Before you knew Trump was in the Trump-Epstein files, you wanted to accuse anyone in those files of wrongdoing. You posted pictures of Democrats with Epstein. Insinuations. Now, you see Trump and Lutnik were palling around with Epstein long after it was known he was a creep. And Trump wasn't a creep too? He purchased Ms Teen USA at the same time he was palling around with Epstein and he went back stage while the teens were changing. TrumpSorry, it's up to you to prove it, dude. Not us.
You make a false accusation...prove it.
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Trump’s insight into Epstein’s predilections would be proved true in macabre fashion, when Epstein was found guilty in 2008 of sexually abusing girls aged between 14 and 17 years old. When Epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors, in 2019, Trump attempted to play down their relationship, insisting: “I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him.” Trump said the pair had fallen out years earlier, and claimed: “I was not a fan of his.”
Trump allegedly wrote Epstein a birthday card as part of a 50th birthday album organized by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003. The letter was fashioned in the shape of a woman’s body, and consisted of an imaginary dialogue between the two, the Journal said.
“Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?” it read, with Trump’s signature squiggled as it were pubic hair on the outline of the body.
The relationship soured in 2004, according to reports, after the pair became embroiled in a bidding war over a property in Palm Beach. In 2019, after Epstein was arrested, he said he had not spoken to Trump for 15 years. And despite his own close relationship with Epstein, Trump would go on to criticize others for the same thing, with Bill Clinton a particular source of deflection.
