Trump’s story sounds an awful lot like a fake story that Epstein used to tell, according to Stuart Pivar, another old friend of Epstein’s who gave an interview to Mother Jones in 2019. “Jeffrey told me that he studied math at UCLA with the Unabomber, who was a math teacher,” Pivar said. This is also not true — Epstein didn’t go to UCLA and Kaczynski didn’t teach there. Trump no doubt has been thinking a lot about his 15 years of close friendship with the deceased sex offender. Some B.S. story he likely heard from his old friend bubbled into his brain, and he mixed it up with other B.S. stories he tells about his uncle.
