Immediate pick up at 9:05am was quoted as a range from $11 to $20 for a 5 minute drive. The same trip with a pickup at 9:20 was quoted as costing a range from $31 to $40.

At the risk of missing the point, I have to note that his first premise is untrue (shock horror!).
Apparently until quite recently the UK has been paying the US substantial annual compensation payments for giving up slavery. The slave owners and their descendants were compensated!
It doesn't make any difference whether any of the girls said no or not. Minors cannot give consent, by definition.
That said, many groomers can expertly create an illusion of choice and consent that elicits a "yes". Imagine the unnecessary guilt that induced later in some of the victims. Awful.

It is also nonsensical! The biggest armada in South American history? Is that a thing? And how can a collection of ships completely surround a nation with one coast on the North and no others? I can just imagine Trump and Hegseth having troops carry naval boats across mountain ranges etc.

The authentic version of his paternal family name is Drumpf, commonly recognised as an ancient German portmanteau of 'dropkicked lump'.
