  1. He said the Epstein files were “made up by the left”

    WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL

    Editing this as it’s the top comment currently: if you’re interested in a good citizens’ OSINT analysis, read this dude’s thread about the tape released by DOJ that supposedly “proves he killed himself”. It’s superb.

    Some people think this case was a hoax here is a video of her testimony. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=katie+johnson+tv+interview&mid=B36BCEB81055717C6280B36BCEB81055717C6280&FORM=VIRE

  3. *”stop the counting”*

    -Donald Trump November 2020

  4. The conservative sub is not having it today it seems. Sadly they still only blame Bondi. They refuse to even consider Trump may be the reason. Jim Jones would be proud.

  5. Oh yeah… keep telling people to forget about the Epstein Files… that’ll get the base that you deliberately riled up about this (as part of your campaign and *even* during the very beginning of your 2nd term) to forget about it… yeah…

    Anyway, never stop talking about this.

  6. LOL he is basically at the point the files are all fake and written by Obama. I think he is in a panic because he believes Musk actually might have the information and copied it.

  8. Only one way to read his rant,

    He’s guilty, he knows he’s guilty, his cult isn’t culting on this, and he’s a cornered rat with no way out other than to plead with people not to care about child sex trafficking.

  9. “I’m guilty of raping underage girls so please protect me”

  10. Trump protecting pedos like his life depends on it, or does it?

  11. I mean, it’s not like MAGA is going to come to their senses.

    If they did, imagine the shock that they voted for a terrible businessman who grifted them all these years and instead of “protecting the children” from trans people, they voted for President a felon who used to frequent kiddie island with Epstein.

    I mean, I’d fully believe many would be suicidal for just how wrong they were.

  13. MASH Speaker – ‘Trump is on the Epstein list. That is all’

  14. Obligatory reminder; Trump enjoys raping people’s 13 year old daughters, just like yours. Epstein files.

  15. He is scared. You can start to hear the panic in him around this topic.

  16. That’s because Donald Trump fucked children. On Epstein’s island.

  18. They are now “The Epstein/Trump Files”.

    If Trump wasn’t in those files, he would have posted every single word on Truth Social.

    Trump is in this deep.

  19. He said they are fake now. But also claimed Clinton was on them.

    Said Epstein was his buddy for years and they liked their women young and their social lives. Now he thinks he is sick.

    Dude is *scared*. Not as scared as the girls he abused I bet. Monster.

  21. Just goes to show he thinks the MAGA base is a bunch of easily manipulated rubes and idiots.

  22. It would be hilarious if after 10 years of  conspiracies and pizzagate and Q he just said “stop caring about that” and they did.

  23. The child rapist wants his base to forget what he did. Hmm how could Biden do this smh

  25. I assumed he would release a doctored version that omits himself and allies (and possibly adds people). I’m sure the thought has crossed his mind. I’m not sure what the reason is that he hasn’t:

    * He thinks there will be a leak of the coverup
    * He doesn’t trust people not to blackmail him over the coverup
    * He knows others have receipts – if he names them they’ll have nothing to lose

    My bet is on the last option.

  26. Why? Because he raped underage girls and knows that even his base won’t accept it? Even he knows that if he is exposed as part of a broader pedophile ring, even if it includes Clinton and other celebrities and people living on the high horse, he can’t survive it. So he wants to suppress it. No doubt he’s already told his “Justice Department” to destroy the evidence, but there may be at least one brave soul willing to leak it. We will see.

  28. # The Complete Trump-Epstein Timeline: Decades of Connections, Cover-ups, and Contradictions

    **TL;DR**: Trump had a 15+ year friendship with Epstein, his DOJ was riddled with conflicts of interest, and when Epstein died in Trump’s custody, he immediately blamed the Clintons while covering up his own deeper connections.

    ## Part 1: The 15-Year Friendship (1987-2002)

    **1987**: Trump and Epstein first meet. Became “nightlife musketeers” with Tom Barrack ([Mercury News](https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/07/10/jeffrey-epstein-boasted-that-he-played-matchmaker-for-donald-and-melania-trump-report-says/))

    **1992**: [NBC footage](https://apnews.com/article/156bf74aa00640969bbf57011b8395f1) captures them partying at Mar-a-Lago with 28 cheerleaders. Trump whispers in Epstein’s ear, points at women saying “She’s hot”

    **1993-1997**: [Flight logs show](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/nov/08/instagram-posts/no-evidence-president-elect-donald-trump-visited-j/) Trump flew on Epstein’s plane at least 7 times, including with Tiffany and Marla Maples

    **2002**: Trump’s infamous quote to New York Magazine ([Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-called-epstein-a-terrific-guy-before-denying-relationship-with-him/2019/07/08/a01e0f00-a1be-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html)):

    > **”I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. 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.”**

    ## Part 2: The Falling Out (2004-2008)

    **2004**: Trump outbids Epstein for Palm Beach mansion. Two weeks later, police get first tip about Epstein ([Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-and-jeffrey-epstein-partied-together-then-an-oceanfront-palm-beach-mansion-came-between-them/2019/07/31/79f1d98c-aca0-11e9-a0c9-6d2d7818f3da_story.html))

    **Key fact**: 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre was [recruited at Mar-a-Lago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffre) while working as spa attendant. Her father was maintenance manager at Trump’s club.

