It appears Donald Trump may have known about Epstein's predilections. Years ago in an interview with New York Magazine Trump said, "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
here is some background I posted back in february

Wow, I hope that he at least said that before Epstein was arrested. 😮
i'll just go ahead and say it now. those who will defend him have the same right to do so as those who defended Clinton. do the degree's of difference matter (if this is as true as the other)? wellllllllll, she was 13, you decide and own your choice.
It wouldn't matter if he hired a reincarnated Albert Einstein to run his campaign. Stubborn Sarah Trump wouldn't listen to any of his advice anyway because Trump is smarter than Einstein or anyone else. Trump listens to nobody but Trump. He has the greatest brain ever! HUGE!!!
Not to mention his "nice hands" as he called them, when Little Marco tried to accuse him of being short changed. 
His speech today was so uplifting. I encourage everyone to listen to it. If he continues to stay this focused than its over folks. Great speech.

Trump’s Attack on Clinton’s Character
Presumptive GOP nominee gets facts wrong on Benghazi, Middle East refugees, gifts from Brunei and more.
SUMMARY
Donald Trump’s once delayed, and much anticipated, speech on Hillary Clinton’s character, included numerous false and misleading statements:
Trump falsely claimed that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens “was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed.” Two emails from Clinton show that she was awake after it was learned that Stevens had died in the attack on the diplomatic facility in Benghazi.
Trump misleadingly claimed that Clinton “accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei when she was secretary of state.” He didn’t mention that the gift was accepted on behalf of the United States, and that it was transferred to the General Services Administration.
Trump claimed without any evidence that Clinton “wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to settle Middle Eastern refugees in the United States.” The numbers don’t add up. The total refugee budget was $1.67 billion in fiscal 2016, so it is unlikely that Clinton could add “hundreds of billions” to the budget for refugee assistance.
Trump overstated his case when he claimed the U.S. “trade deficit with China soared 40 percent during Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state.” It went up 17 percent, and we note that trade is under the purview of the Commerce Department, not the State Department.
Trump blamed Clinton for the “disastrous strategy of announcing our departure from Iraq, handing large parts of the country over to ISIS and the ISIS killers.” The departure date was set by President George W. Bush. President Obama made the ultimate call to keep the scheduled departure date, not Clinton.
Trump falsely claimed that Clinton would “end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create totally open borders for the United States.” Clinton supported a Senate immigration bill that would create a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally, but it also would have included large investments in border security.
Trump falsely claimed that the private server that Clinton used as secretary of state “was easily hacked by foreign governments.” Attempts were made to hack into Clinton’s server, but the identity of the hackers has not been determined and there has been no evidence to date that any of them were successful.
Trump falsely claimed that “Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia.” The transfer was approved by a committee headed by the Treasury Department and made up of nine voting members throughout government, including one from the State Department.
Trump claimed he was opposed to the Iraq war “before the war ever started.” There is no evidence of that.
Trump wrongly said that “real wages for our workers have not been raised for 18 years.” Average weekly earnings for production and non-supervisory employees are up 10 percent, adjusted for inflation and seasonal factors, over that time period.
Trump described the North American Free Trade Agreement as “Bill Clinton’s disastrous and totally disastrous NAFTA.” President Clinton signed the legislation to implement NAFTA, but the agreement itself was negotiated and signed by President George H. W. Bush.

Facts & truths seem to have a way of evading Trump. Amazing that he consistently beats the drum of calling Cruze and now HC liars. The various factchecks over time have shown Trump to be King Of The Hill on inaccuracy & fabrication.
Have never seen a candidate talk to his competition (Jeb, Marco, Cruze, & HC) like Trump does. Degrading, condescending, and labeling via nicknames seem a bit sophomorish for someone running for POTUS.
But what does one expect from the guy that referred to dating Ivanka if she wasn't his daughter? That's almost as good as the rest of his many zingers including his now repulsive statement about Megyn Kelly, "There was blood coming out of her whatever". Very becoming for a presidential candidate, but he's "Going to make America great again". What a dignified and classy guy Donald is.
You are right. But I don't see Trump as the problem. I can respect some Trump supporters who simply look past his ignorance because they believe the country needs toughness and a revived economy - whether Trump would actually deliver that is a whole different topic. But if someone told me they were supporting Trump for those reasons, and they simply ignore the circus sideshow b/c they see it as a necessary evil in the game of politics, I could respect that.
But I truly believe that an overwhelming majority of his voters are low-life, degenerate, dysfunctional, angry, hateful, ignorant people - the ones that come to his rally and threaten minorities. Those are the ones voting for the first time in their lives, simply because they hear someone be angry and ignorant, just like they are. And they tipped him to the nomination. The videos of these types of people are disturbing, and it has nothing to do with politics - they exist on all sides. But those videos are evidence of a broken society, broken homes, and a broken educational system. That should be a small percentage of any society, but it seems like there are enough of them in America to secure a nomination to a candidate such as Trump.
My priority moving forward is improving our educational system to make them the best in the world. Don't make all healthcare free, but quality mental health should be free and available everywhere with ease, or incorporated into our schools' curriculums. Peaceful homes and better education creates less crime, better health and therefore a better healthcare system free from the burden of treating lifestyle illnesses, better ideas, better choices, better leaders, etc.

