Trump allowed the richest man in the world to condemn potentially millions of people to death. In a just world, this moral atrocity would follow all involved — Musk, DOGErs, Vought, Marco Rubio and Trump — like a trail of blood for the rest of their days.

It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls."
