Donald Trump expressed his disdain for Jeffrey Epstein, not for the financier’s exploitation of underage girls, but rather because Epstein poached staff from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, including Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre, who had worked at the Mar-a-Lago spa, was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to work for Epstein. This decision led Giuffre to a life of exploitation and abuse, which ultimately ended in her suicide. Giuffre’s tragic story serves as a reminder of the devastation caused by Epstein and his associates.

Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein have shed new light on his perspective of the scandal. When asked about his former friendship with Epstein, Trump claimed Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre, who was a Mar-a-Lago spa worker at the time. This statement, devoid of any empathy for Giuffre, who later became a key accuser of Epstein, reveals Trump’s view of her as property. Furthermore, Trump’s focus on the inconvenience caused by Epstein’s actions and his promotion of his resort’s spa highlights a lack of concern for the victims of Epstein’s crimes. Ultimately, Trump’s words minimize the severity of Epstein’s actions and instead, he seems more concerned with protecting his own image.
