How Jeffrey Epstein Tried to Tap Into Trump’s Circle

August 30, 2023 at 6:24 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Wall Street Journal: “During the 2016 presidential campaign, Jeffrey Epstein began setting up meetings with people close to Donald Trump. He introduced some of them to another of his associates, a top Russian diplomat.”

“Although Trump was a sizable underdog to Hillary Clinton, Epstein began saying in 2016 that he thought Trump could win, and the convicted sex offender bragged about how many people in Trump’s orbit that he knew.”

From our partner: Propaganda Posters

Before Tweets, There Were Posters

If you follow politics closely, you know some of the most powerful ideas in history weren’t just argued — they were designed, printed, and plastered on walls.

That’s why I recommend Propaganda Posters, a site that curates and sells some of the most iconic political posters from history. The prints are high quality, richly detailed, and full of bold, vivid color — the kind that immediately draws your eye and holds it.

I’ve been genuinely impressed with how good these posters look in person. They feel substantial, display beautifully, and turn political history into real, conversation-starting art.

If you’re a Political Wire reader who appreciates the power of political messaging, this is a collection worth seeing.
