    Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

      But I thought he didn’t like the guy?! How will I square this information?!

      “I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I had a falling-out a long time ago, I’d say maybe 15 years,” Trump told reporters in the White House in 2019 soon after Epstein was taken into custody in New York. “I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you.”

      Trump supporters are incapable of critical thinking.

      a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs

      somehow this makes it more fucked up. like having this pristine attribute and clear headedness and still doing all the incredible evil and harm. mark of a true psychopath. you could maybe maybe make sense of it a tiny bit if it was like ‘oh he did lots of meth and cooked his brain’ but NO this fucking sicko was stone cold sober throughout all that shit. unreal.

          There was a Ghislaine Maxwell documentary where they interview the managers of the island house who are either in complete denial and/or being paid for their silence (sorry for the poor source but it’s late and I can’t find another with a clip, and it is otherwise just a summary of the interview). People like her and Epstein know to surround themselves with people who are easy to manipulate, so at least some staff didn’t need alcohol…
