Why was Epstein comfortable with asking Trump to pedophile island?

Trump said he declined, but it was either that Epstein trusted Trump not to say anything about what he saw, or Epstein "cleaned up the scene." so nothing would be discovered.

It's a pretty interesting detail because it can't just be interpreted the way Trump probably wanted.

Hope Trump just keeps talking and never consults a lawyer.

So there is a list he is getting that from or not. Who is on the list? Who isn't? Is he leaking information or making shit up?

5. There is zero evidence Clinton was ever on the island.

Clinton did fly on Epstein's private jet on 4 occasions. On each of those occasions, Clinton was accompanied by his staff and Secret Service detail. It is not likely that Clinton, already burned by a sex scandal, would engage in more sexual shenanigans on a plane full of witnesses.

He is making shit up.

Our compliant mainstream media should issue prominent corrections of these lies, but they won't.

Any number that comes out of that anus-mouth should not be given any credibility whatsoever. This is the man who thinks he can reduce drug prices by 1500%

ETA: it's probably about even money whether or not TSF can count to 28.

3. Trump writes fiction and non fiction on the same subject

I declined an offer by epstein to go to his Island to have sex with young girls. But, the Epstein island and all the orgies was just a hoax made up by evil liberals trying to shame me. They’re failures. I have no shame. Lots of Big people from Florida were invited to the fake island and many of them went. Stop talking about the island.

Epstein was perhaps managing all the laundered Russian funds propping up Trump's properties. The island was a way for Epstein to show his appreciation to his clients and keep the funds circulating.
