Jeffrey Epstein called Trump 'borderline insane' in scathing rant in newly released emails

Newly released emails have captured a scathing rant from Jeffrey Epstein where he calls his former friend Donald Trump 'borderline insane'.

The US president is no stranger to criticism, certainly in his two spells in the White House, with huge names such as Stephen King labelling him 'dangerous' in recent years.

You'd probably have to be close to insane yourself to not comprehend why Trump might have made some enemies during his time in politics, particularly when you consider his approach to immigration in the US, while his economic tariffs and medical announcements have also been hugely controversial and memorable moments during his second term.

But perhaps the biggest talking point during Trump's tenure has been the ongoing discussion of the Epstein files, which are still yet to be released in full. Although, it cannot be questioned that the two were at one time close friends, with pictures of the two alongside Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor plastered across Windsor Castle during the president's recent visit to the UK.

And now, after some content from the files was released on Wednesday, it saw the disgraced financier discussing his tainted relationship with Trump, where he even calls the republican 'borderline insane'.

Emails sent from Epstein's account revealed that he was still tracking Trump's movement after he became president, while a 2018 exchange with former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers also saw him criticise the politician.

He said: “trump – borderline insane. dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much” - with it assumed that he is discussing American lawyer Alan Dershowitz here.

Summers then asked: “Will trump crack into insanity?”

Epstein replied: “This is not a new phenomenon for him. in the past he was told not to come out of his apt. thats how he got through near personal bankruptcy. is strength is remarkable. he is pounded 24/7.

"I hope someone close to him gets indicted, but not sure, otherwise the pressure of the unknown will force him to do crazy things.”

The sex offender certainly didn't mince his words when talking about one of the world's most powerful men, also calling him 'nuts' in an email exchange with former New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr, after he sent an article which joked about Trump being close to a 'psychiatric breakdown'.

Epstein replied: "he feels alone, and is nuts !!! , I told everyone from day one. evil beyond belief mad, and most thought i was speaking metaphorically, its obvious he could crack. stormy daniels. ? lies after lies after lies.”

It's never good when a convicted child sex offender is calling you evil but it's clear from these latest emails that any relationship the two might have had was clearly soured in the years before Epstein eventually killed himself.

This will no doubt put even more pressure on attorney general Pam Bondi to release the files in their entirety.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said: “These emails prove literally nothing. Liberal outlets are desperately trying to use this Democrat distraction to talk about anything other than Democrats getting utterly defeated by President Trump in the shutdown fight.

"We won’t be distracted, and the entire Administration will continue fulfilling the promises the President was elected on, including Making America Affordable Again.”
