"Whether or not Trump ever engaged in illegal sexual activity with a minor around Epstein there is little doubt that Trump finds his years upon years of Bacchanalian debauchery with a notorious sex trafficker to be extremely embarrassing even for a man who can seem so shameless and wants to downplay it as much as possible. The most generous interpretation of Trumps actions in those years is that he noticed his friend the single hedonistic billionaire was always around girls who looked younger than XX but it never crossed his mind that something illegal could be going on"
