but then I saw this eye-popping quote from “a source at Mar-a-Lago” in a story from 2007:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143503895#post7

Meanwhile, the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach last night confirmed a Web site report that Epstein has been banned there. “He would use the spa to try to procure girls. But one of them, a masseuse about 18 years old, he tried to get her to do things,” a source told us. “Her father found out about it and went absolutely ape-[bleep]. Epstein’s not allowed back.” Epstein denies he is banned from Mar-a-Lago and says, in fact, he was recently invited to an event there.

Basically the same exact story Trump just peddled, but using the word masseuse. Also using the very careful phrase “about 18 years old”, which sound a lot more legal than “underage”. We now know that Trump frequently called media outlets himself to get his version of a story out there. Very good odds this “source” was Trump himself.

Epstein consulted Trump about a big real estate deal. Trump double crossed him and bought the property for himself Marcuse Jul 30 #13

They were also both bidding on a mansion gab13by13 Jul 30 #26

Krasnov should know that you can always just stop bidding if the price is too high. JustABozoOnThisBus Jul 30 #34

Yes, exactly PatSeg Jul 30 #21

It was at least a 2-step process. Igel Jul 30 #30

So the real problem here is that Epstein stole employees from Trump. tanyev Jul 30 #3

Yes, that is the question that occurred to me as well PatSeg Jul 30 #22

Yep, even if a spa needed a few employees to replenish towels and other low-level things, tanyev Jul 30 #24

Definition of Trump, err I mean poach. twodogsbarking Jul 30 #11

In other words, Epstein stole some of "his" girls. Two pimps in competition. Martin68 Jul 30 #32

The reference "poach" infers the girls were, well, prey. Somewhat like admitting what you stated. twodogsbarking Jul 30 #36

I. O. W.s Trump was into sex trafficking too either as a partner with Epstein or running a separate business Botany Jul 30 #12

I think Trump is making a mistake emphasizing this aspect of the story. It suggests he had a beef with Epstein, which Martin68 Jul 30 #31
