Jeffrey Epstein Was a ‘Terrific Guy,’ Donald Trump Once Said. Now He’s ‘Not a Fan.’ (Published 2019)
www.nytimes.com
So, a little digging reveals:
It was not actually Michael Wolff, but Annie Karni & Maggie Haberman who reported in a 2019 NYT piece that Epstein HIMSELF claimed to have made the Melanie/Donny intro.

Perhaps @anniekarni.bsky.social can clear up the matter.

I suspect theres a cultural milieu within DHS/CBP/ICE that’s informed by this movie the same way Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and Generation kill influenced my generation during the GWOT.

I’m reminded of how easy it might be for some 22 y/o to watch this movie and join CBP thinking that if they play their cards right they’re going to be an operator fighting cartels rather than kidnapping construction workers off of the street.

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.

Is this is the apex of the instrumentalization of the slur, “retarded”?
the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

We go through these lulls where the Trump admin is deeply incompetent or Trump is noticeably addled and I worry it overshadows the very real push from Miller et al to reconstruct this country as a corrupt, white, neo-confederacy though state-sanctioned violence. And how that push marches on.

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
