Does It matter If Trump Had Sex With Girls?

[Ocelot II]

8. While just having known Epstein isn't *necessarily* evidence

that Trump indulged in the same heinous abuse of minors, and a lot of people knew Epstein in some capacity (Epstein was a social climber who sought out other wealthy, connected people), Trump's relationship with him seems to have been especially close. Epstein had a phone book containing hundreds of names; a reporter tried to call all of them, and it turned out that most were casual acquaintances, business contacts or various suppliers of routine services - nothing skeevy. But Trump had multiple phone numbers, seems to have hung out with or partied with Epstein pretty often, and they were neighbors in Palm Beach. Their relationship fell apart only after Trump screwed Epstein on a real estate deal. It's hard to believe Trump didn't know what Epstein was getting up to for more than 10 years, even if he wasn't also doing it. It's also hard to believe that Trump didn't have it on with girls/women that were supplied by Epstein - possibly underage. (And even if they weren't underage, wasn't Trump married during the entire time he was friends with Epstein? So he's an adulterous sleazebag at minimum - but we knew that.) In any event, how does anyone stay friends with someone who's doing what Epstein was doing. He had to have known.

Years ago, a friend and I got to be casual friends with a man who lived in her apartment building. He was charming, friendly, funny, entertaining to hang out with. So one winter he went on a vacation to Thailand for a few weeks. When he got back he regaled us with stories about the delightful young man he'd met and had a "relationship" with. From the photos it was obvious that the "young man" was just a kid, probably a rent boy who sold himself to American tourists. He didn't deny that the boy was underage but didn't seem to think it was a big deal because that's what went on over there. We were appalled, said so, and refused to have anything more to do with him. That's how you treat people who do shit like that - at a minimum.
