55. The one thing I am sure he is guilty of is covering up for Epstein.

It's pretty clear that he knew what Epstein was doing with girls under 18 and yet Trump did nothing. That is arguably the worst thing he could be guilty of since many, many girls were likely victimized by Epstein which could have been prevented if Trump had spoke up and turned him in right away. So I definitely think that is one thing.

Beyond that, I really don't know. I wouldn't completely rule out Trump having raped teenage girls, but I think it's important to note that to this point only one person has ever accused him of that (and that accusation has many reasons to be skeptical of it) and no evidence has ever been presented. So it could be that, but if it is, it almost certainly would have been on a very small scale. No way could he have gotten away with anything like Epstein is known to have done without ever being accused.

Michael Wolff has hundreds of hours of taped conversations with Epstein which include some interesting accusations about Trump but nothing really incriminating. You can find an interesting interview with Wolff here:

Another interview with Wolff where he says he interviewed Trump in 2021 but was prohibited from asking about Epstein.

I know something about that. In 2021, I went to see Trump at Mar-a-Lago when I was writing my book Landslide [Wolff’s book about the 2020 election and its aftermath], and we had dinner together. We sat in the Mar-a-Lago lobby and talked forever. Well, he talked. But beforehand, his aides asked me what the rough topics were that I wanted to talk about. And I gave them half a dozen topics, among them Epstein. And they said that everything else was fine—January 6, whatever, whatever. But they said, very specifically, that if I brought Epstein up, he would cut short the interview. They didn’t say not to bring him up, but they recommended I not do that, because he would cut it short.


This is from An official House of Representatives Document:

There's lots of info embarrassing to Trump here:
Epstein also alleged that Trump had an elaborate scheme to procure sex with his friends’
wives. He would call the men into his Trump Tower office to ask them about their sex lives
and offer them sex with beauty pageant contestants, the pedophile said. He would do this
while the wives were—unknown to their husbands—listening on speakerphone, so that he
could then seduce the wives on the basis their husbands had betrayed them, Epstein
claimed.

The Epstein tape includes an allegation—which is impossible to verify—that Trump had an
affair with a politician while in the White House. Epstein offered no proof or sourcing for the
claim. He also alleged that Trump cheated on both his first wife Ivana and second wife Marla
Maples with “a Black girl.” At one section, Epstein used a Yiddish racial slur to refer to Black
women and alleged Trump boasted to him, “I’m f---ing all these Black women.”

The tape mixes sexual allegations with other aspects of Trump’s life. Early in the recording
Epstein is heard to say, “You probably know he had a scalp reduction. He’s getting the same
male pattern baldness that we all have. He had his scalp reduced. It’s hysterical.” Trump has
long refused to release full medical records while his White House medical reports did not
disclose any prior surgeries.

And Epstein offers his eyewitness account of Trump Tower and Trump’s office where, he
said, Trump had “fake honors” on the wall. Trump, he claimed, would yell at his personal
assistant Rhona Graff, “who’s a loyal, perfect, secretary,” as well as Matthew Calamari Snr.,
his bodyguard, and Michael Cohen, his attorney who is now an enemy. Epstein compared
Trump to “an emotionally challenged 9-year-old,” and said, “He screams and yells at Rhona
more than anybody else. His screaming is how he treats people. He has a tantrum, not a
temper. If you don’t understand him, it’s frightening. Once you understand him, it’s sort of silly.


Note Trump also claimed he “kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago” when he learned about the sex-trafficking
allegations. But notice he didn't claim he reported Epstein to the authorities. Epstein wasn't arrested for the first time until like 2 years after his falling out with Trump.
