SAN DIEGO — The recently released Epstein emails apparently indicate that Trump knew what was happening to the young women trafficked by Epstein even if he did not have sexual relations with them. He borrowed the latter alibi from Bill Clinton. Unable to dodge the proof of his awareness, Trump might admit his knowledge but mitigate it by explaining:
–“I never got involved with underage women because my doctor advised to refrain from sex due to my boner spurs.”
–“After being resisted by E. Jean Carroll, I realized the error of my ways and had sex only with my wives or well-compensated models and porn stars.”
–“I didn’t need to be titillated by Epstein’s younger women. I satisfied whatever carnal urges I had towards them by walking unannounced into the dressing rooms at the beauty pageants I sponsored.”
–“The Donald Trump mentioned in the emails refers to my son Donald Jr. I’ve ordered Pam Bondi to investigate and charge him with pedophilia after I check his will to see if it stipulates that I’ll inherit his money and assets.”
–“To show how strongly I feel about sexual trafficking, I plan to place a high tariff on it. I will also bomb any trucks or forms of transportation bringing women into the United States.”
–“These emails are a Democrat hoax. They were fabricated by Hunter Biden and transferred from his laptop to the Epstein estate’s server.”
–“Would I ever do such terrible things to women without their consent? My buddy Vlad will vouch for me.”
–“I’ll agree to release all the files to Congress when every representative and senator agrees to sign an NDA.”
