When Trump says his falling out with Epstein was over Jeff hiring Trump's workers, this is what he really means. Poaching his victims, more like.

u/Falron Europe 28d ago

So he’s not hiding the files just because he is a co-conspirator but because these files would presumably shine a light on his own, independent heinous crimes.

Epstein is in the Trump files.

I'm torn between calling them the Trump-Epstein files to emphasize how Trump was a major player not just a bystander, and calling them the Epstein-Trump files, because there's a non-zero chance he gets so irritated by the second billing that he comes out and says "Look, I raped way more girls than Jeff, OK? He could only dream about doing as many as I did."

This is a common misconception. It’s actually Trumpstein’s monster.

Yeah, but the true monster was Trumpstein himself.

u/ZincFingerProtein 28d ago

Trumpstein and the republican mob behind him supporting him are all the monsters.

Yeah, in this story the angry villagers with torches and pitchforks are fighting FOR the monster.

"The real monster was the convicted felon and fraudster, inveterate liar, and outspoken bigot that we've had evidence of shoved in our face for the last decade all along.

The problem with this, is that there's no way to second-bill Trump in this portmanteau. There's no way to make it sound like a word.

Dead ass- this is a great idea. He likes doing this shit as a way to meme-ify ideas and make them stick, and it works well, like Migrant Crime> Biden Migrant Crime > Bigrant Crime.

Trump supplied girls to Epstein through his pageants. Not only is a pedophile rapist but he was participating in the trafficking as well

The conspiracy nuts were right on this one. Wild

u/perthguppy 28d ago

Literally every accusation is a projection. Tommorow we will find out they held a pageant/party at a fucking chuck-e-cheese

u/bejammin075 Pennsylvania 28d ago

In a reverse of the old Hair Club For Men slogan, Trump isn't just a client, he's the CEO of human trafficking inc.

u/RoseCutGarnets 28d ago

And yet: for all that I want to feel hope that this will finally be Trump's downfall, this story remains nowhere on Fox's landing page or broadcast, which means that much of MAGA isn't even hearing about it.

u/PortugalPilgrim88 28d ago

And today he admitted that Epstein ‘stole’ an under age spa girl from him who was trafficked by Epstein in 2000.

I've thought about starting to say, "Trumpstein," but I like your idea of putting Trump last so that he feels like he "isn't even the best molestor."

So "Epstrump"?

u/mytthew1 28d ago

He was more than just a client, he was a co-groomer.

u/perthguppy 28d ago

An Epstein supplier?

22

u/clash_by_night 28d ago

In that case, definitely the second option. I'm half-convinced he could admit to it openly and there would still be no consequences.

u/IMadePnGRich 28d ago

Exactly! He’s fking Teflon.

He could walk out onto 5th Ave and shoot someone and not lose any voters.

If only the files were covered up by the first Trump admin’s justice department, then they could be the Epstein-Barr files.

Though longer, I am running with “Trumpenstein Pedo-files.” The Cheeto Pedo created this monster and then voluntarily unleashed it in the MAGA-sphere where conspiracies don’t need facts to blossom. Now he has lost control of it.

The novice will ask, “Makes no sense. Why would he do that?”

  1. There was already media coverage about his relationship with Epstein. He opted to get out in front of the story by saying, “I will release the files!” Knowing he never would.

  2. More importantly, he knew that if he lost 2024, he was going to be prosecuted for J6 and the theft of top secret intel and Georgia election interference. He was willing to fan the conspiracy flames around his own child rape to burnish his phony reputation as the only man willing to take a stand against the evil child raping elite.

Surprise! The convict felon, tax fraud, failed businessman, incompetent, genital grabbing, adjudicated rapist, and all-around scumbag is the ultimate bad guy.

u/Tall_Act391 28d ago

He may make that mistake. Been making a lot of other ones.

There’s a small optimist in me that sees trumps’ presidency as a potential vaccine to inoculate our government against future abuses of the presidency, but given how scotus was stacked, that optimist is dying a rather painful death atm.

1

u/kgal1298 28d ago

I’d also guess this is why Trump actually does know who was on that plane because he was with them

u/Any-Assumption-7785 28d ago

Donald Trump was acting as a drug dealer in that relationship. He was the supplier, not Epstein. He was a shitty dealer, though, one of those guys that sticks around and tries to make you smoke the whole bag with you.

u/twitterfluechtling 27d ago

"Look, I raped way more girls than Jeff, OK? He could only dream about doing as many as I did."

followed by

"And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything"actual cite, in context of "grab em by the pussy"

And the worst thing is, as things are developing, he might be right. There is a good chance in spite of evidence, witnesses etc. he won't be brought to legal justice. It's vile.

Epstein-Trump Files sounds like the right choice

0

u/daddyjackpot 28d ago

this is something the left needs to get together on. when trump comes up w/a stupid nickname for somebody, every single right-winger repeats it.

walz did it successfully with, "they're weird." but i think that's the only example of the successful lefty name calling

but, you sir, are onto something w/calling them the eptstein-trump files. every single decent american should do that.

the silver lining is that since we don't do this, trump doesn't enjoy the 'they're picking on me!' poll boost he always gets.

Ooooh you got me thinking how they need to do a reverse psychology. "Oh, yeah a real one would've bagged more girls than you ever could, trump." and just have is ego get him spilling and talking because a narc like him can't help but to let his prideful ego get the best of him
