You're going to hear terrible things said about you.
And so often, like we all know this happens to any of us in the public realm.
And I really can't stand when people whine about it as though they're uniquely victimized by it.
especially when they've made a choice to enter the public realm and and to to do that like there's benefits from having a public platform and that's one of the costs and just accept that and stop whining about it because it happens to everybody
Okay.
Is it actually breaking news that Donald Trump, in the 80s and 90s, as a young, good-looking, extremely rich Manhattan real estate developer, had a strong interest in women and even womanized?
We heard the...
Access Hollywood tape in 2016, people thought it was going to sabotage this campaign and it didn't.
Yes, Donald Trump had a very active sex life, a very strong interest in women, even when he was married.
This is kind of what I was talking about earlier.
And people have decided that this is not disqualifying.
And the other part of it is โ and this is something that I think is so important โ
The whole Jeffrey Epstein thing, and I have to say, in a way, the American right kind of made this monster and it's now sort of attacking them, where it became like every person who ever talked to Jeffrey Epstein, who ever met Jeffrey Epstein, somehow had suspicion on them that they were a pedophile or had an interest in underage girls.
A lot of the so-called victims, as you said, Michael Tracy has been really doing among the most courageous work on this because he's been fighting against the tide in this.
A lot of these women who claim to have been victims of sex trafficking or Epstein victims never met Jeffrey Epstein until they were like 22 or 23 or 24, not underage at all.
So he was also surrounded by a lot of women who were definitely young, but โ
Well, about the age of consent and all of this is being done now with innuendo by The New York Times and by the American left, just trying in any way to take some of this dirt from Jeffrey Epstein and throw as much of it as they can on Trump, which.
might be politically effective given everybody watched Trump fight so hard to conceal the files.
But until there's evidence that Trump actually had any kind of relationship with an underage girl, and there actually has never been anything remotely close to that, all this is is political activism disguised as journalism, which is everything that you read me from the New York Times, which I haven't read yet, but the parts that you read me are empty in terms of anything significant.
He wasn't.
