Trumpedo knew....etc etc etc

So what, shrug.

Clinton left office in 2001, several years before Epstein's conviction.

Do you have proof their friendship ended at that point?

President Trump cut ties with Epstein in the year Oct 2007

“Oct. 2007: Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for his behavior toward a teenager

Some news reports say the pair’s falling out happened in late 2007.

Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein behaved inappropriately toward a club member’s teenage daughter, according to journalists from the Miami Herald and Wall Street Journal. The reporters included some information about Trump’s links to Epstein in their 2020 book, “The Grifter’s Club: Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Selling of the Presidency.”

A Mar-a-Lago member told the journalists that Trump had “kicked Epstein out after Epstein harassed the daughter of a member,” Sarah Blaskey of the Miami Herald reported. “The way this person described it, such an act could irreparably harm the Trump brand, leaving Donald no choice but to remove Epstein.”

The incident happened around October 2007, when Mar-a-Lago’s registry listed Epstein’s account as “closed,” the Miami Herald reported.

That’s about eight months before Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to state counts of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution from someone under 18 years old, and about one year after a Florida grand jury indicted Epstein on a single count of soliciting prostitution.”

“There is little public record of the two men interacting after that, The New York Times reported.”

pbs.org - The facts and timeline of trump and epsteins falling out

You're condoning child rape by supporting a man who was Epstein's closest friend for at least a decade, who knew exactly what Epstein was doing, and possibly participated right alongside Epstein.

You’re so engrossed with President Trump’s sex life you no longer know the difference between
your fantasies to convict him or what is or not true.

We say, anyone proven to have raped children belongs in prison.

You should be saying the same.


Well of course, as you said..’anyone proven’—-I’ll wait for that verdict and then voice my opinion.
I suggest you do the same.
