For years, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump built a tight-knit friendship on their shared hobby: hunting women for sport.

Despite Trump’s vehement denials of a meaningful connection to the deceased child sex trafficker, people around the pair of socialites were under the impression that Epstein and Trump were each other’s closest friends. A critical component to that friendship, reported The New York Times Thursday, was their mutual obsession with ensnaring, showcasing, and eventually bedding the most beautiful young women.

In order to ascertain the depth of their relationship, the Times spoke with more than 30 former Epstein employees, victims of the financier’s abuse, and their mutual acquaintances. The newspaper also uncovered new documents that shed additional light on Epstein and Trump’s extraordinarily private relationship.

What reporters discovered was evidence of an enduring friendship founded on power and sexual entitlement.

I remember where I was when I first heard this news break. I immediately thought… he’s toast. And then the gates of Hell opened.

15. That showed the world

just how awful many Americans are.

[flvegan]

3. Power, sexual entitlement and trafficking/raping children.

They forgot the last part it seems. Article makes it sound like a couple of "boys will be boys" skirt chasers to the highest asshole degree.

Seems they forgot about the other "currency" in female bodies, the child victims.

6. I find it hard to believe

That trump / epstein really broke off the 'friendship' over the stated reasons. Both are extremely avaricious. Both like teenage girls. What if they found a way to monetize their follies and make a business out of it.

9. "...Epstein and *rump's extraordinary private relationship and an enduring friendship..."

“Neither man drank or did drugs. They pursued women in a game of ego and dominance."

Yeah, not buying what this is selling.

18. Like Cheney's caged hunts.

Where’s the challenge in hunting something, someone in this case, who can’t defend themselves or run away?

19. Sexual empowerment is only half of this story

Yes, sexual entitlement explains why much about Trump's life. But it really is not the main story line here. It is a thread that ties together all the plot lines. We must not look at this as primarily a story of how powerful men feel they are entitled to sex. That is a "Dog bites man" story. Old as the hills.

To understand the Trump-Epstein partnership -- the enterprise that made both of them rich and powerful, we need to understand the other half of the story. Yes, rich, powerful men do often feel entitled to sex anywhere they can get it. And many of them think they are above the law and above public scrutiny. Robert Craft. Jim Bakkar. Jimmy Swaggert. Gary Hart. The list is endless

That is not news. The more important story is that Epstein and Trump realized, with Putin's help undoubtedly, that they could turn their own sexual obsessions into something much bigger and much more profitable. It became an international extortion ring, evidently entrapping people like Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, who knows?? That's why we need to see the actual files

What we do know is that Epstein received payments approaching a billion dollars. You don't make money like that simply by supplying young girls for exploitation. That is extortion money. That is money laundering money. The sex was simply the bait. And the sexual entitlement was the force of nature that brought the best marks to the bait voluntarily.

So please, let's stop talking about this as if the story was Trump raping young girls. That's not news and it isn't the main story.