    ## Part 3: Trump Administration Conflicts of Interest (2017-2021)

    **2017**: Trump appoints Alexander Acosta as Labor Secretary – the same prosecutor who gave Epstein the sweetheart 2008 plea deal ([CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/12/labor-secretary-alex-acosta-is-resigning-as-pressure-mounts-from-jeffrey-epstein-case.html))

    **2019**: William Barr becomes AG despite massive conflicts:

    – Barr’s father hired Epstein to teach at elite school [despite zero credentials](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-dalton-school-math-teacher-yearbook-photos-125122535.html)

    – Barr worked at Kirkland & Ellis, the firm that represented Epstein

    **The Recusal Flip-Flop**:

    – July 8: [Barr recuses himself](https://www.newsweek.com/william-barr-says-hes-recused-epstein-case-over-legal-conflict-1448165)

    – July 9: [Reverses recusal](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/09/bill-barr-will-not-recuse-himself-in-jeffrey-epstein-prosecution.html) after “consulting ethics officials”

    ## Part 4: Epstein’s Death & Trump’s Hypocrisy (August 10, 2019)

    **6:30 AM**: Epstein found dead in Trump’s DOJ custody

    **That evening**: Trump promotes Clinton conspiracy theories

    **Official tweet timestamps** from American Presidency Project:

    – **22:01:25**: Retweets about Clinton’s flights

    – **22:01:56**: Just **31 seconds later**, retweets: “Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH? Yeah right! #JefferyEpstein had information on Bill Clinton”

    The conspiracy retweet got [70,642 retweets](https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/tweets-august-10-2019) – massive amplification.

    **The Hypocrisy**: While blaming Clinton, Trump ignored his own:

    – 15-year friendship with Epstein

    – 7 documented flights on Epstein’s plane

    – [14 phone numbers in Epstein’s book](https://www.factcheck.org/2019/08/the-epstein-connections-fueling-conspiracy-theories/)

    – The 2002 “younger women” quote

    ## Part 5: The 2025 Cover-up

    **June 2024**: Trump tells Fox News he’d declassify Epstein files, but [Fox edited out his backtrack](https://www.yahoo.com/news/fox-news-edited-trump-saying-175738014.html): “I guess I would… you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there”

    **February 2025**: AG Pam Bondi claims Epstein “client list” is [“sitting on my desk”](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/08/jeffrey-epstein-bondi-patel-trump/)

    **July 7, 2025**: [DOJ releases memo](https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-fbi-review-finds-jeffrey-epstein-client-list/story?id=123526125) declaring:

    – Epstein died by suicide (case closed)

    – No “client list” exists

    – No further prosecutions

    **July 8, 2025**: When asked about Epstein, [Trump snaps](https://www.axios.com/2025/07/08/jeffrey-epstein-files-trump-list-pam-bondi): “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years… This creep”

    ## The Evolution of Trump’s Denials:

    – **2002**: “Terrific guy… likes beautiful women… on the younger side”

    – **2019**: “I was not a fan… haven’t spoken in 15 years”

    – **2025**: “This creep… waste of time to discuss”

    ## The MAGA Rebellion

    Trump’s own supporters are [furious about the cover-up](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-supporters-angry-justice-departments-epstein-memo/story?id=123567461). Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, and Tucker Carlson are turning on the administration for burying the case.

    ## The Bottom Line

    Trump had deeper documented connections to Epstein than Clinton ever did, yet spent years promoting conspiracy theories while his own administration covered up the case. The same DOJ that was supposed to investigate Epstein’s death was run by people with direct conflicts of interest.

    This represents one of the most hypocritical and suspicious handling of a major criminal case in presidential history.

  29. >But on Saturday, Trump came to the defense of his attorney general, suggesting that the so-called “Epstein Files” were a hoax perpetrated by the Democratic Party for political gain, without specifying what benefits they hoped to attain.

    YOU NARCISSISTIC EGOTISTICAL LYING BITCH, YOU CAMPAIGNED ON THEM.

  30. They can’t give it up. They have devoted the better part of a DECADE spinning the Pizzagate/Anon fantasy to a fever pitch.

    They were promised mass arrests, public tribunals and public executions of all of those awful adrenochrome-draining, face eating, selling on Wayfair pedophile Democrats behind (and active participants in) the global cabal. They want blood.

    They have lost friends and family members over this. They desperately want to be able to tell them all that they were right all along, and gloat in their superior intelligence and ability to see “what’s really going on” that the rest of us were just too stupid to see. They need their “I Told You So” moment, or the ten years has been for naught.

  31. The president of the United States is most likely a pedophile, child rapist.

    What are we going to do here?

    I have never in my life thought the US would fall so much and to as low as we are at right now…and with more to go.

  32. He’s so fucking guilty. This is the behavior of a guilty person.

    And to be honest, would you really expect Trump to be above or beneath that behavior?

  33. And there you have it. The final most essential command “Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears”.
