BREAKING: The Guardian picked up the story on Trump’s deep ties with Epstein after my post went viral less than 24 hours ago.
American media has had this for weeks and stayed silent.
Once again, legacy outlets are failing us.
Recordings from 2017 reveal Epstein talking for ‘100 hours’ about Trump, per journalist Michael Wolff.

Recordings from 2017 reveal Epstein talking for ‘100 hours’ about Trump, per journalist Michael Wolff.
Trump’s Manipulative Tactics: Epstein described Trump’s strategy of pitting people against each other, often stirring conflicts among his team members and creating distrust to keep control.
Trump would insult or criticize his associates to others, playing on their insecurities and allegiances to maintain his power.

Epstein’s Insights into Trump: Epstein, who was once close to Trump, appeared to have a mixture of disdain and fascination with him. Epstein saw Trump as “vulgar” and somewhat “bush league” in comparison to his perception of class and status.
Yet, there was a certain shared ethos between them – they both saw themselves as embodiments of the 1980s’ “money, women, and power” culture.

Competitiveness Over Women: Both men, according to Epstein, were highly competitive with women, viewing them as status symbols.
Epstein relayed stories that suggested a level of competition over women, even sharing girlfriends at times, and at one point they joked about who might be the first to sleep with Princess Diana (which Epstein doubted ever happened).

Allegations of Disturbing Behavior: The transcript mentions various unsettling incidents, such as Trump reportedly making inappropriate advances toward a model introduced by Epstein.
There’s also mention of a time at a Trump beauty pageant held at Mar-a-Lago, where the only attendees were Epstein and Trump, an event that raises serious ethical questions.

Trump’s Financial Manipulations: Epstein claimed that Trump’s wealth was largely an illusion, made possible by ignoring liabilities and banking on debt forgiveness that didn’t appear in his tax returns.
This financial secrecy was a key component of Trump’s business dealings, as seen in Epstein’s suspicion around Trump’s real estate transactions and connections with Russian oligarchs.

Breakdown of Friendship: Their relationship allegedly soured after Trump outbid Epstein on a property in Palm Beach, which Epstein considered a personal betrayal.
The final falling-out coincided with the beginning of Epstein’s legal troubles, and Epstein reportedly believed that Trump had a hand in exposing his activities.

Photographic Evidence: Epstein allegedly had compromising photographs of Trump with young women at his Palm Beach estate, which he kept in a safe. These were reportedly seized in a raid by the FBI in 2019.
Fear of Trump: Epstein, despite his own influence, seemed to harbor a real fear of Trump, particularly as Trump’s political power grew. He saw Trump as unscrupulous and capable of anything, contributing to Epstein’s hesitancy to go public with certain information.
Connection to Bannon: Epstein was also reportedly introduced to Steve Bannon, who had previously worked with Trump. Bannon feared what Epstein might reveal about Trump’s past, particularly since Bannon was aware of Epstein’s extensive connections and inside knowledge.
Media Suppression: The transcript ends with frustrations over the mainstream media’s reluctance to cover the Epstein-Trump relationship, with Epstein’s associations with Trump being considered “too hot to handle” for large media outlets. Epstein’s connections and their implications were seemingly sidelined, raising questions about media complicity and selective coverage.
