Bold name for a business, but let’s see if they make it work.

What pisses me off is this; I was saying this during his campaign in 2016 after coming across the testimony of that girl he pinned down and raped when she was 13. People looked at me like I was a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Things like this shouldn't take 8-9 years to come to light to the general public. It should've been sprayed across every media outlet the moment he announced his run for presidency.

The Complete Trump-Epstein Timeline: Decades of Connections, Cover-ups, and Contradictions

TL;DR: Trump had a 15+ year friendship with Epstein, his DOJ was riddled with conflicts of interest, and when Epstein died in Trump's custody, he immediately blamed the Clintons while covering up his own deeper connections.

Part 1: The 15-Year Friendship (1987-2002)

1987: Trump and Epstein first meet. Became "nightlife musketeers" with Tom Barrack (Mercury News)

1992: NBC footage captures them partying at Mar-a-Lago with 28 cheerleaders. Trump whispers in Epstein's ear, points at women saying "She's hot"

1993-1997: Flight logs show Trump flew on Epstein's plane at least 7 times, including with Tiffany and Marla Maples

2002: Trump's infamous quote to New York Magazine (Washington Post):

> "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. 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."

Part 2: The Falling Out (2004-2008)

2004: Trump outbids Epstein for Palm Beach mansion. Two weeks later, police get first tip about Epstein (Washington Post)

Key fact: 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre was recruited at Mar-a-Lago while working as spa attendant. Her father was maintenance manager at Trump's club.

Part 3: Trump Administration Conflicts of Interest (2017-2021)

2017: Trump appoints Alexander Acosta as Labor Secretary - the same prosecutor who gave Epstein the sweetheart 2008 plea deal (CNBC)

2019: William Barr becomes AG despite massive conflicts: - Barr's father hired Epstein to teach at elite school despite zero credentials - Barr worked at Kirkland & Ellis, the firm that represented Epstein

The Recusal Flip-Flop: - July 8: Barr recuses himself - July 9: Reverses recusal after "consulting ethics officials"

Part 4: Epstein's Death & Trump's Hypocrisy (August 10, 2019)

6:30 AM: Epstein found dead in Trump's DOJ custody That evening: Trump promotes Clinton conspiracy theories

Official tweet timestamps from American Presidency Project: - 22:01:25: Retweets about Clinton's flights - 22:01:56: Just 31 seconds later, retweets: "Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH? Yeah right! #JefferyEpstein had information on Bill Clinton"

The conspiracy retweet got 70,642 retweets - massive amplification.

The Hypocrisy: While blaming Clinton, Trump ignored his own: - 15-year friendship with Epstein - 7 documented flights on Epstein's plane - 14 phone numbers in Epstein's book - The 2002 "younger women" quote

Part 5: The 2025 Cover-up

June 2024: Trump tells Fox News he'd declassify Epstein files, but Fox edited out his backtrack: "I guess I would... you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there"

February 2025: AG Pam Bondi claims Epstein "client list" is "sitting on my desk"

July 7, 2025: DOJ releases memo declaring: - Epstein died by suicide (case closed) - No "client list" exists - No further prosecutions

July 8, 2025: When asked about Epstein, Trump snaps: "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years... This creep"

The Evolution of Trump's Denials: 2002: "Terrific guy... likes beautiful women... on the younger side" 2019: "I was not a fan... haven't spoken in 15 years" 2025: "This creep... waste of time to discuss" The MAGA Rebellion

Trump's own supporters are furious about the cover-up. Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, and Tucker Carlson are turning on the administration for burying the case.

The Bottom Line

Trump had deeper documented connections to Epstein than Clinton ever did, yet spent years promoting conspiracy theories while his own administration covered up the case. The same DOJ that was supposed to investigate Epstein's death was run by people with direct conflicts of interest.

This represents one of the most hypocritical and suspicious handling of a major criminal case in presidential history.
