foley’s actions.
Still, making creepy comments about young women isn’t exactly out of left field for Trump, who famously told Stern all sorts of cringy things related to young women, including his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
The 19-year-old Stern clip resurfaced days after the heads of the Department of Justice and FBI declared there was no client list nor evidence that Epstein, Trump’s old friend, was murdered in jail.
