I mean clearly he didn't know the guy right? “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “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.”

It's not like they talked extensively about their relationship.... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/01/trump-jeffrey-epstein-tapes

Good thing we don't have multiple testimonies of Trump's proclivity for sexual misconduct... especially involving Epstein... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/25/trump-sexual-misconduct-allegations-timeline

At least there aren't claims he raped children!!! Oh wait this never got through the courts because the plaintiff was having their life threatened. You'd think Trump would want to clear his name but he didn't seem to think he could. https://www.courthousenews.com/rape-allegations-refiled-against-trump/

But he's never had a reputation as a predator OR a creep! Oh... "From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Trump's a storied pageant creep" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/

You're right. If I ignore all of the evidence to the contrary, there's clearly no relationship and Donald obviously can't be a pedophile rapist that was heavily involved in Epsteins schemes. It's why Trump clearly didn't have him killed. Just a "perfect storm of screw ups" with multiple hardware failures and zero witnesses to the death of one of the highest profile criminals at the time under the Trump DOJ watch. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein
