Oh no! Trapped in my own web of lies! Hoisted by my own petard! I've been check-mated! I have dug a pit and have fallen in it! Whatever shall I do? How will I get out of this pickle?
Oh, wait, I've known about this shit since WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING and it's all super real. Phew! I avoid another deviously clever trap.
Here's Trump on Epstein in 2002, before Epstein's fall from grace. Trump says he's known him for 15 years; this is before their falling out.
He’s pals with a passel of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, CEOs like Leslie Wexner of the Limited, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, even Donal […]

Before their friendship ended, there are many photos of the men together and video footage of them attending a party with cheerleaders; Trump had many such parties. This is all mundane stuff that doesn't mean they were friends, just like Trump saying they are friends doesn't mean they are friends, but there's more!
Trump is listed as one of the dinner guests for service at Epstein's $75m mansion (with Zuckerberg and other NPCs) in 2003 by the same magazine. Recall this was all before Epstein's fall when it was okay to associate with him and it wasn't a hit piece.
What's the secret to a perfect dinner Party? (Rule No. 1: Don't invite Phil Spector.) It's all about the seating. Power hosts reveal to Deborah Schoeneman and Sarah Bernard their recipes for success--and disaster.

According to George Houraney, who has since had a falling out with Trump, he planned a VIP party for Epstein and Trump and 28 women. You can say he's lying for whatever reason so I won't bother to link, but why would you say Trump, Epstein, and Houraney are all agreeing to lie about this friendship? And various anonymous sources? And video? And photos? And journalists interviewing Trump and Epstein? Why do you disbelieve in something EVERYONE PRESENT agrees on at the time? So weird.
According to court testimony, Epstein says under oath that they were friends, and Trump took flights on Epstein's aircraft. Epstein's brother corroborates the testimony. Epstein's Palm Beach mansion was a couple miles from Mar-a-Largo, he was there often with Trump for various events over the years... this is all public record and undeniable. TWO of the victims of Epstein were Mar-A-Largo employees and said they were approached at the club. This is all before Trump ran for office.
According to Wolff, a journalist, Epstein claims they had a falling out over a real estate deal. Wolff may be making this all up; of course, at least he is naming a source, unlike the anonymous source cited in another book claiming Trump and Epstein had a falling out over his hitting on club member daughters. Maybe both are true... it really doesn't matter, as by BOTH accounts Trump had foreknowledge of what Epstein was, you see, and continued to associate with him.
Michael Wolff, who was close with both men in the early aughts, writes in Fire and Fury that Jeffrey Epstein was outed to authorities soon after he threatened to expose Trump as a financial fraud.

So, links of all the court testimony are available to you everywhere. On the official record alone, they've spent a lot of time together. BOTH Epstein AND Trump agree they are friends... other people that are in their social circle say they are friends... they undeniably have a connection far stronger than "shaking hands"... and both Trump and Epstein agree that Epstein likes the ladies on the younger side. What's the mystery?
Look, at least he's not touching some girl's nipple on video, so that's nice. This is the garbage we get for Presidents now, both are humiliating and embarrassing to me; hopefully, neither one of these turds will run for office in 2024.
Why do you find facts "insipid"?
I KID, I KID!!! If we could all be as zany and insightful as you! What a world that would be, full of puppies and rainbows and gumdrops!
