He's firing out lies too fast for his little brain to keep straight.
So. Epstein "stole workers". Hmmm. Workers. What kind of workers? Not the immigrant maids and groundskeepers. Their visas don't allow them to change employers. The kitchen staff? Did Epstein's tastes run to greasy cheeseburgers, well done steak and chocolate cake?
"Workers" usually applies to lower level staff, not executives like chefs and managers. So who else would be classified as a "worker"?
Maybe a pool attendant?
USA TODAY mentioned one such 16 year old locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago whose name has become very well known in the UK.
"Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most outspoken victims who died by suicide in April, said Epstein's procurer and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her into Epstein's circle when she was a 16-year-old Mar-a-Lago locker room assistant."

“’Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s.’ That part is true. ‘He didn’t partake in any’ of — any sex with any of us but he flirted with me.’ It’s true that he didn’t partake in any sex with us, but it’s not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me,” Giuffre clarified later.

(50,607 posts)What I would like to know, if Trump knew that these underage women were being plied into a sex trade, did he have a duty to step in and stop it? Even if it was just out of a sense of morality? And, did he take advantage of any of the other young girls in Jeffrey’s stable?
Wiz Imp
(6,303 posts)It's very clear he did not do that. Trump knew what Epstein was doing and said nothing. That is arguably the worst thing he could be guilty of since many, many girls were likely victimized by Epstein which could have been prevented if Trump had spoke up and turned him in right away.
Here's the Florida statute:
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0000-
39.201 Required reports of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect, sexual abuse of a child, and juvenile sexual abuse; required reports of death; reports involving a child who has exhibited inappropriate sexual behavior.—
(1) MANDATORY REPORTING.—
(a)1. A person is required to report immediately to the central abuse hotline established in s. 39.101, in writing, through a call to the toll-free telephone number, or through electronic reporting, if he or she knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect, that any of the following has occurred:
a. Child abuse, abandonment, or neglect by a parent or caregiver, which includes, but is not limited to, when a child is abused, abandoned, or neglected by a parent, legal custodian, caregiver, or other person responsible for the child’s welfare or when a child is in need of supervision and care and has no parent, legal custodian, or responsible adult relative immediately known and available to provide such supervision and care.
b. Child abuse by an adult other than a parent, legal custodian, caregiver, or other person responsible for the child’s welfare. The central abuse hotline must immediately electronically transfer such reports to the appropriate county sheriff’s office.
2. Any person who knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect, that a child is the victim of sexual abuse or juvenile sexual abuse shall report such knowledge or suspicion to the central abuse hotline, including if the alleged incident involves a child who is in the custody of or under the protective supervision of the department.

Giuffre died by suicide at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on April 25, 2025, at the age of 41. Her father at first accepted the alleged cause of death as suicide, but on May 1 said he thought that "somebody got to her". Giuffre's Australia-based attorney Karrie Louden said she believed that Giuffre's death was not "suspicious in any way".

(166,353 posts)what IS Trump's guilt regarding Epstein? IT IS OBVIOUS HE IS HIDING SOMETHING, the man behaves like a cornered rat when the issue comes up.....do tell us what you think it might be
Wiz Imp
(6,303 posts)It's pretty clear that he knew what Epstein was doing with girls under 18 and yet Trump did nothing. That is arguably the worst thing he could be guilty of since many, many girls were likely victimized by Epstein which could have been prevented if Trump had spoke up and turned him in right away. So I definitely think that is one thing.
Beyond that, I really don't know. I wouldn't completely rule out Trump having raped teenage girls, but I think it's important to note that to this point only one person has ever accused him of that (and that accusation has many reasons to be skeptical of it) and no evidence has ever been presented. So it could be that, but if it is, it almost certainly would have been on a very small scale. No way could he have gotten away with anything like Epstein is known to have done without ever being accused.
Michael Wolff has hundreds of hours of taped conversations with Epstein which include some interesting accusations about Trump but nothing really incriminating. You can find an interesting interview with Wolff here:
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/07/20/the-wolff-epstein-tapes/
Another interview with Wolff where he says he interviewed Trump in 2021 but was prohibited from asking about Epstein.
https://yalereview.org/article/michael-wolff-donald-trump-epstein-files
This is from An official House of Representatives Document:
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU08/20250227/117951/HHRG-119-JU08-20250227-SD006-U6.pdf
There's lots of info embarrassing to Trump here:
wives. He would call the men into his Trump Tower office to ask them about their sex lives
and offer them sex with beauty pageant contestants, the pedophile said. He would do this
while the wives were—unknown to their husbands—listening on speakerphone, so that he
could then seduce the wives on the basis their husbands had betrayed them, Epstein
claimed.
The Epstein tape includes an allegation—which is impossible to verify—that Trump had an
affair with a politician while in the White House. Epstein offered no proof or sourcing for the
claim. He also alleged that Trump cheated on both his first wife Ivana and second wife Marla
Maples with “a Black girl.” At one section, Epstein used a Yiddish racial slur to refer to Black
women and alleged Trump boasted to him, “I’m f---ing all these Black women.”
The tape mixes sexual allegations with other aspects of Trump’s life. Early in the recording
Epstein is heard to say, “You probably know he had a scalp reduction. He’s getting the same
male pattern baldness that we all have. He had his scalp reduced. It’s hysterical.” Trump has
long refused to release full medical records while his White House medical reports did not
disclose any prior surgeries.
And Epstein offers his eyewitness account of Trump Tower and Trump’s office where, he
said, Trump had “fake honors” on the wall. Trump, he claimed, would yell at his personal
assistant Rhona Graff, “who’s a loyal, perfect, secretary,” as well as Matthew Calamari Snr.,
his bodyguard, and Michael Cohen, his attorney who is now an enemy. Epstein compared
Trump to “an emotionally challenged 9-year-old,” and said, “He screams and yells at Rhona
more than anybody else. His screaming is how he treats people. He has a tantrum, not a
temper. If you don’t understand him, it’s frightening. Once you understand him, it’s sort of silly.
Note Trump also claimed he “kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago” when he learned about the sex-trafficking
allegations. But notice he didn't claim he reported Epstein to the authorities. Epstein wasn't arrested for the first time until like 2 years after his falling out with Trump.

By doing that he probably enabled the rape of countless girls. The fact that many here are not expressing outrage by this in and of itself and seem more concerned with unknown and possibly imaginary crimes is crazy. Honestly, no matter what else Trump may be guilty of, I find it hard to believe it will be worse than enabling hundreds of child rapes. By enabling those child rapes he's just as guilty as if he committed them himself.
