So, how much of a “not fan” will he be when it turns out he might have partaken of Epstein’s services?

We will see more of Epstein-orama…otherwise Trump wouldn’t be backtracking.

Actually he might be telling the truth this time. There is a rumor that years ago Epstein was a member of Mar-a-Lago. He hit on the very young daughter of another very wealthy member. That member complained to Trump. Trump kicked Epstein out of the club and hasn’t been chummy with him since. This is just a rumor I heard. It needs to be checked out.

"Trump also said that “everybody else” in the criminal justice system would probably look back on their past decisions and “wish they maybe did it a different way.”

What an idiot. He really is making the case that the Epstein case has him pestered.

“I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn’t a fan.”

Translation- “He used to get coffee for us. Now the shit’s hit the fan.”

I wasn’t a fan of Epstein - I’m more a fan of young girls, young, blonde slender girls.

The president added.

Always a quote. Always a Tweet. Always an asshole.

So the pattern continues?

Before being President: (Trump not only knows them but pals around with them)

Once President: “Terrific guy/gal” (appoints to a position they are woefully unqualified for)

Once individual becomes the obvious problem they always were: “I don’t really know them”/“I’m not a fan”

Post individual is fired/resigns; “(grade school insulting nickname) was a disaster and I never liked them”

This pattern has been happening since the first resignation.

ETA: I know he’s talking about Epstein, not Acosta… but the pattern still fits.

Trump: “Jeffrey Epstein? Never met the man. Didn’t he used to manage The Beatles?”

The propaganda counterpunch is in full swing. Trump is claiming that he “had a falling out” with Epstein years ago, conveniently right around the time that the alleged crimes were taking place. Kellyanne was out in front of cameras repeating it. And the redhat propagadists are out in force in comments sections all over the internet asserting the same.

Get ready for this to become all about Epstein’s connections to Clinton and the Democrats, which is almost assuredly the next phase.

(And for the record, if Bill Clinton was involved in raping children, he should face the harshest consequences along with the other perpetrators. But it should not serve as a distraction from Trump’s involvement.)

The more vociferous he becomes about not associating with Epstein will be in direct proportion to the danger he perceives in being exposed as having taken advantage of Epstein’s service.

…says the guy who still insists the Central Park 5 were guilty. Despite their being exonerated by DNA evidence and the confession of the guy who actually committed the crime.
