And what did you learn?

Trump famously told New York Magazine in 2002: "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Trump and Epstein were social acquaintances in Palm Beach and New York circles during the 1990s-early 2000s. They socialized together at Mar-a-Lago and other venues

  Interesting. It is my impression that almost everyone globally already knew this. What else did you learn?

      Its peak HN to whip out a LLM, instead of just reading a news paper article or two.

        Better not choose the wrong two.

      If you want to understand these people, watch the Daily Beast podcast "Inside Trump's Head" with Michael Wolff. It's a little slow but will paint the picture of their motivations, friendship, falling out, etc etc.

  Also apparently the two had Thanksgiving dinner together as recently as like 2021?

    Epstein died in 2019. People have suggested they had Thanksgiving dinner together in 2017 based on vague references in one of the emails, but Trump's presence at Mar a Lago is confirmed that day.

      Ah sorry, I was anchoring "beginning of first term" and misplaced that as 2020. Fuck how time flies! The "vague reference" is Epstein himself seeming to suggest he was having dinner with Trump. But you're right that there isn't direct corroborating evidence beyond Epstein saying so and their travel schedules aligning in South Florida over Thanksgiving.
