Correct Epstein and Trump were Democrat Pedophiles back then.
President Donald Trump's friendship with financier and late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is well documented. But its rupture? Not so much. It ended in 2004. Or 2007. Or maybe some other time.
The timeline of the relationship's end is hard to parse — and varies depending on when Trump and his inner circle were asked.
Before Trump's presidency and Epstein's conviction as a sex offender, the two socialized at soirées with Victoria's Secret models, parties in Palm Beach, Florida, and trips between New York and Florida on Epstein's private jet.
Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 that the pair also shared an affinity for beautiful women, and Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy."
And then, a falling out.
In 2019, when Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, Trump told reporters he was "not a fan of his, that I can tell you. I was not a fan of his." He also said he hadn't spoken to Epstein in 15 years, which would have been 2004. LIE
Trump's relationship with Epstein has garnered renewed scrutiny after the Trump administration reversed course on its pledge to release its collection of investigative evidence related to Epstein.
Oct. 2007: Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for his behavior toward a teenager
Some news reports say the pair's falling out happened in late 2007.
Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein behaved inappropriately toward a club member's teenage daughter
"The way this person described it, such an act could irreparably harm the Trump brand, leaving Donald no choice but to remove Epstein."
The incident happened around October 2007
Yes Trump was a Democrat back then. Just listen to him back then:
Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,”
told Trump that he disagreed with Trump on Bush’s motives for
invading Iraq in 2003. “I disagree with you vehemently about George Bush, the younger, lying on purpose to get us into a war with Iraq,” O’Reilly said.
In the
Feb. 13 debate in South Carolina, debate moderator John Dickerson asked Trump about an
October 2008 interview in which Trump said it would have been a “wonderful thing” if Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi tried to impeach Bush because he lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Asked if he still believes that Bush should have been impeached, Trump called the Iraq war a “big fat mistake.” Pressed again for an answer, Trump went on to say, “They lied.”
For sure he was a Democrat in 2008. That was before a black man won the Presidency. That turned him into a Republican birther.
TRUMP: "Well, you know, when she first got in and was named speaker, I met her — and I'm very impressed by her. I think she's a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost — it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing."
AND then
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.
"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.
Asked about Hillary Clinton, Trump said: "I think she is going to go down at a minimum as a great senator. I think she is a great wife to a president."
