‘Monsters know monsters’: Jeffrey Epstein said he has never met a person ‘as bad as Trump’ — called him ‘evil beyond belief’ in new emails

When a man synonymous with evil calls someone else “evil beyond belief,” the moral floor drops another ten feet. Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein reveal the truth about buddy Donald Trump, worthy of investigation.

The newest batch of Epstein emails has revealed a trio of blunt, opinionated emails about Trump. They almost read like dispatches from someone who’d stopped pretending Trump was just another powerful acquaintance. In his Feb. 2017 exchange with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Epstein wrote, “I’ve met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump.” He claimed that there’s “not one decent cell in his body.”

This was in response to Summers’ inquiry about Trump. “What does Ruemmler say re his attitude towards women?” he asked. Epstein didn’t budge or soften, but issued a character verdict. And he did it while Trump was sitting in the White House. By March 2018, the alarms got louder. Responding to journalist Landon Thomas Jr., Epstein wrote, “He feels alone, and is nuts!!!” The convicted criminal then claimed that he “told everyone from day one” that Trump is “evil beyond belief.”

“He feels alone, and is nuts!!! I told everyone from day one. Evil beyond belief, mad, and most thought I was speaking metaphorically. It’s obvious he could crack. Stormy Daniels? Lies after lies after lies.”

This was in reply to Thomas’ panic mail about Trump’s unpredictability. He asked whether Epstein could “jump in” and talk sense into him. But he simply claimed that the president was unstable, reckless, and capable of breaking the global economy. Then, five months later, former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler emailed Epstein about Trump’s hush-money scandal. Epstein fired back, saying,

“I know how dirty Donald is. My guess is that non-lawyer NY biz people have no idea what it means to have your fixer flip.”

The years of buddy time Trump and Epstein spent together strongly suggest that Epstein wasn’t just speculating about Trump’s behavior. He was speaking from experience. Epstein knew Trump socially, politically, financially, and socially. And he wrote these emails to people at the highest tiers of American power. Even if it was out of personal vendetta, what reasoning could he possibly have behind calling Trump “evil”?

Even though the White House is trying to bury these statements as “lies,” other emails tell a different story. One of them proves that Trump knew about the child sex trafficking going on at Epstein’s estate (via Forbes). Another clearly states that Trump had spent time with a victim at Maxwell’s house. All of these point to Trump’s involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities. If not, he at least knew about the sickening activities happening there, yet never reported them.

Online, the reaction has been volcanic. “Imagine how evil you have to be for a dude that ran a sex trafficking pedo island to call you a horrible person,” one user wrote. Another simply states, “Monsters know monsters.” While some argued about the weight of a criminal’s words, others took it for what it is. “If Jeffrey Epstein thinks you’re an evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.”

When Epstein, of all people, is the one questioning your morality, the bar for redemption is subterranean. One user joked, “That’s why he’s trying to get into heaven so bad.” There’s no question that Epstein was a monster. But monsters keep lists, observations, grudges, and receipts. These emails collapse years of denial from Trumpworld and paint a portrait that the president cannot spin away.

Because this one is not crafted by the media or his enemies. It’s presented by a man who understood darkness because he trafficked in it.
