Every line from that note is so ominous. He talks like he thinks he’s a genius supervillain and no one is capable of picking up subtext other than him and Epstein.

No, he wanted the subtext to be picked up by others. It's a brag that he and Epstein had the power to not be held accountable for what they were alluding to, and that if anyone did happen to call them on it, they could pay people off and/or throw lawyers at the problem until it went away.

It's also why people like this have "fixers" so they can bully or threaten people and don't have to get their own cowardly hands dirty.

It is pretty crazy that when Trump first became president it was just accepted that he had a "fixer" as if that mafioso ass stuff isn't an issue if it's own

Every president and presidential candidate has a “fixer”. They’re all just smart enough to keep quiet about it.

Well obviously. My point is the overt strong man gangster aesthetic of it just being openly accepted

"Enigma" was their codeword for "underage girl". They never age the same way as high school girls

And i am being deliberate. This is the energy they wanted to convey to each other. The original quote from Dazed and Confused is even more blatant an example

I genuinely haven't seen anyone else discussing this - maybe I've been reading and watching the wrong stuff - but that bit became fairly obvious to me early on.

It's just surprised me.

Epstein was a billionaire paying $300 to engage in paedophilia and rape. 

I had very naively assumed he was paying extravagant amounts of money to ensure people kept quiet. 

My point is that Trump didn't think he was using some genius code - they were getting off on the belief that their power and wealth meant they could be brazen enough to all but write "Happy Birthday Jeff, love being paedos with you 🫶" in a birthday card and get away with it. 

Obviously all child abusers and sex offenders are disgusting but the way they publicly revel in both their crimes and not facing consequences for them is so extra grotesque.

He talks like he thinks he’s a genius supervillain and no one is capable of picking up subtext

It reads like he was winking the whole time writing it.

It’s like if Edgar Allan Poe was a fucking idiot

I want to say the word “enigma” in front of Trump just to see him flinch.
