    ? We’re talking about a guy who has cheated on every wife he’s had. We’re talking about a guy who was convicted of falsifying records to cover up the fact that he was paying someone to keep quiet. We are talking about someone with probably countless sexual improprieties.

    Trump is actually pretty good at keeping his mouth shut. He’s just also good at bragging about himself and selling himself to rubes.

      There’s a video of him saying Epstein likes beautiful young women even more than he does, or somethinh like that.

        And it’s statements like that (and many more) which would make Epstein unwilling to take the risk.

        It’s not really about Trump; it’s about Epstein.

          I get what you’re saying, but I still wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was in the book… Sometimes people are dumb and filled with hubris.

          We can all agree that Trump was a “customer” (ew) of Epstein though right?

            Might have been getting services without paying formally, but rather Epstein was cozy with him as a networking opportunity. Probably just sampled the wares when in the company of Epstein, rather than calling to book appointments.

        Which is innocuous on its own, and only really carries new connotations since the revelations about Epstein.

      You’re focusing on the wrong guy. Do you think Epstein would’ve taken the risk?

        Supposedly part of the point of Epstein doing this was to trap other powerful people. Trump, while stupidly braggadocios, has a history of committing crimes and not confessing to them.

        He seems like a perfect target.
