30. Uncle Sam has protected Trump and BFF Epstein for a long time.

If they weren't, Epstein wouldn’t have been represented by Alan Dershowitz and chummed around with Lawrence “Goodbye Glass-Steagall” Summers.



To get to the constitutional expert’s fee level, the serial child sex criminal and Glorious Traitor’s best friend would need about $4 million. That is outside Trump's credit limit, so that's baseline for what it cost to get a sweetheart deal from US Attorney Alex Acosta and then-pretzeldent Baby Doc Bush.

The Epstein protection goes back to the time Pruneface Reagan, who gave Bill Barr his big break. Remember, Bill's father, Donald Barr, the headmaster of The Dalton School in Manhattan who hired college drop-out Jeffrey Epstein to teach the elite's children.

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

Barr must’ve seen something in that young man, otherwise there’s no logical rationale for the hire, besides tradecraft.



Epstein survivor: US version of royalty is ‘billionaire class’

by Sarah Davis
Politico, February 20, 2026

Annie Farmer, a survivor of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, called for the U.S. to go after billionaires connected to Epstein’s crimes after former Prince Andrew was arrested by British authorities on Thursday morning.

“In this country, it feels like our system prioritizes profit over all else, and so our version of royalty is really the billionaire class. … I’m just really hoping we can follow the U.K.’s lead and hold our own royal class, these billionaires, accountable,” Farmer told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday evening.

Farmer said she hoped the U.S. would follow the U.K.’s lead and prosecute billionaires involved in Epstein’s crimes. She and her sister, Maria Farmer, are both Epstein victims.

“It is complicated because what we’ve seen from the DOJ has left me with little faith that they will do the right thing,” Annie Farmer said. “That has not occurred, but I do think that public pressure means a lot, and I think if they continue to feel the pressure that I believe they are now, that they may be forced to act.”

Pruneface shakes with young Bill Barr. His dad, Donald Barr, hired college drop-out Jeffrey Epstein to teach at the Dalton School.


Pruneface shakes with young John Roberts. He and his co-conspirators have shredded the US Constitution and more on behalf of Epstein's best friend, Donald J Trump. Worst, yet, he has no plans to quit doing so any time soon.

The Honorable Coleman A. Young called Ronald Reagan, "Pruneface," after the Dick Tracey villain, back in the '70s.

The late Mayor of Detroit, a great Democrat, a union member, a Black US Army officer in World War II, absolutely pegged Reagan and his loves who haunt us in the present day.

For the record: Pruneface was a NAZI. And so are Trump and the two loves of Pruneface who keep Trump pee-resident.



Bottom Line: It's why they hate the Constitution of the United States of America: The rich continue to get richer off war without end -- until We the People show up.
