Trump was never on the island. Trump also distanced himself from Epstein earlier than a lot of other people. Not because he's a good guy, but because they butted heads. Specifically the quote you are talking about is from 2002. Trump and Epstein fell out in 2004, after competing for the same piece of real estate. Epstein wasn't arrested, for his first set of crimes, until 2005:

When the allegations against Epstein became national news in 2019, Trump distanced himself from the convicted sex offender, saying that he “was not a fan” of the disgraced financier and eventually banned him from Mar-a-Lago.
And it does seem to be true that the two had a falling out in the years following that now-infamous New York Magazine quote. The Washington Post reported that in 2004 the two men each tried to buy the same Palm Beach mansion. Trump eventually won the auction, and later sold the home for more than twice the $41.35 million he spent on it. But the Post reported that the competition over the beachfront property spelled the end of Trump and Epstein’s friendship.

Epstein was the kind of guy who rolled in big enough circles, anyone who was rich had interactions with him. Trump posing for a few pictures with him in the 90s, isn't going to be all that damaging.
If Clinton is actually placed on the island engaging in something questionable, it will be very damaging to the Democratic party.
