I mean, it's obvious to anyone who looks that Trump has been crazy and capricious for decades, they had to know about his Epstein stuff (probably half of them are in those lists!). Trump never hid what he intended.

So now it's going to cost them so they don't like him? Boo frickin' hoo. Need to pull up those big boy pants and do what's right, but they won't. Too many promises of more tax breaks.
