Another reason why Trump wants the Epstein issue to go away.
Admittedly not because of the bad optics.
It's because of the constant vintage video footage of him with Epstein in the 90s. Not because of their association.
Because the videos capture Trump 30+ years ago. He looked younger, different. At least more handsome than he does now. Girls all around him.
Trump has an obsession about his looks (particularly his desire to look youthful): hair plugs, comb-over, mango facial foundation, dying his hair gold from tawny brown, etc. He is obtuse as you go, but he has eyesight. He hates being compared to his iconic younger version. If he can see the difference between then and now, so can the American public. And it's driving him crazy.

He's not "Fat Elvis" though. Even when the real Elvis was out of shape and in his 40s, he still had compelling talent.
Fat, old Chump is a disgusting man who knows (or suspects) how much of his own guilt is on display in those Epstein documents. Don't forget - part of Epstein's blackmail routine was making videos and still photos, most likely while the participants weren't paying attention. Those were saved on computer hard drives that the FBI grabbed the very day Epstein died. (There's a possibility that Ghislaine Maxwell also had copies of certain things.)
I never thought Chump was handsome even when he was starring in The Apprentice. He turned my stomach even then.
It's like the Trump-Epstein Administration.
