Another reason why Trump wants the Epstein issue to go away. [View all]

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.
