Epstein continues to explain everything about Trump
From Greenland to Minneapolis, it's all rooted in his predatory ways
So far, Trump hasn’t been accused of sexually assaulting any underage girls trafficked by Epstein. But there’s overwhelming evidence the president shared Epstein’s view that what makes one powerful is avoiding conflict with those who can truly challenge you, and instead preying on the young, the small and the disadvantaged. In a civil trial, journalist E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of using his physical size to overpower her during a sexual assault, a claim the jury found to be true. The common theme of the over two dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual abuse or harassment is of a man who only goes after those he believes can’t defend themselves because they’re asleep or cornered. Or, as was the case of the pageant contestants who said he leered at them in the dressing room, he literally owned the event. Reporting shows that Trump and Epstein shared an enthusiasm for creeping on teenage girls, exploiting their dreams to be models and bullying them into accepting unwanted sexual attention.
This pathetic stance of feeling strong by going after the vulnerable has permeated Trump’s behavior of the past few weeks, whether he’s consciously trying to distract from the Epstein files or not. “[H]e really does seem to think that might makes right — that if the U.S. has the power to take something, then that thing is rightfully ours,” Jill Filipovic wrote in her newsletter this week about Trump’s threats to Greenland. “This is the kind of antisocial, base world view that preschool teachers work diligently to counter: It’s nice to share with others and they should share back with us; no, William’s toy truck is not yours to take home simply because you are bigger.”
