Which is what I think is 'more likely based on facts currently in evidence'. That's not the same as having made up my mind/knowing. Hell, I'd bet Trump was sniffing Ivanka's panties when she was 12, I mean I put absolutely NOTHING past the guy, please don't take me wrong on this!
However, he didn't brag about going into teens dressing rooms, and I've never heard he said '12 was his limit' to Stern, can you post a link to that? The rest is circumstantial stuff. And believe me, I've done PLENTY of digging, that's why I knew of that Vox article to link you to.
I think he's 'acting guilty' as well, but that to me does not indicate he r***d any children. He knows he was friends with the two of the known pedos, there's dozens of pics of them together, thus, he knows his association with him is a bad look. I also think it's VERY likely that there's ample evidence in the files that Trump knew what Epstein was up to, and not only didn't report him, but probably even expressed approval and/or admiration. THAT being released would be devastating to him. And I wouldn't be shocked at all if Epstein gave him vids of his naked, underage victims, also a crime.
In short, there's plenty of reasons he could want the whole story to 'go away' without his actually having 'partook'.
Or, maybe he molested some kids with his buddy. But the facts I mentioned previously remain. We have no real evidence of it, and in fact, we have an absence of it, because about 15 girls have some forward in some fashion, and none have ever accused him of jack. Not even Giuffre, who is the one victim who has put the finger on other perps apart from JE/GM, LOTS of them, plenty of them just as powerful as Trump at the time (her testimony to this effect was before IQ45 was nominated).
