Here is a reasonable timeline:
1999: Epstein's formalized child sex-trafficking efforts are believed to begin in earnest.
1999: A 16 year old Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the primary plaintiff in the Epstein case, is recruited by Epstein's partner Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago.
2002: Trump lauds Epstein on stage at an event specifically for his penchant for young women, saying “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
2004: Trump and Epstein have a falling out over a mansion foreclosure, during which they attempt to sabotage each others' bids.
November 2004: Two weeks after the mansion is sold, an anonymous tip is fielded about Epstein's criminal activities. It is suspected, but not known, that Trump is involved in this tip.
2005: Formal Criminal investigation into Epstein's activities begins.
2006: Palm Beach Police formally recommend charges against Epstein on 4 counts of unlawful sex with minors.
2007(???): Epstein is barred from Mar-a-Lago.
October 2007: NY Post first reports that Trump has barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
Trump allowed Epstein VIP status at Mar-a-Lago (he did not pay membership fees) when he knew he was involved in child sex trafficking that included recruiting of a 16 year-old girl at Mar-a-Lago seven years earlier.

After you. You've already lied in your title. You obviously lack the IQ to engage with me. Hitchens's razor, bitch.
