Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and socialite, had a peculiar affinity for discussing President Trump with those closest to him. A plethora of private emails and text messages, recently unearthed by the House Oversight Committee, reveal that Epstein frequently confided in his inner circle about his views on the president.
Steve Bannon, a close ally of Trump's during the 2016 presidential campaign, was one of Epstein's confidants. Their conversations often touched upon the president, with some text messages even disparaging Trump as the "worst negotiator in human history." It is unclear whether these remarks were meant to criticize or compliment Trump's business acumen.
Epstein and Bannon frequently discussed the Middle East, business deals, and how Epstein should portray himself in the media. However, their exchanges also revealed a deeper fascination with Trump, often touching on topics like Trump's finances, his impeachment attempts, and even his personal habits.
Michael Wolff, a journalist who has written extensively about Trump's presidency, was another key figure in Epstein's inner circle. The two men shared an obsession with women, girls, and models, according to Wolff. In an appearance on a podcast recently, Wolff claimed that he had discovered "a deep relationship" between Epstein and Trump.
Kathryn Ruemmler, a lawyer who worked closely with Epstein during his final years, also exchanged emails with him about his views on Trump. In one email, Epstein allegedly described how dirty Trump was, hinting at some sort of dirt or information that could be used against the president.
Meanwhile, Epstein's attorney, Kathryn Ruemmler, had a professional relationship with him when she worked at Latham & Watkins law firm. She later became a Goldman Sachs executive and was involved in a news article pitch to support Epstein's reputation effort, as per his own text messages.
Epstein's fixation on Trump is not surprising, given the financier's history of courting powerful figures and building relationships with influential people. However, it does raise questions about the nature of their friendship and whether there were any illicit activities involved.
Regardless, one thing is clear: Epstein and Trump had a peculiar bond that spanned many years. As the full extent of Epstein's dealings becomes clearer, it will be interesting to see how Trump's legacy is impacted by his association with the late financier.

I gotta say, this whole Epstein-Trump thing is crazy. Like, you're reading these emails and texts where they're basically having deep conversations about Trump's finances and personal life... it's wild. And it makes me wonder, was Epstein just a huge fan of Trump or was there something more to their friendship? 
I mean, we all know Epstein had connections with some heavy hitters in politics, but this stuff is like a whole different level.
And what's up with Ruemmler being both Epstein's lawyer and his future employer? Like, talk about a conflict of interest! 
. I mean, we already knew that Trump had a lot of connections and buddies, but to think about someone like Epstein, who was basically in the dark arts, chatting it up with him all the time? That's wild.

I don't know, man... it's all just so surreal right now. And what's up with Michael Wolff claiming a 'deep relationship' between Epstein and Trump? 
... it's like, what were they thinking? 
Like, did Epstein think Trump was for real when he said he was going to make America great again? 
And what's up with Bannon and Wolff being so obsessed with women and girls? It's like, dude, focus on the policy, not the pretty face 
Their friendship was like something out of a thriller novel - all those private emails and text messages that just got dug up 
It's all so juicy and intriguing 
I mean, can you imagine being one of those astronauts? The thought of being the first person to set foot on a new planet is just mind-blowing... anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Epstein and Trump. So weird that they had this weird connection going on. I guess it's like when you meet someone at a party and you're both like "oh, we have no idea what we're talking about"
