Of course it is.
But...
How does a spa founder warrant such access?
How did she get the Trump family to agree to be put up for sale in this manner, particularly when she’s marketing that access to foreign nationals?

We’re talking about the president of the United States here, not the guy who starred in some show that was popular five years ago.

Exactly like them.

Trump was all kinds of happy to have the Clintons at his last wedding.
Sleaze doesn’t differentiate by political party.

Exactly. We aren't talking a washed up ex-baseball or foosball player where you get the sig and the pic.

Just more hypocrisy from Trump or the guy is so nuts he doesn't have any idea what is going on half the time. Maybe Hannity could remind him what Pay to Play means.
Getting a selfie with the president is not pay to play. You're making assumptions driven by your hatred of Trump.

Aesop: "A man is known by the company he keeps." A Chinese madam and massage parlor owner? Add her to the list of sleaze. No surprise here. Heck even the first lady has nudes all over the internet. Real class.

That's irrelevant.

It doesn't make the Mother Jones article title any less a lie.

As I noted in the Epstein thread, I have no doubt that she still has a toe in, just like Trump does with the businesses his sons purportedly now control.

So, toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.
You have no doubt, yet you have no proof.

I'm neither a Trump supporter/voter, nor a Republican. It just bothers me that Mother Jones lied in the article title.

I don't know how CNN was playing this earlier, but in a story about this a few minutes ago the text on the screen that supports the current story correctly identified this woman as the ex-owner.

You have to wonder whether someone referred Kraft to this place. Interesting to also note that there have been rumors that there is someone even more famous than Bob Kraft that got caught up in this.

The left would impeach Trump for not eating enough vegetables.

She no longer owns the spa chain.

She sold her ownership interest a decade ago.

She's the founder, not the owner.
1–she said she sold the spa Kraft was caught in
2–she said “her family” still owns other spas
3–if she is in business with her family then she too owns spas
4–if she is a member of MarALago then she likely has the opportunity to see/approach Trump at times
He loves to press the flesh when he is there, especially when he dines on the terrace amid the other members

This is not really any differen than Kusher’s family selling deals to the Chinese so they can make money on their ability to get Chinese investors fast track on immigration and Trump-access...
Just not a family/relation to Trump
