I can not deny I have become numb to the endless stream of grifting and corruption that  flows through the administration of our sitting president.  The blatant unscrupulousness of many of Trump’s cabinet members would have crushed the reputation of any previous president.  But Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta surrounds Trump with a particular odorous stench.  Once again here we go with the obvious questions of how long will Acosta hang on to his job and of course how does the man who says he only hires the best defend the appointment of someone who is guilty of unprofessional conduct in defending a pedophile?

I won’t waste time with sordid details.  Just google Jeffrey Epstein.  You’ll be exposed to articles like this.  Jeffery Epstein Explained 

Here’s a Trump quote from a 2002 article in New York Magazine:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine for a 2002 profile of Epstein. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Trump, as well as Bill Clinton, associated with this creep.   The overriding question for me, once again,  is with all the baggage this president has why would he want to subject himself to the personal scrutiny that was bound to develop by running for president of the United States in the first place?  Here we are again with another head scratching example of that very history.  Is this another attempt to somehow cover up yet another scandal?   A normal president would have some explaining to do here.  But as we have seen, the Trump presidency is anything but normal.  What we can expect is more of the same- just another day at the Trump office.
