Bosom Buddies

Like all profligate liars, Donald Trump often simply pretends certain aspects of reality do not exist. Given that the internet is widely used to disprove many things he says, it's no surprise then that in the last few days he's made a number of claims about barely knowing billionaire pedofile Jeffrey Epstein, even though such assertions can easily be disproven online.

Some facts are so large, however, that they serve to underscore how staggeringly absurd his position is. Such is the revelation that came this week that Trump once hosted a party at his Mar-a-Lago resort for himself, Epstein, and 28 women (details here). No other men were present.

Does that sound like something you would do with a man you "barely know"?

Epstein may fall out of the headlines for a few weeks, but as his criminal proceedings unfold, he'll be back in the headlines. And the connections to Trump will once again circulate. And once again Trump will lie that he barely knows the man.
