"Best friends forever"?
Trump doesn't have friends. His relationships are strictly transactional. So the obvious question is - what were the nature of the transactions he so cherished Epstein for? What was it that the sex trafficer traded in that Trump made such an investment to receive?

Please note that Trump will NOT be seeking his usual retribution for this "disloyalty." The one free "no" vote was gifted to Collins to support her reelection bid next year. She is indebted now for that and eager to please.

Who pays the tariffs? Small family-owned businesses like this. There's a time-lag between orders and delivery. How would you like to have to come up with an extra $200k to cover this cost?
