"I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down," Trump told reporters during a trip to Scotland.

"In one of my very good moments, I turned it down."

"I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down"

Oh, goody, another Trump denial.
Okay, let's play:
So when did he go?

How many years were Epstein and Trump very close? Ten?

That's the number of times Trump went ot Epsteinn's island.

Minimum.

Republicans have an opportunity to move this needle - yet, they remain silent.

The wrong side of history suits them.

What about the painting of Trump in the blue dress?

First, I know you think your being cute with the Clinton reference. I think most liberals agree, if Clinton did anything nefarious through Epstein, he should be prosecuted like anyone else.

Second, the blue dress references Monica Lewinsky. Lewinsky was a consenting adult at the time. While his relationship with her was probably unethical, there was nothing illegal about it.

Your stupid little deflection is noted, moron.

"if Clinton did anything nefarious through Epstein"

All he did was fuck some teenage girls, which the Trumpers are already explaining to you is really not that big a deal.

The Clintons, whose names are in the Epstein Files, have said long ago: Release the files; let the chips fall where they may.

@#13 ... The Clintons, whose names are in the Epstein Files, have said long ago: Release the files; let the chips fall where they may. ...

A lawyer for the victims in this case have also said that his clients want all the files to be released, with the victims' names redacted.

"Well if Trump said it, it must be true" ... . said no thinking or rational person ever.

MAGAts don't give a rip about Epstein's victims. It's abundantly clear.

Trump says he Turned Down Invitation to Epstein's Island

I'm sure, of the hundreds of times he was invited to attended, Trump turned the offer down every so often.

... saying he turned down an invitation ...

Another question...

When did Pres Trump "turn down an invitation" from Mr Epstein, and how does that fit into the timeline of his friendship with Mr Epstein?
