    As Jon Stewart said, the biggest crime trump thinks epstein did was poaching his people, not that they were traficked and raped.

    “I told him, I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa. I don’t want him taking people. And he was fine. And then, not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, out of here,” he said, describing Epstein as having “stolen” his spa workers.

    Asked point blank if one of them was Giuffre, who died aged 41 by suicide earlier this year, he replied: “I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people.”

    “I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah, he stole her,” Trump added. “And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.”

      That’s because Trump thinks raping young women is a normal and unproblematic thing to do.

    “Epstein and I were certainly not friends! He stole one of my underage victims. . . Do you have any idea how much grooming it takes to persuade a child to fuck fat sweaty old men in a golf club bathroom? Without crying too much? Do you?! I did all that work, she belonged to me, he stole her. We fell out way before he put my name in his files.”

      America, from an American point of view, doesn’t care if the world is watching. Especially with a Republican admin.

      We have a pedophile in chief. We have failing institutions and infrastructure. Our economy is in shambles. People who WANT to work can not find work, at least not sufficient to survive off of.

      Third world shit hole indeed, welcome to America! Hopefully you don’t have a tan or you’re ending up in a foreign jail with no documentation.

    I also kept wondering who are all the staff that kept that pedo island going? From cooks to pilots, and I guess they came from trump and that makes sense. What I wanna know now is where are all those people now? This wasnt a one man operation

    “And by the way she had no complaints about us, as you know.” This sounds entirely like there were complaints but also, SHE WAS FUCKING UNDER AGE TRUMP! Come on dude?! Like shut the fuck up. It isn’t about complaints towards you it is genuinely about a guy, you knew, that you won’t release files on doing shit with your business and you told him to “quit” what did you do to protect your actual employees and these young women.

    It is just like, how the fuck is Trump not under investigation is it just shady as hell. If you are a federal agent reading this I just don’t know you can’t be ashamed of your country.

    Let’s pretend for a second that this actually happened, and Trump was actually upset about it. Where’s the lawsuit? Trump makes habitual use of the legal system for every grievance he has in the world.

    You cannot posses a person so you cannot steal a person.

    Its called kidnapping. Human trafficking.
