2002: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 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. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Trump was speaking about Jeffrey Epstein who has been charged with underage sex trafficking. The billionaire was previously accused of organizing sex parties which included girls as young as 13 years of age.

Today Trump is lying, making a very different type of statement. He claims he doesn’t know him well.

Let’s take a look at the men and one woman Trump chooses to “pal around” with.

The best known is Stormy Daniels. Trump had an affair with the porn star after his youngest son was born. Recently Trump invited Robert Kraft to a Treasury Department dinner and offered him the seat of honor next to the orange man himself. Kraft is the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and was recently charged with soliciting sex at a Florida massage parlor. Alex Acosta was a prosecutor in Florida when Epstein was previously tried. The most egregious charges were hidden from the trial and Epstein received a one-year sentence. Acosta is now the Secretary of Labor.

CNN reports that the dinner Kraft attended “was a formal meeting with the Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, a 39-year-old leader with two wives who rules over a wealthy nation that is a human rights nightmare. Migrant workers in Qatar are treated like slaves, homosexuality there is punishable by prison or even death, and women are second-class citizens, having fewer rights than men in everything from citizenship to marriage, to child custody, to divorce and physical safety.”

Most of the Christopher Steele dossier has been proven truthful, including the part about Trump’s involvement with two Russian prostitutes, during which time urination was involved. Donny admitted to being a sexual predator in the “Access Hollywood” tape, and has been accused by 22 women of sexual assault a la Bill Cosby. However, Trump is an old, maybe rich, white man and has been given a free pass.

Trump will never receive my respect or be my president. I expect more from anyone who claims to be the leader of my country.
