Read this 2020 story by the Guardian and you'll understand why the focus on Epstein scares Trump so much. Trump is a sex predator with a history of appalling behavior toward teenage girls.
Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year

I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>
