Why did he bring up the subject of the "island"? Nobody was talking about an "island"?
It was his way of telling Epstein what he didn't want him to talk about. It was the "code" that Michael Cohen spoke about in his Congressional hearing.
I have never been to the island", he said, in his comments about Epstein.
"I threw him out of Mar-a-Lago", he said.
What he was really saying was, "Don't tell anyone that I was on your island." If anyone asks, "Tell them
we had a parting of ways about 2002".
Left unsaid, "You may need a favor (like a pardon) and I am the only person that can do it for you, do you understand?"

(507 posts)If he thinks 'dangling' a pardon in front of Epstein is going to help much. Or maybe he's just dangling that so Epstein will keep his mouth shut for now. Or until Epstein talks to his Attorney's who let him know that IF he's pardoned, he'll HAVE to testify against 45. Nah, Epstein too smart to play games with 45. That, and he's got too much to blackmail 45. My GOP Dad showed me bot Facebook post about how Epstein has 'let it leak' that Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats need to worry. Told my GOP Dad that if anyone needs to worry, it would be the guy currently sleeping at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Took him a few to even determine that address. Gotta love how much history the GOP folks know...

Think about that for a minute. People who lived nearby in the US Virgin Islands called Epstein's property PEDOPHILE ISLAND.
Trump knows that. He's known that for a long, long time. THAT is why he preemptively denies having been to the island before anyone even really accused him of having done so.
By the way, Dumb Donald, most people think whatever you and Epstein did together probably happened in NYC and south FL, just so you know.
