I've always seen people referencing just a single photo or video of Trump with Epstein & Co., so I felt it was necessary to create this compilation to show that Trump's relationship with these people extended far beyond being mere acquaintances.

If you have any feedback, I'm all ears. My channel isn't monetized so I just make whatever I feel like and it's nice not having money in the equation. No monetization means I can do little weird things like creating this video in the style of Goodfellas, just to show people that at the end of the day, the only difference between Trump and a two-bit gangster is that he inherited billions of dollars. Apart from that, he still has and continues to conduct himself like a boorish fool.

Idk how this is even necessary? We all know he's a piece of shit. Anyone still defending him is just a Nazi/pedo/SA apologist.

They don’t care. It’s all fake news, facts don’t matter. Those are fake facts. What a shit show this has all become. We let a wolf in the hen house.

True, they were wearing shirts that say "voting for the felon" or some shit like that. They do not care, it's a cult

Part of why I made this video was to share it with my friends and family who aren't online as often as you, I, or the average Lemmy user. I wasn't shocked to get feedback from folks all around the world who had no clue that Trump's relationship with Epstein went this deep, and I think part of that is because most mainstream media really gloss over this demonstrable fact or when they do cover it, they just skim the surface and basically downplay it as much as possible.

I also created this video so people can link it in response to Trump supporters and simply say "here's your guy Trump in multiple photos and videos clearly have a grand ol' time with Epstein, Weinstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell" because it's a nice, simple way of confronting them with the reality of who they're so adamantly supporting.

Plus, who am I kidding? I've always thought Henry Hill's narration in Goodfellas* was absurdly similar to the way in which Trump conducted himself and making the video was a nice exercise in video editing.

I mean... it's literally like 3 photos of what is claimed. Stretched into a 4 minute long video. With photos/photoshops of trump by himself in various rooms. If the rooms have connection with Epstein, I don't know what they are.

So yeah, this was such trash. It doesn't bring home any point, we already knew Trump was a pedo sleeze fuck, as well as Ghislaine, Weinstein, and Epstein. It just looks like someone who's thinking way to much about this stuff in their spare time...

You could even just rename this to something MAGA would like, and the video would still make complete sense. There's nothing actually saying these people were bad or anything. If I didn't know any better, it almost looks like the video is some sort of praise.

There's several videos in there of Trump with Esptein but alright. I find it odd that folks downplay this stuff, mostly because I think folks here are online wayyyy more often than the average person who isn't nearly as aware of Trump's connections.

The amount of folks who've heard of the Clinton/Epstein connection but not the Trump/Epstein connection is surprisingly high. I often wonder how often folks here talk to people who aren't leftists.

And obviously part of the video was a bit of humor but got forbid that I guess, damn.
