(23,811 posts)4. Trump's entire empire built on blackmail
It's all he knows, gaining leverage over people and hammering them over the head with it to get his way.
And Epstein and his operation with Trump appears to be the mother of all honeypots. I can imagine how it all worked, fancy dinner parties and business meetings, next thing you know all the important people are going to Mar a lago or Epstein's apartment and there are girls. Probably for most of the targets they think these girls are 18 or 19, they're probably told as much. Only to find out later the girl they just cheated on their wife with is 14. Rinse and repeat hundreds of times. And that's how Epstein became a billionaire and trump became president, they had all the right people at their illegal sex parties.

Sadly, I couldn't agree more. We, in the U.S., are in for a world of hurt in many ways, including financially.

Epstein didn't finish his college degree, but he was actually quite intelligent
