Trump: “Nobody, and I mean nobody. And I mean that, really I do. No one knows more about Jeff than I do. He and I go way back. Terrific guy, really. Tremendous. Huuuge guy, whatever that means. But I think you know, don’t you? Look, you have to have a real smart, you know what. But I get that. There’s not a lot of smart people running Jeffrey Epstein Island. But at least we have Jeff. He’s all about that. I’m all about that. Americans know everywhere what I want, what I’m all about. I was talking to Jeff’s property… uh, whatever her name is. I don’t know her name, I just grabbed her by the pussy and said, ‘Listen. Listen. You hear that? Exactly. That’s what I mean, that’s what the fake news won’t tell you.’ And she looks at me and says, ‘What?’. And I gotta tell you folks, for real. This is real. And this is what I’m all about. We have to vote the Dems out. Sleepy Joe. Bengazi. Something about Iran or whatever, I don’t really care. But the point is, I think I’ve made my point. And they said to me, something that always sticks in my heart, and I’ll the you the secret. We just have to vote Epstein out. Get the democrats out, and stand up for freedom and vote for Red this year in December. On December 4, make your thing count, you know what I mean? Sleepy Jeff Biden doesn’t know that, does he? It’s sad, really. And I mean that. Just terrible. Sad day in America to be an Epstein, but a great one. Tremendous, even.”
His base won’t care, but we should. Ever conversation about that shit stain should include “oh you mean that guy that flew to Epstein’s island a whole lot, and had his name obfuscated on flight logs to hide his identity because he knew what he was doing was illegal and wrong?”
Did a women (minor at the time) directly implicate Trump in rape on Epstein’s island? I’m forgetting which rape accusations were for Trump; there are so many.
“Barely knew him. He tried to talk to me, everyone tries to talk to me. I’m very popular at the parties, very famous. Maybe I met him, I meet a lot of people. A lot of people stay at my hotels and I talk with them, because they are the best hotels.”
Nobody ought to be surprised. Trump was publicly good friends with Epstein.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “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.”
Out of context and from another speaker I would interpret that statement as “I’ve had longstanding connections with this guy. Watch out, he’s a perv but to a degree that’s publicly tolerable. Watch out, he’s got a thing for young girls. All of that has to be tolerated because he’s socially connected.”
Given the speaker, though that between the lines reading may be giving too much credit.
Your hypothetical interpretation is as generous as you can reasonably be. Some people manage to sincerely believe “He had no idea” and it’s ridiculous.
You act like republicans think pedophelia is a sin
Again. EVERYTHING republicans accuse others of doing is projection. They lack any degree of empathy or shame so if there is something they do then Others are doing it but bad.
