Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were indeed part of the same affluent social circles in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly in New York and Palm Beach, Florida. They were photographed together at events, and Trump flew on Epstein’s private plane at least seven times between 1993 and 1997, though flight logs do not indicate trips to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James. Trump also praised Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine interview, calling him a “terrific guy” who enjoyed the company of “beautiful women… on the younger side.”
Trump and Epstein had a falling out around 2004, primarily over a real estate dispute involving a Palm Beach property, Maison de l’Amitié. Some reports, including a 2020 book, suggest Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein allegedly harassed a member’s teenage daughter, though this was not widely corroborated. Additionally, a 2016 book by Roger Stone claims Trump cut ties upon learning of Epstein’s criminal behavior, with Stone quoting Trump saying he declined invitations to the island.
Trump’s comments post-2008, especially after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, distancing himself, stating he was “not a fan” and had not spoken to Epstein in years. There is no documented evidence Trump visited Little St. James or as it's commonly known "Epstein Island." If there were, you can almost bet your life's savings Trump's enemies would have released that information to the press.
