Recent
child sex trafficking charges against billionaire hedge fund manager
Jeffrey Epstein have re-ignited interest in him, as well as his
high-flying circle of friends.
Prominent
among them is current president Donald J. Trump.
When
asked about Epstein in a 2002 New York magazine article, Trump
said “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. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Is
your skin crawling yet?
Questioned about the newly-filed charges against Epstein, Trump
said “I don't know about it.” His attorney previously claimed in 2017 that
Trump “...had no relationship with Mr. Epstein and no knowledge
whatsoever of his conduct.”
Sounds
a little defensive to me.You? I mean, how else would Donald have known how much fun Jeffrey was to be with?
Cynics
like myself wouldn't normally question Trump's claim of ignorance,
given his general cluelessness about, well, nearly everything.
But doing the math on his uncensored comments about women, his
behavior and those winking comments about Epstein and you have
to wonder.
I
certainly hope this isn't the last we've heard about Donald J. Trump
and Jeffrey Epstein.
