Elon Musk has shared a video of Donald Trump partying with the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 1992. Footage from a NBC broadcast shows the future president and Mr Epstein surrounded by dancing women, with Mr Trump gesturing to one and mouthing “she’s hot”. Mr Musk shared the clip on Thursday (5 June), after claiming that the president has not made Epstein files public because he features in them. The world’s most powerful men are currently embroiled in a public feud after the SpaceX billionaire criticised Mr Trump’s signature tax bill. Mr Musk has called for the president’s impeachment, whilst Mr Trump has threatened to cancel all of the Tesla owner’s government contracts.

    Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s attack dog and had a reputation as the most vicious lawyers in New York. Cohn was the guy who taught Donny to make contracts with mid level businesses and then stiff them.

    Trump repaid these lessons by abandoning Cohn when he found out Cohn had AIDS

        Epstein said that he was D’s best friend for 10 years. Said he was charming and could sell anything. Then said he used that for evil as he trashed all his friends and wives in a pattern: build trust, draw people in, and pop a nasty betrayal.

        The recording is doing the rounds on social media again.

          Then said he used that for evil as he trashed all his friends and wives in a patty

          That would mean that Epstein had nothing on Trump. Would Trump betray Epstein’s friends if Epstein could destroy him?

        I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

        I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

          Courtesy of LLM:

          Could be the 2003 Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Not black & white though.

          It’s spoken by Captain Hector Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush) to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) during a tense moment on the island. The full exchange is:

          Barbossa: “You’re a cruel one, Jack Sparrow. You’ve doomed us all!”
          Jack Sparrow: “Not all of us.”
          (Elizabeth then shoots Barbossa with a pistol.)
          Barbossa: “I had to shoot you, darling. It’s nothing personal. You’re just the only person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

          Could be the 1940 pirate film “The Sea Hawk”, starring Errol Flynn and Claude Rains.

          In one scene, the villainous Captain Thorpe (played by Claude Rains) says to the protagonist, Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), something along the lines of:

          “I had to save you—you’re the only man I’ve ever met who’s as big a scoundrel as I am!”

          Another possibility is “Captain Blood” (1935), also starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, where rival pirates exchange similar banter.

          Other options are:

          • “The Black Swan” (1942) (with Tyrone Power)
          • “The Buccaneer” (1938) (with Fredric March)

      I don’t know any of these names but I bet this was a smart comment. I just know too little.
