Yeah, I've read that quote. At the very least Trump was expressing admiration for this now convicted rich pedophile BECAUSE of the underaged girls he had around him.

Republicans claim some sort of equivalence because Bill Clinton is known to have ridden on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane. But so did lots of people. Epstein was a major party guy, inviting lots of people to his house, ride on his plane, etc. Doesn't mean they knew anything about his sexual perversion. (Most people keep that secret, especially if they are breaking the law.)

But Trump DID know, and looks like HE went for a ride on one of Epstein's sex toys. See the difference there? Ride on a plane versus rape a child?
