Donald Trump’s ever-changing narrative about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has grown increasingly incoherent, with his latest claim being that Epstein “stole” spa workers from Mar-a-Lago—including, allegedly, Virginia Giuffre. Instead of expressing outrage over Epstein’s crimes or sympathy for the survivors, Trump framed the fallout like a staffing dispute, saying Epstein took people who worked for him and that Giuffre “had no complaints.” The shifting timelines—from calling Epstein a “terrific guy” to suddenly claiming moral indignation or workplace betrayal—don’t inspire confidence in his account.

Giuffre’s family responded critically to Trump’s comments, describing them as insensitive and reducing Virginia to an object rather than acknowledging her as a survivor. They emphasized that she was a person who endured serious trauma and should not be spoken about in such transactional terms. Their reaction raised broader concerns about the tone and framing of Trump’s statements—particularly the absence of empathy toward those harmed by Epstein. By focusing on staffing disputes and loyalty rather than addressing the abuse itself, Trump’s remarks were seen as overlooking the core human cost of the scandal.
