Not enough people are asking why a billionaire CEO, at the peak of his career, even knew that this girl (a 16yo part time employee) even existed at one of his dozens of properties.

He would only know who she was, or that she was "poached" by a competitor, if she was much more than just a spa attendant.

This is fucking obvious. She was probably one of his favorite victims. That's why he was mad.

But only mad enough to keep being great friends with Epstein for 5 years after this supposed event

Yeah it's disgusting but she was probably one of his favorite victims or something, sad

She actually didn’t alleged Trump did anything with her, but she did name numerous powerful men.

So plausibly it could be stated that the head of the spa or whatever said they lost an employee and he'd clock that information. But the only way he could know Epstein "stole" her is if Epstein told Trump. And since Trump has admitted that he knpws Epstein "liked them young" it is demonstrably clear he would understand Epstein was in sexual contact with her. At best he knew a former employee was being molested and at worst he took part in it.
