Some of you who aren’t on social media may not have heard about this since it’s getting zero coverage in the mainstream media. I suspect this is what the rumor everyone was talking about week or so ago was all about. In another time, it would be an earthquake but in this election I think they’ve decided that it’s just too much.
Jeffrey Epstein described himself as Donald Trump’s “closest friend” and claimed intimate knowledge of his proclivity for sex, including cuckolding his best friends, according to recordings obtained exclusively by the Daily Beast.
The convicted pedophile even boasted of his closeness to Trump and his now-wife Melania by claiming, “the first time he slept with her was on my plane,” which was dubbed the Lolita Express.
Epstein spoke at length about Trump with the author Michael Wolff in August 2017, two years before being found dead in his jail cell. Wolff was researching his bombshell bestseller Fire and Fury at the time.
The recordings cast more light on Trump’s long relationship with Epstein and will add to debate over the character of the Republican candidate, especially his attitudes and conduct towards women, just days before the election.
The tapes tell Epstein’s version of the relationship of two former friends and their very different paths–one towards infamy, prison and suicide–the other toward power, the Oval Office and his own criminal conviction for paying hush money to a porn star.
Trump’s camp referred to the tapes’ release as “false smears” and “election interference.”
The tapes also offer unusual insight into a friendship of two men frequently out on the town together and pursuing women, prowling New York and Atlantic City, using their wealth and power.
Epstein painted a complicated portrait of Trump. He called him “charming,” and “always fun,” capable of extraordinary salesmanship and suggested he was personally in favor of Trump’s policies on“the transgender stuff.” But he alleged Trump was a serial cheat in his marriages and loved to “f— the wives of his best friends.”
He also claimed that while Trump has friends, he was at heart a friendless man incapable of kindness. And he alleged that Trump had had scalp reduction surgery for baldness and called himself “The Trumpster.”
Asked by Wolff, “How do you know all this?” Epstein replied: “I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.”
Wolff shared the tape with the Daily Beast ahead of discussing it on his Fire and Fury podcast on Monday. Last Thursday he caused shockwaves by revealing a few seconds of a separate recording in which Epstein spoke in detail about the inner workings of the Trump administration. Wolff also said Thursday that the pedophile showed off photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap.
They think those pictures may have been confiscated by the FBI when they arrested Epstein. But they may still be out there…
You may wonder why Ghislaine Maxwell hasn’t blown the whistle on this since she’s in prison probably for the rest of her life. I have no idea. But I do know that if I had observed the way Jeffrey Epstein went out while he was held in prison (and holding out the possibility that he didn’t die by his own hand) I might not feel very safe in incarcertation if I said the wrong thing.
Wolff is not the best source on stories like thes except that he has all these tapes. If they are authenticated they should be pretty damning. But despite the fact that the right has been obsessed with Epstein for years on the assumption that his story would take down Democrats, there just don’t seem to be much interest in this story. Go figure.
Update — yikes:
He’s going to “protect” women…
