Here's the Truth Behind the Scantily Clad 'Trump Honeys' Paid to Appear Outside His Campaign Rallies
PoliticsWASHINGTON, D.C. – It’s a very particular woman’s dream job offer: hawking Make American Great Again shirts and hats outside Trump rallies, “partial nudity” required. This week, a whole lot of people discovered an old ad from a Florida porn company, seeking “Trump Honeys” to sell presidential swag to the horniest of customers throughout the campaign season. Despite the considerable outrage the ads generated, the people behind Trump Honeys aren’t affiliated with Donald Trump. They just figured, correctly, that they could make a ton of money catering to his supporters.
The call for Trump Honeys was put out by a small adult entertainment casting company called Professional Talent Services, run by a woman named Cindy Tiegs. The original version of the ad asked for “motivated ladies” with a sincere love for Trump to send photos of themselves “in your #MAGA hat, Trump shirt, American flag themed swimsuit, etc.”
The internet was very upset, assuming that the Trump Honeys were perhaps affiliated with the campaign. That’s not right; Tiegs is just an independent business owner (although she’s also a fervent Trump supporter who goes by “Deplorable Cindy” online). She told Jezebel in a brief interview yesterday via Twitter DM that she exaggerated her Trump support slightly to move merch:
My ‘support’ for Trump is sincere, but I played it to the hilt to sell shirts and hats. ! Lol. I do support him, but I am not blind to issues, I am aware of his positions and I do not have any issues that trouble my conscience.
Tiegs cooked up the business with the backing of an investor named Peter Post, relying on the labor of women who’d been mulling over appearing in porn, but were still on the fence about appearing fully nude.
“She went back to those gals,” Post told Jezebel by phone yesterday. “And said, ‘Will you put on a tight Trump t-shirt, not wear a bra, stick ‘em out and work the line?’ There’d be thousands of people on the line,” waiting to get into Trump rallies.
