There was not as much animosity between Trump and Epstein as Trump has pretended. [View all]

In my opinion, Trump and Epstein have remained close thru-out the years.

In 2008, Epstein got a "special deal" from a prosecutor named Alexander Acosta. Human nature would tell us that Trump would not have been happy with that decision if he and Epstein were on the outs.

But, who does Trump hire as his Secretary of Labor after he claims the White House? The one and the same Alexander Acosta!

Was it just a coincidence that the Labor Dept is in charge of combatting human trafficking and Acosta tried to cut the program by 80%? https://www.thedailybeast.com/labor-secretary-alex-acosta-who-cut-deal-with-epstein-tried-to-slash-anti-trafficking-budget

Would Trump have hired the guy that was so close to Jeffrey Epstein, if he was no longer speaking to Epstein and did not consider him a friend?

There is a lot that does not add up with Mr Trump and Epstein.
