Trump never went to the island. Flew to Palm Beach once by himself on Epsteins plane. Then later banned him from Maralago. Gates and Clinton are the 2 biggest fish here. Both reportedly visited the island over 30 times...just for the pina coladas I'm sure.
What exactly are you claiming here? That Trump was totally oblivious to the stories being tossed around and only "borrowed" Epstein's plane? He had no idea what kind of man Epstein was, even though JE was a member at MAL for over a decade?
Where's a ROFLMAO emoji when you need it?
Numerous witnesses have said that Trump banned Epstein from MAL after Epstein harrassed the daughter of another member and that member complained to Trump. No one cited "moral outrage" on Trump's part, just his need to protect the "Trump brand" from scandal...That was in 2007, prior to that Epstein was a member of MAL in good standing...
It's amazing how you and others rail against the "sweetheart deal" offered to Hunter B over essentially victimless financial crimes... But nary a peep over the Republican lawyers who worked out the sweetheart deal for Epstein which allowed him to serve 13 months on work release. after he plead guilty to soliciting underrage girls in 2008, likely not even a year removed from being an MAL member...
And two of those lawyers who negotiated that deal were Ken Starr and a woman named Lilly Ann Sanchez... Here's some background...
"Sanchez was part of a quartet of lawyers that included
Ken Starr, author of the
Starr Report that led to the impeachment of former President
Bill Clinton, who defended Epstein against charges of the statutory rape of numerous underage high school girls.
Epstein ultimately pleaded guilty in 2008 to charges of soliciting and trafficking underage girls, serving just 13 months on work release in a private wing of a Palm Beach jail.
Eleven years later, in March 2019,
Sanchez and Starr co-wrote a letter to The New York Times defending Epstein’s light sentence. They contended the “number of young women involved in the investigation has been vastly exaggerated” and that Epstein’s time in prison and “enormous monetary settlements relying on his negotiated agreement” entitled him to “finality like every other defendant.”
Safeguarding minors from exposure to sexual content and topics has been part of DeSantis’ stated agenda as Governor.

Now climb down off your sanctimonious high horse where you (apparently) attempt to maintain that Epstein is a creature of the Dems...
