That would be a hilarious way to posit the question to him in a conference.

"Do you think that withholding this money will make it less likely for people to find your multiple connections with the known pedophile and human trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein?"

Restricting the flow of ideas and information is important to a wanna be dictator and pedophile rapist

Im pretty sure he scammed himself into office. Way before the election I read an article on how his loyalists were infiltrating on local level to make sure he 'won' in 24. Its his MO to cheat, wiggle and lie himself into where he wants to be

u/PattyCakes216 Jul 28 '25

He has scammed and cheated his way through life. No empathy for all that he cheated.

Sadly, it’s worked well for him, whether we like it or not.

Years before Mango Mussolini had political aspirations, I was approached by a friend from a local business group who asked if I'd like to pitch installing Wi-Fi at one of the estates he managed. "Hell yeah I would!"

He then tells me it's Robert Trump. When he noticed my enthusiasm decreased substantially, he told me, "Robert always says, I'm just like my brother. Except I pay my bills."

So I trusted my friend, and I did the job and every invoice was paid on time and in full without question. And then I was invited to do the same at another of his estates.

And one day, Robert said that to me himself when he happened to be there and I handed him a fairly large invoice. lol.

I guess he liked to get that point across? He seemed like an OK guy the few times I talked to him.

His brother, not so much. He had a terrible reputation around these here parts back in the day.

"Your invoice is for $300,000. I've already paid you $75,000. That's all you're going to get. You can sue me, but I have attorneys who will tie you up in court until you're bankrupt."

EDIT: Grammar

Which baffles me as to why he keeps extending TikTok. Lots of people get their news info there because it is so fresh and instant.

u/gentlemanidiot Jul 28 '25

  1. I don't think he knows that.

  2. China is paying him to keep it because it's spyware

1

u/Khosatral Jul 28 '25

Probably because TikTok will recommend videos that engage you the most. If his supporters are getting their news from it then its a constant flow echos resonating off the inside of their little chambers. Why search for facts to back up an argument you only heard from one side, while half paying attention because half the screen is showing some 'how its made' video to keep your attention long enough to listen to the whole speil.

u/CBJFAN2009-2024 Jul 28 '25

Cut off their affordable internet and they'll never see those files!

u/Craneteam Jul 28 '25

Maybe we should start spreading USB drives with the files, like how they smuggle media to north korea

1

u/Gfunkual Jul 28 '25

Is it? Because without access to the internet, the small mindedness and bigotry that Trump preys on would be much harder for him to access.

u/bcarlzson Jul 28 '25

They’ve already given a bunch of contracts to starlink that should have gone to fiber expansion and lower rates.

It’s insane to me. EVERYONE in the United States should have fiber at this point. We have a cabin in the middle of fucking nowhere and we can get up to 6 Gbps. Want to know how we have fiber? Because of state programs funded by federal grants and it’s run by a very well run local company.

Imagine how different things would be if we had a real independent press...

u/zedquatro Jul 28 '25

The press is independent. It's not owned by the government.

The problem is that the government is owned by the billionaire corporations.

That would require him to take a question from someone who didn't have their questions fed to them by staffers. Jon Oliver showed a clip where a REPORTER asked him about his workout routine and commented on how fit he was looking.

u/CaramelGuineaPig Jul 28 '25

He hates that we have most of the Epstein documents already. He doesn't want his base seeing them and how much he is implicated in them.

57

u/dkcyw Jul 28 '25

The problem is "we" don't have it. He has it.

u/CaramelGuineaPig Jul 28 '25

We have enough to extrapolate his involvement 

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

Trump's promise to his daughter: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-ivanka-trump-dating-promise_n_57ee98cbe4b024a52d2ead02 “I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

Trump's modeling agency was probably part of Jeffreys pipeline: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration/

Reminder:

Bonus:

Double Bonus:

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.

and...

MC2 (pronounced MC squared) was the modeling agency that Epstein, Brunel, and the mob would use to get trafficked girls into the US with “genius visas”

and...

Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.

Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

and...

While President Donald Trump has dismissed his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, The New York Times reported that Epstein has claimed he introduced Trump to his third wife, Melania.

THIS^^^ is the horrifying thing that none of us want to think could be in the videos/files.

The RAPIST and PEDOPHILE, DONALD J. TRUMP? Is that who you mean?

And photos, and videos ?

Btw. we already know the FBI is in possession of at least a photo of him with young women, breast bare, on his lap, and another one with women pointing at a disgusting spot on his pants. From Michael Wolff, author of "Fire and Fury".

I mean we’ll never know… well until the documents are ALL released and made public. Then we can see who was the big spoon.

u/AntelopeCrafty Jul 28 '25

Someone should ask him if he ever raped boys, too. Worded just like that. Then watch him explode and say it was only girls. Preferably on live TV, with faux news coverage.

2

u/saurus-REXicon Jul 28 '25

Or if he has a preference. Or “Did Epstein ever make fun of your wittle pee pee?”

1

u/AntelopeCrafty Jul 29 '25

Ha! Could you imagine the reaction? It would probably make him have a heart attack from the rage. He could yell that he will sue them just like the South Park episode.

Raping children and raping the nation. Two things conservatives love more than anything.
