49. Trump was the boss
Mon Feb 16, 2026, 12:19 PM

Trump doesn't play second fiddle to anyone, nor does he partner. Epstein was the employee, doing Trump's dirty work, handlng the money, etc. Trump had neither the skills not the patience to do that. Epstein worked for him, and was happy to do side gigs for people like Putin, and took advantage of all that, as well as manipulated Trump to get control over others and get Trump to do what he wanted to do, since Trump is so easily manipulated.

But ... Trump was the head of the organization.

Sooner or later, that is going to become obvious to everyone.
