Trump was also associated with Epstein. Funny how you don't bring THAT up Tom.
Heard about it. Epstein was a member of Mar-a-Lago. Then he was kicked out by Trump.
Yes, he was kicked out. But, as always, there's more to the story than you just latching onto headlines you feel fit your narrative. From the NYT:
Jeffrey Epstein Was a ‘Terrific Guy,’ Donald Trump Once Said. Now He’s ‘Not a Fan.’The year was 1992 and the event was a “calendar girl” competition, something that George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who ran American Dream Enterprise, had organized at Mr. Trump’s request.
“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,” Mr. Houraney recalled in an interview on Monday. “At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him and Epstein.”
Mr. Houraney, who had just partnered with Mr. Trump to host events at his casinos, said he was surprised. “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s. You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”
In fact, that was the case, an indication of a yearslong friendship between the president and Mr. Epstein that some say ended only after a failed business arrangement between them. The full nature of their eventual falling out is not clear...
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Mr. 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.”
He also dismissed Mr. Houraney’s warning about his friend’s conduct.
“I said, ‘Look, Donald, I know Jeff really well, I can’t have him going after younger girls,’” Mr. Houraney remembers. “He said, ‘Look I’m putting my name on this. I wouldn’t put my name on it and have a scandal.’”
Mr. Houraney said he “pretty much had to ban Jeff from my events — Trump didn’t care about that.”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/politics/trump-epstein.htmlTrump and Epstein were pretty tight for some time. So tight that they would have a party for just the two of them and 28 young "calendar girls". Hmmmm.
And from one of your sources, The Grifters Club,
"Sarah Blaskey, a Miami Herald investigative reporter who co-wrote the book, told her newspaper in an article published Tuesday that according to another Mar-a-Lago member, Trump “kicked Epstein out after Epstein harassed the daughter of a member.”
“The way this person described it, such an act could irreparably harm the Trump brand, leaving Donald no choice but to remove Epstein,” Blaskey said."https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/04/trump-banned-jeffrey-epstein-from-mar-a-lago-for-hitting-on-girl.htmlAnd this from WaPo documents just how friendly the two were and how a real estate deal was probably the reason their relationship soured:
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein partied together. Then an oceanfront Palm Beach mansion came between them.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-and-jeffrey-epstein-partied-together-then-an-oceanfront-palm-beach-mansion-came-between-them/2019/07/31/79f1d98c-aca0-11e9-a0c9-6d2d7818f3da_story.htmlSo yeah, seems like it was more of an optics move to kick Epstein out of Trump's club, protecting the Trump brand, so to speak, more than anything else, and on the heels of a real estate feud between the two.
Seems that Trump is just as dirty as anyone else on one of your "lists". But funny how you defend him and him only.