What is that like a couple hours from Knoxville? I worked on a dairy farm in White Pine in 1977/78. Doesn't seem from the census figures that the guy really needs the billboard. lol

Maybe not quite 2 hours from Knoxville down US 411. It's in the extreme southeast corner of Tennessee, bordered by North Carolina and Georgia.
Trump is a huge, er I mean YUGE, foreign policy disaster just waiting to happen...
Donald Trump's Brexit Reaction Missed a Big — Yuge, Even — Detail About Scotland
GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump hailed Scotland for voting to leave the European Union on Friday morning after landing in the country to check on his golf resort in Turnberry.
In a tweet, Trump wrote he saw Scotland "going wild over the vote" when he landed. "They took their country back, just like we will take America back," Trump continued. "No games!"
But here's the thing: Scotland didn't vote to exit the EU.
In fact, the country voted widely in favor of remaining by 62% to 38%, though the United Kingdom as a whole decidedly voted to leave the union.
Trump then posted a statement on Facebook regarding the decision, noting, "I hope America is watching."
This sharply contradicts what he said just days before in an interview with Fox Business Network. "I don't think anybody should listen to me, because I haven't really focused on it very much," he said. "But my inclination would be to get out, because you know, just go it alone."
Meanwhile, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told an Edinburgh press conference that the decision to exit the EU means a second referendum for Scottish independence is "now on the table."
"As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against our will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable," Sturgeon said.
Trump will return from his one-day stint in Scotland on Saturday to continue his campaign's pivot to the general election.
Trump blames Obama for Brexit

so Trump says its Obama's fault and that it is a good thing. what an amazing mind.
An amazing mind indeed....
Trump’s Scottish trip is a bigger mistake than he realizes
By Steve Benen 06/23/16 08:45 AM
There’s a fair amount of precedent for presidential candidates traveling abroad ahead of the election. In July 2008, for example, then-Sen. Barack Obama wowed international audiences with a historic visit to Berlin. Almost exactly four years later, in July 2012, Mitt Romney took an overseas trip of his own. (It really didn’t go well for the Republican.)
So when Donald Trump’s campaign said the presumptive GOP nominee would travel to Scotland ahead of the Republican convention, it was only natural to assume Trump was headed abroad to bolster his foreign policy credentials.
But as the New York Times reported, the truth is a little more complicated...
His campaign is desperately short of cash. He has struggled to hire staff. Influential Republicans are demanding that he demonstrate he can run a serious general election campaign.
But, for reasons that emphasize just how unusual a candidate he is, Donald J. Trump is leaving the campaign trail on Thursday to travel to Scotland to promote a golf course his company purchased on the country’s southwestern coast.
This may sound like some sort of joke, but it’s quite real. This isn’t a situation in which an American presidential hopeful has scheduled meetings with foreign officials, and he’s checking in on his business interests while he’s there; it’s largely the opposite. Trump’s Scottish sojourn appears to have practically nothing to do with the office he’s seeking.
The Times report added that Trump’s business interests “still drive his behavior, and his schedule. He has planned two days in Scotland, with no meetings with government or political leaders scheduled.” The Republican’s itinerary “reads like a public relations junket crossed with a golf vacation,” complete with “a ceremonial ribbon cutting.”
Scott W. Reed, senior political strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, added, “Everyone knows this is the wrong thing for the nominee to be doing now, and it is amazing this can’t be stopped.”
Wait, it’s even more amazing than that.
If the Scottish golf course were a wildly successful venture, Trump could at least point to this as evidence of his prowess as an international businessman.
Indeed, Trump has made exactly such an effort. In a Scottish newspaper, he recently wrote an op-ed with a headline that read, “How Scotland will help me become president.” In the piece, the Republican candidate wrote, “When I first arrived on the scene in Aberdeen, the people of Scotland were testing me to see just how serious I was – just like the citizens in the United States have done about my race for the White House…. I had to win them over – I had to convince them that I meant business and that I had their best interests in mind. Well, Scotland has already been won – and so will the United States.”
The problem, as the Washington Post reported yesterday, is that the entire venture has been a bit of a disaster...
To many people in Scotland, his course here has been a failure. Over the past decade, Trump has battled with homeowners, elbowed his way through the planning process, shattered relationships with elected leaders and sued the Scottish government. On top of that, he has yet to fulfill the lofty promises he made.
Trump has also reported to Scottish authorities that he lost millions of dollars on the project – even as he claims on U.S. presidential disclosure forms that the course has been highly profitable.
In early May, Trump, in an entirely serious way, pointed to his role in the Miss Universe beauty pageant as evidence of his international experience. Unfortunately for the GOP candidate, his Scottish golf course is his other piece of evidence, and it’s a failure.
The replies to Trump's Brexit response tweet are hilarious, especially when you imagine them being said with a really thick Scottish accent.
A sampling...
Trump's roaring success (not) in yet another business venture - this one in Scotland. Another example of his hype & rhetoric detached from reality.

Pretty funny, but they sound like they were all written by the same person.
i can be a little dense sometimes so can someone help me out?
trump said that his new course has been open a few weeks and had been booked from dawn to dusk every day.
i for get what a round of golf there costs......lets say it was 250 pounds
trump also said more people would come because now it will be cheaper because the pound dropped in value.
if the course is booked for all available hours already
and the value of the pound dropped
how does this make more money for trump?

He loses a little on each round but he makes it up on volume.

Makes perfect sense to Trump though.
