‘The mysterious Jeffrey’: Trump/Epstein suspicions skyrocket as his 2004 book praises his dear friend Jeffrey

Donald Trump is doing everything he possibly can to distract from the growing fury over his close links to the world’s most notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. We’ve known that the two were acquainted for years, although Trump has claimed that they were never friends and that he’d distanced himself from Epstein in the early 2000s.

Now it’s emerging that Trump and Epstein may have been far closer than he’s ever admitted, raising some deeply uncomfortable questions for his supporters. Each day it seems to get worse, with today bringing a batch of new photos showing Trump and Epstein together, combined with an extract from Trump’s 2004 book Trump: How to Get Rich, that’s somehow flown below the radar all this time.

The telling quote references a figure Trump dubs “the mysterious Jeffrey”:

“As mysterious as Jeffrey is, he’s one of the few people I know who can get by on just a first name. My staff never asks for a last name in his case, which in a way puts him up there with Elvis. Not that Elvis calls in much these days, but you never know.”

It’s not going to take Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out

As far as I can tell, there are no other prominent people with the first name “Jeffrey” who were associated with Trump around this time. So, let’s face it, this “mysterious Jeffrey” who apparently calls Trump’s office so frequently his staff are on first-name terms with him is almost certainly Jeffrey Epstein. Predictably, the White House is refusing to confirm one way or the other.

Trump’s close Epstein connections have to be one of the sickest political ironies of our time. His MAGA followers have been obsessed with exposing Democrat politicians and liberal celebrities as being associated with Epstein. Meanwhile, there’s concrete evidence of their idol grinning alongside Epstein, paper trails showing Trump flew on the Lolita Express, and a quote from Trump describing Epstein as a “terrific guy”.

I mean, I know cognitive dissonance is a thing, but MAGA wilfully ignoring the ever-growing mountain of hard evidence that their idol was wrapped up in Epstein’s web of abuse is one for the ages.

Perhaps they might even have believed Trump’s excuses and distractions, were it not for his dismissing MAGA as stupid weaklings. Either way, this story isn’t going away, and all indications are that there’s something extraordinarily damaging to Trump in those Epstein files. I can’t wait to find out what it is.
