Inside the Long Friendship Between Trump and Epstein

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘In the swirl of money and sun-tanned women that was their Palm Beach-and-Manhattan set, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein spent nearly 15 years mingling side-by-side as public friends.

There were lavish dinners with boldface names at Mr. Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side and raucous parties with cheerleaders and models at Mr. Trump’s private club and residence at Mar-a-Lago. In between, there were trips back and forth from Florida to New York on one of Mr. Epstein’s private jets.

But behind the tabloid glamour, questions have lingered about what Mr. Trump’s long association with Mr. Epstein says about his judgment and character, especially as his allies have stoked sinister claims about Mr. Epstein’s connections to Democrats. After their relationship ruptured, the disgraced financier ended up behind bars not just once, but two times, after being accused of engaging in sex with teenage girls.

One of the young women who later said Mr. Epstein groomed and abused her was recruited into his world while working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago. Another accuser recalled being eyed by Mr. Trump during a brief encounter in Mr. Epstein’s office, and claimed that Mr. Epstein had told Mr. Trump at the time that “she’s not for you.”

Another woman has said that Mr. Trump groped her when Mr. Epstein brought her to Trump Tower in Manhattan to meet him.’

There’s no question about Trump’s judgment and character – the former is poor, the latter doesn’t exist.

The Jew York Times is nothing but the equivalent of the National Inquire. Trump exiled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and had him jailed under his administration.

Was Trump the only one on the list or accused by "Another woman"?

Without the list, how would we know? Insist that all the evidence be released.

Rumor also has it that Trump had a personal villa on Epstein Island.

You keep trying to make this case, Clayton and nobody is buying the bullshit anymore. Trump and Epstein were running in the same social circles decades ago (look at the picture of Trump with Epstein...look at how young Trump was!) but when Trump found out what Epstein was doing with underage girls he had him banned from Mar A Lago and cut all ties with him. That's a fact and no matter how many times you attempt this smear...those facts aren't going to change!

oh no....konrad say it aint true....

Only after Epstein got famous and Trump needed to hide from that part of his past.

Epstein was a procurer. And thus, a hanger on with the sort of tabloid celebrities, sports figures, right wing talk radio and Fox types. Trump was a long standing and enthusiastic participant.

 

[DGS49]

What is the point? Seriously. President Trump is CURRENTLY performing as the best President of the past hundred years, at least. He will never run for public office again.

What is the point of bringing up these empty, ephemeral, non-specific slanders NOW?

Is it anything other than TDS?

I think not.

With all due respect, Tim? Trump did the right thing when others did not! When Trump found out that Epstein was sex trafficking young girls he banned him from Mar A Lago and didn't have anything to do with him from that point on. Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew on the other hand continued to associate with Epstein well after he'd been found guilty of sex trafficking. Your attempt to smear Trump is rather pathetic.

That's never even rose to be a rumor. Factually, Bill Clinton wore a blue dress and red high heels for a portrait.

I am sure you WISH this was true...but you know it is not.
On every level you KNOW Trump is just as guilty as Epstein ever was, you are only experiencing this cognitive dissonance because you really don't care and you know that's not right.

I recall seeing a video of Trump claiming that the mob pleads the fifth and then asking why any innocent person would do that:

What I find really really suspect about this video clip, is I made an attempt to find the entire deposition it was taken from.

It isn't anywhere, just this thirty second clip. . . why?

Israeli Intel Officer confirms Israel has copies of the Epstein blackmail videos​

7 days ago
Truth Justice ™ | ISRAEL HAS THE EPSTEIN BLACKMAIL:
"Ari Ben Menashe Jewish Israeli Intelligence Officer confirms Israel has copies of the Epstein blackmail videos. He says Trump declared the Epstein blackmail files a hoax in order to remove Netanyahu's power over America to bring peace in Gaza.
.
Ari Ben Menashe confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell worked for Israeli Intelligence running a child sex trafficking blackmail operation. He said he was not aware of Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell working for any other Intelligence agency, but Israel.
.
He confirms Israeli Intelligence along with Netanyahu have copies of the Epstein blackmail videos and files on American politicians and other powerful people in the world, they are not destroyed.
.
He went on to confirm that Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak were compromised, blackmailed by Epstein and this caused the Middle East peace deal between them at that time to fail because the Israeli government wanted war, not peace.
.
He says President Trump is doing the right thing by trying to take the power away from Netanyahu by saying there are no Epstein blackmail files, but this creates a problem and loose ends with Ghislaine Maxwell, because then why is she in prison if it was all a hoax? He also says there are the victim's testimony that are true such as Virginia Guiffre who testified against Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He is not sure how this is all going to play out, but Prince Andrew was also used to lure high profile clients.
.
He goes on to say that the Israeli people are upset with Netanyahu for allowing October 7th to happen. He has a daughter and three grandchildren who live in Israel and he wants peace in the Middle East. He said President Trump did the right thing bombing Iran's nuclear sites while not harming anyone, because this stopped Netanyahu's war in Iran.
.
Ari Ben Menashe is Jewish an Israeli citizen and he is ashamed of what Netanyahu and the Israeli government have been doing in Gaza, killing over 50,000 Palestinians, half women and children and 2,000 Israelis. President Trump is trying to bring peace in the Middle East and Netanyahu is fighting against him. He hopes President Trump can bring peace in the Middle East and win the Nobel Peace Prize.
.
Regardless of the outcome of this peace deal in the Middle East, the Epstein victims must get justice and all those involved in the blackmail and rape of children must be held accountable, there is no other way. No one is above the law and even though I want Peace in the Middle East, we cannot and will not bury these crimes."
