The audio recordings published by American author Michael Wolff have brought the relationship between Donald Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein back into discussion. Epstein describes himself as Trump’s 'closest friend for 10 years' and claims to have very intimate knowledge of Trump’s private life.
American author Michael Wolff's published audio recordings have brought the relationship between Donald Trump and convicted billionaire Jeffrey Epstein back to the forefront of the agenda. In the recordings published by Daily Beast, Epstein makes extremely shocking claims about Trump.
In these recordings, Epstein describes himself as Donald Trump's "closest friend for 10 years" and claims to have very intimate information about Trump's private life. Among the most striking claims is that Trump has been consistently unfaithful in his marriages and enjoys having relationships with the wives of his close friends.
Epstein openly states that Trump does not recognize boundaries in his relationships with women, claiming that Trump "enjoys sleeping with the wives of his closest friends." These claims have reignited discussions about Trump's attitude towards women and his private life.
"The first relationship with Melania happened on my plane" claim
One of the most resonant parts of the audio recordings is Epstein's assertion that Trump's first sexual encounter with his current wife, Melania Trump, took place on his private jet. Referring to his plane, which is publicly known as the "Lolita Express," Epstein stated, "Trump was with Melania for the first time on my plane."
This claim is considered one of the most striking statements made about the Trump-Epstein relationship to date.
Epstein paints a contradictory portrait of Trump. While describing him as "attractive," "fun," and "having an extraordinary sales ability," he also claims that at his core, Trump is lonely, lacks the capacity for kindness, and cannot form emotional connections with people.
Despite being friends with Trump, Epstein argues that he is not truly attached to anyone and claims that Trump behaves opportunistically and selfishly in his personal relationships.
