Who is Bubba? The content of an email involving Jeffrey Epstein that was released last week asks whether Russia’s Putin had the contents in his possession of a video where Trump is shown “blowing Bubba.”

Social media has gone crazy over this and it was no less than Saturday Night Live last weekend that directly referenced it in hilarious skits more than once. The sense left by that episode of SNL was, in reference to Trump, that the “gloves had come off.”

Some on social media suggested sarcastically that the Bubba reference has meant that Trump is now revealed as “our first LGBTQ president.” Others focused on the Bubba reference, with most, but not all suggesting it referred to Former President Clinton, who has also been named in the famous Epstein Files.

There are other allegations that have been posted which note that Bubba was the name of a very underage teenage boy from West Texas.

President Trump’s claim that the Epstein Files reveal the involvement with the deceased convicted pedophile on his “Lolita Express” airplane and elsewhere were mostly Democrats or other of his erstwhile political enemies is laughable. While it’s true that Clinton and other Democrats were among the many names involved, including that of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman who met with Trump at the White House just this week, they are mentioned nowhere near as often as Trump, who could credibly be called Epstein’s Number One best buddy for well over a decade.

A video of Trump with Epstein played frequently on the national news shows the president looking like the proverbial kid in a candy store. His excitement is uncontained.

But the notion that Trump’s hyper-hedonistic impulses were not limited to young girls is one of the important new aspects of the Epstein Files that were released this week ahead of the massive volume of similar documents that the Congress has finally just voted overwhelmingly to release.

The heinous exploitation of children that the files expose that Epstein and Trump engaged in, as many of the courageous surviving women have been confirming publicly, saying that they are among a thousand or more of total victims of this cruel and criminal international enterprise, have been accompanied by details from those eyewitness accounts of the victims of violent and cruel behavior.

When Trump has been provoked by journalists, especially young women, just this week to snap and insult them, one can imagine how that same behavior accompanied the rape that he’s been accused of by the many victims who’ve come forward.

 But the files’ reference for the first time this week to circumstances involving Trump not limited to girls underscores the almost totally overlooked fact of, as Trump has asserted in his own words, the enormous impact on Trump and his political m.o. in his earlier years of the infamous New York lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn.

Now, Cohn, who died from AIDS in 1986. was known to be a notoriously insatiable homosexual, who ventured out almost daily from his offices in downtown Manhattan to seek out the company of young male hustlers.

He was famously profiled by playwright Tony Kuscher in his epic two AIDS era “Angels in America” plays performed particularly aptly by Al Pacino in their award-winning 2003 HBO miniseries.

Cohn was a special aide to the ugly Sen. Joe McCarthy who terrorized the nation with his lying witchhunts during televised hearings when he accused hundreds of federal civil servants of being communists with ties to the nation’s deadly adversary, the Soviet Union.

In that early 1950s era, when homosexuality was looked upon very poorly, Cohn got wrapped up in his own scandal for seeking special favors for his fellow Senate subcommittee aide, the apple of his eye, C. David Schine, when Schine got drafted into the Army.

It is hard to imagine that, later in the 1970s, Cohn’s “special friendship” with Trump would have been completely devoid of any sexual aspect.

Nonetheless, Trump credits Cohn with teaching him how to “hit back twice as hard” when anyone comes after you, and more poignantly, aggressively accusing one’s enemy of exactly what it is you, yourself, are doing.
