Epstein was a major fundraiser for the Democratic party. Trump is the head of the Republican party. And it's a two party system.

But but but they're closer to not being overwhelmingly evil! They'll defund ICE once they've got a supermajority in the house and senate, the presidency, and patiently wait for the Supreme Court to die.

"America! Take a good look at your beloved candidates! They're nothing but hideous ~~space reptiles~~ pedophiles!"

"It's true, we are ~~aliens~~ pedophiles, but what are you going to do about it? It's a two-party system."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_Bill_Clinton_and_Jeffrey_Epstein

Epstein's interactions with Clinton can be traced to the early 1990s. After donating $1,000 to Bill Clinton's presidential election campaign in 1991, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association in 1993 and, accompanied by Maxwell, attended a donors' reception hosted by President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton.

...

Clinton and Epstein appeared to be on friendly terms; a photo from 2002 shows them together during a stop in Brunei, and in an interview that year Clinton praised Epstein as a "highly successful financier" and "a committed philanthropist".

...

According to one of his lawyers, Epstein was "part of the original group" that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, a flagship program of Clinton's philanthropic work. This relationship extended to Maxwell as well – she and Epstein were invited guests at events early in the Clinton Foundation era, and Maxwell was noted as the likely social "glue" connecting Epstein to Clinton's world.

Oh, that's not at all what you implied.
