President Trump has tried to minimize his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Documents and interviews that The New York Times conducted with former Epstein employees, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with the two men reveal an intense and complicated relationship. trib.al/KUYR6U5

Every new Trump Epstein revelation is somehow both shocking and not a surprise at all.

Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford, said she was told to "dress sexy" for a 1994 Mar-a-Lago party when she was 14. Her mother recalled that waiters kept offering her daughter champagne, and that Marla Maples pulled her aside with a warning: "Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband."

14 is a bit long in the tooth for pedo 47.

Right because bad guys only do bad guy things on that one island. Off the island they're all good guys.

"Multiple models described being bused to Mar-a-Lago parties in the mid-to-late 1990s, often facilitated by Jason Binn, co-founder of Ocean Drive magazine. The events were open-bar, no one checked IDs, and young women " some as young as 14 " were given champagne. Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford, said she was told to "dress sexy" for a 1994 Mar-a-Lago party when she was 14."

@#3 ... Wait, I thought he was all over the Island. ...

Pres Trump (and others) may have been ~all over the island~ but not yet implicated with what has been released so far.

But the question remains, why is Pres Trump's DoJ so reluctant to release the Epstein files? (as directed by Congress?)

My view is ... I do not care who may be caught up in the Epstein sex-trafficking affair.

All those who are involved in the sex trafficking and sex exploits should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

For me, it is telling the victims of Epstein that Justice prevails over political boundaries.

@#7 ... In other words, Trump was fully exonerated by the New York Times ...

Two questions ...

1) fully exonerated of what?

2) if he has been fully exonerated, as your current alias seems to claim, what actions was he exonerated of? Asked differently, if your current alias seems to know he was fully exonerated, then surely it must also know what he was exonerated of.

thx.

Most of them simply collapsed; deflated like balloons at the approach of Trump. I believe this is because none of them were real people in the sense of having character, values, or beliefs. Trump could never have gotten as far as he did without their moral cowardice and apparently complete abdication of intellectual life.

The implication is that these people were always been conning us; always and forever. Their vapidity is who they sincerely are. Their aggravating, destructive shallowness is who they always have been.

These sorts of people aren't going away. The rest of us who do maintain some pride in ourselves as Americans need to be a lot more level-headed and discerning when choosing people to have power.

Donald Trump is going to die soon. He never was the Anti-Christ, although a passable imitation. The real Anti-Christ is still out there someplace, waiting for us to make the same mistakes we made with Trump. And that man will be young, fit, educated, competent, and obviously much more dangerous than our imaginations are yet ready to comprehend.

To put things in perspective:
There's a hundred times more expensive fraud happening in the White House.
A fraud that is also causing structural damage to the nation which will persist for decades.

What ICE is doing is bringing down GDP by about one percent.
Can you explain why you aren't pissed about that?

#43 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-12-20 11:09 AM

What happened in Minnesota has a price tag of $250M. ICE has a budget of $75B. ICE costs three hundred times more than the MN food stamp fraud.

If just one percent of ICE spending is fraud, waste, and abuse, that's three times the cost of the entire Minnesota fraud.

And if you don't think sending people to camps for weeks on end instead of simply putting them on the next flight out isn't fraud, waste, and abuse, you're too ignorant to have this conversation.

Why are YOU not pissed about Trumpy pardoning fraudsters and drug smugglers? Why are you not pissed about the destruction of our democratic institutions?

The fraudsters he pardoned owed Americans millions of dollars in restitution and were completely let off the hook.

In addition to clearing prison sentences for convicted fraudsters Trumpy's criminally negligent actions have erased millions of dollars in restitution payments to the victims.

That particular fraud case you refer to pales in comparison to Trumpy's lies and massive frauds perpetrated on the American People.

Tina Davis, who worked with Ford Models in the mid-1990s, told the outlet that her Ford booker told her to attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. She was 14 at the time, according to the outlet.
Her mother, Sandra Coleman, accompanied Davis to the event, the outlet reported. Coleman told the outlet that she ran into Maples during a trip to the bathroom. Coleman said that Maples told her, "Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband. Protect her," The New York Times reported.

You can stop staying that lie, Corky..

It is widely believed by some sources and alleged in certain reports and emails that Donald Trump was the individual who reported Jeffrey Epstein to the authorities in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2004, which initiated the legal investigations into Epstein's sexual abuse allegations

Michael Wolff's Account: According to author Michael Wolff, Trump himself reported Epstein to the police in 2004, an episode that remained in the shadows for years.

"The email from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell, where he referred to Donald Trump as "that dog that hasn't barked," was sent on April 2, 2011.

In the email, Epstein wrote: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned". Maxwell replied, "I have been thinking about that"

So explain why Epstein and Maxwell's 2011 email referred to Trump as "that dog who hasn't barked."

It's easy to see why you were passed over for promotion and forced to retire.

From the House Oversight Committee

In private correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein wrote in 2011 that Donald Trump, "spent hours at my house" with a victim of sex trafficking, referring to Trump as "dog that hasn't barked."
