Trump liked to surround himself with arm candy that he could parade in public to the gratification of his ego - in other words, adult and legal, if young. He cares what other men think of him more than he cares about getting his rocks off with teenagers, though he certainly liked ogling the young models and beauty contest competitors he "managed." But what he likes more than anything is money. I'm convinced that his relationship with Epstein was not as a client but as a partner in Epstein's ventures in sex trafficking and the money laundering necessary to conceal it. Trump was a pimp, not a john. Where Trump is concerned, always follow the money.
