President Donald Trump again extended well-wishes to accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, apparently expressing sympathy for Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion.

“Her friend, or boyfriend, was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She’s now in jail,” Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan in a conversation that aired Monday night on HBO....

Trump flew on one of Epstein’s planes at least once, according to flight logs, while Clinton made several trips overseas on Epstein’s aircraft. Epstein was also a benefactor of the Clinton Foundation.

Epstein was reportedly a regular at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club,

I’m surprised that sites still use frames, they went out of favor over a decade ago. People got tired of getting stuck in a frame on one site and not being able to shake it off when they went to other sites.
It would be like - in this case - if you went to Yahoo, Google, Free Republic or wherever and MSN stayed at the top of everyplace you went! It was buggy.

"Epstein was reportedly a regular at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club,"

Until he found out Epstein was a creep, then Trump banned him.

Didn't see that in the article.

The headline and first sentence insert “sympathy” into Trump’s comments. His actual comments say he is not wishing ill on anybody.

“says that he closed down the economy”

and if he didn’t he would have been crucified by MSM. He had no choice, as it is they accuse him of a month of inaction causing the death of Americans. Sweden’s approach was the best one but no way Trump could do it.

Talk about the ultimate awful dilemma. Destroy the economy or be at least partly responsible for thousands of deaths. Full-on Kobayashi Maru situation. I think the President did the best he could, hoping for the best, taking the most optimistic things his advisers told him instead of the worst.

“Doubles down”? So they ask him a question more than once and are upset that he answers it the same way.

Trump - in his own words - at 4:15 of the interview - says that he closed down the economy...which is what I have been trying to tell people for 4 months.

Vote for Biden then.

Trump kicked Epstein out of the club. Epstein was a persona non grata!!

It seems the media forgets that fact.

Another lie by the media — wishing someone “well” when they face getting murdered in prison is not the same as offering “sympathy”.

I guess this means I can never use the phrase “may the Lord have mercy on his/her soul” - because that would mean that I am wishing them well.
