16. That whole Allred commentary is way off the mark.

These guys never broke off. We know how Trump is. He has eruptions. He can't control himself. He is bipolar. He can flip 180 degrees in a matter of minutes. How many times have we seen him brutally insult people like "Little Marco" or Mamdani.

Perhaps their relationship was stormy, but more than anything else, by 2010, Trump was becoming active on the political scene and Epstein was already convicted in Florida. Epstein got a sweetheart deal, and Trump figured he had better keep his distance because that sweetheart treatment might no last.

But most importantly, if Trump has nothing to hide, he would be selling out everyone in Epstein's trap.
