  3. Because so many of his Maga people went from: well maybe, to: oh shit, he‘s on the list.

  4. If I had a nickel every time TheDailyBeast claimed Trump or MAGA were freaking out…

  5. It seems like a time to bring up Epstein constantly, and relate whatever is going on to the scandal.

    Qatari jet? That was a replacement for Trump’s Epstein private jet, which he might have wanted because of his memories onboard.

    Tariff war? That’s a distraction from the Epstein coverup. He wants Americans to pay higher prices and talk about that instead of Epstein.

    And so on.

  6. I’m honestly curious what the chain of custody on this evidence looks like if they’re freaking out about this. Like couldn’t they just either alter the documents or destroy them? Everyone who knows what’s in the report is his lackey and will keep quiet if they did this anyway, right? Or did it have wider distribution and they’re afraid of a whistleblower?

  7. Don’t care about the political or financial consequences, the Epstein associates who can be proven to be pedophiles should be prosecuted.

    What’s more, because they are almost certainly part of a political and financial elite, they represent a national security risk as they are possibly already being blackmailed and thus are compromised.

  8. To read: https://archive.ph/pkxgj

    This is Acosta’s opinion. There’s no direct information to back his opinion other than a gut feel. I mean we all feel and suspect it (and want it).

    Anyway.

  9. MAGA spent years hyping up a great coverup with Epstein, to have their orange god basically go “lol nope there was no conspiracy guys, thanks for the vote!” must be a slap to the face for the minority of MAGA who haven’t taken it completely up the ass from their idol.

  10. Keep hammering it

    Don’t let the gross old pedophiles and cult of trump ignore this

  11. I think he knows there are people not under his authority that have this list, especially in other countries. If it was only at DOJ they’d manipulate or redact his name.

  12. MAGA doesn’t actually care if Trump is on the list, or even he helped traffic. They are mad because the juiciest conspiracy of the last 20 years is being withheld from them.

  13. Hopefully the fucker dies of a heart attack or an aneurysm.

    Oh wait, that would require a heart and brain.

  14. > Dear Director Patel,

    > Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, **Epstein’s lists of contacts**, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.

    …

  15. Remember Trump’s face when Elon tweeted about this? That was deep panic.

  16. Trump knows damn well that releasing the info on Epstein would not just implicate HIMSELF, but would implicate a lot of other VERY rich and powerful people; people that might decide to come after Trump in the worst way possible as payback for exposing them.

    That’s likely what happened to Epstein himself and also is probably why Biden didn’t release the data when HE had it. Too many rich and powerful people are going to burn if the truth gets out.

  17. If he’s innocent then what is he freaking out about 🤔

  18. If Trump had not advocated for grabbing women’s private parts like he was caught proclaiming on the Access Hollywood tape, then maybe Trump wouldn’t have anything to worry about in the Epstein files, and maybe he also would not have been civilly liable for sexually assaulting a woman. It’s sad that, on July 4, 2026, America will be celebrating its semiquincentennial anniversary with a rapist President who is also the only President in American history to be a convicted felon.

  19. If he were in the clear he would release the files and not be freaking out.

  20. Trump is our POTUS. Pedophile of the United States of America. 🇺🇸

  21. What on earth is the delay?
    The file is right on Pam Bondi’s desk!*

  22. He’s planning shenanigans to distract, prob gonna hit Iran again because “we totally destroyed all the stuff last time”.

  24. I want to say this might discourage people from voting in the midterms and or switching sides, but I think I’ve earned my lesson to not underestimate his voter base.

  25. It couldn’t possibly be scary unless he’s in the files. Why would he care otherwise, like at all?

  26. He’s going to order the FBI to release a doctored list that excludes everyone but political opponents.

  28. I’m not sure if Trump cares about the list.

    The fact is, Epstein died in suspicious circumstances under Trump’s watch. Many important “elites” are on that list not all of them are Republicans.

    Some rich and important people may well have extorted or bribed Trump to make sure Epstein never testified. Those people are likely the ones Trump is afraid of. Financial and criminal evidence in Epstein’s “suicide” could be devastatingly personal for Trump.

  29. Real talk: Why should we keep handing over our hard-earned money to a government that protects pedophiles? The Epstein client list still isn’t public. They’re blatantly lying to us now about it. First it was “we’re going to release it” .. Then it was “It doesn’t exist”… Now Trump says in a truth social post it does exist but the radical left made it up. They’re not even trying anymore to hide that this is the worse cover up in history.

    Nobody has faced consequences. And yet we’re expected to keep funding this system like good little sheep?

    What if millions of us just stopped paying taxes until the list was released and the people on it were jailed? Why should we be financially supporting a government that seems more interested in protecting the elite than delivering justice?

    We jail people for stealing food, but not the ones who rape children behind closed doors with full immunity. Enough is enough.

  30. Why is he even getting blowback now? It’s not like this is new information or anything? Everyone who voted for him knew he was a pedo and everyone who didn’t also knew.

  31. Obligatory reminder; Trump enjoys raping people’s 13 year old daughters. Epstein files.

  32. Should be every reporters first question. Seeing him make excuses every time is helping people realize who he is.

  33. No he’s not. Trump knows him raping underage girls and being in the Epstein files doesn’t matter to MAGA so long as he viciously goes after brown and trans people.

  35. He’s a kiddy diddler. The most horrible creeps on the planet. Get this fuck locked up.

  37. I’d love to know what *Alex* Acosta thinks. 

  38. And people need to keep up the pressure.

    Whoever the DNC nominee is in ’28, publicly releasing everything known about JE — and **vigorously** prosecuting current officials covering this whole thing up — needs to be front and center in their campaign.

    None of this “let’s just move on” bullshit. Voters should demand justice be served with the fury of a doberman hopped up on angel dust, and Democrats should deliver.

  40. Here is what I think is happening. The elites orchestrated the greatest theft in the US history with their Big Beautiful Bill. The people’s talk on that was getting too uncomfortable.

    So they threw Epstein list as the bone for the masses to chew on. It didn’t matter to them if this clown of a president was thrown under the bus because his utility to them is over, so to speak.

    Now, you all are demanding the list, good for accountability and political democracy but everyone has already forgotten about the future theft.

    US is the prime example of how Oligarchy always presents itself as democracy.

  41. Every single question asked of him by every single reporter from now on needs to be about Jeffrey Epstein. He should not be allowed to escape this.

  42. If you don’t have anything to hide then RELEASE THE FILES, UNREDACTED. Nothing to worry about if you aren’t a guilty CHILD FUCKER, right Trump?
