Epstein was never actually an official member at Mar-A-Lago. He was there throughout the 1990s and early 2000s because he was best friends with Trump. He never paid the initiation fee or member dues, so there was no official "kicking out." |
What the heck. He is on video saying this about a teenage girl. How Epstein “stole her” from his resort.

Today I feel like the Epstein Files and Trump Dementia threads have merged. He can't keep track of anything he's claimed about the past can't fake normal human moral behavior by saying the appropriate things. It's like he doesn't even recognize how crazy and damaging his own statements are. |
Either does all republicans. |
IIRC from an interview with Virginia G. she said she was a "towel girl" at MAL. Gislaine hired her to give Epstein massages, and they later sent her to massage school somewhere offshore. I do think masseurs are required to be licensed but that wasn't her job at MAL. Maxwell exploited cute girls from poor or broken or inattentive homes. The girls wanted the chance to earn easy money, travel, and brush elbows with rich and famous people. They somehow got passports for many of the girls and withheld them until the girls complied. The reality of being in another country without money or a passport must have been terrifying for many of them. Many of the girls didn't travel and just serviced Epstein at his Palm Beach home. Some of the girls recruited new girls from their high schools or from shopping malls. Epstein had sex many times a day in Palm Beach. This was from the early indictment through Alex Acosta's office. |
That was the story. But Trump came out yesterday and claimed he and Epstein fell out due to Epstein poaching MAL employees. It's on tape. Most attorneys and investigators know that the truth does not change, so one of the stories is a lie. |
He's having trouble keeping his lies straight. |
Yet the timeline quite clearly shows that Epstein was still at Mar-A-Lago and still being touted as a "terrific guy" by Trump for years after the "poaching" incident with Virginia Giuffre (and there were likely others). Maybe Trump was annoyed later on that Epstein cleaned out the younger and prettier ones, but the mere fact of Epstein poaching girls was never the core issue of their falling-out and the timeline reflects that. |
I could see getting upset when someone poaches your top salesman or raids your executives who have been with you for years, but a teenage massage therapist who isn’t even a certified massage therapist and she mostly took care of the towels and rooms, did a lot of prep work. She hadn’t graduated from high school yet. It’s like Epstein stealing the high schooler who empties the trash part-time on weekends. Very low value and easily replaced. They aren’t the type of jobs you end a fifteen year close friendship over. Trump lies and lies and lies.. |
Trump says Epstein “stole” teenage employees from him. When asked to clarify if Virginia Giuffre was one, he confirmed and said “he stole her.”
He said he never had “the privilege” of going to the island. He is so close to an (accidental) full-on confession. We just need to put a microphone on him and let him continue rambling. |
This exactly. In reality/normal situations, someone else manages the spa and Trump would barely even know those employees, especially teenage part-timers. Certainly would not end a close friendship over her. If 2 wealthy businessmen got in a huge fight over my teenage daughter working for them, I would be extremely alarmed. |
In his defense, telling massive lies to the entire world while suffering from dementia would be extremely challenging. He’s doing his best. |
Honestly, I think it’s because Guiffre was young and a virgin before Maxwell and Epstein trafficked her. If you followed the Katie Robert’s testimony, it sounded like he has a serious preference for those who were young and known to be virgins. It tracks with him being a germ phobe. |
He’s attempting to rewrite history. I also suspect Ghislane was coached last week on his story. Question is, will MAGA buy the lies this time? |
