All of this news coming out now show you just how terrible democrats are at being a real opposition party. All of this was known and it never came to the attention of the media.
To be fair, this was all information that was published before. Just like now, it changes absolutely nothing for his supporters.
Not to say that the dems aren’t terrible at messaging. But this seems to be more of a case of Trump having so many scandals that people forgot the details of this one. Saw someone post the other day that they went to Epsteins wikipedia page and had completely forgotten large swathes of it. Its just too much, too fucked up, for people to hold on to it.
And the worst part is, none of it is hidden. The video from the 90s (maybe early aughts) that had him speaking about his good friend ‘who, you know, likes them a little on the young side,’ was from Inside Edition (iirc). Dude casually admitted his friend was a pedo and it gets published as a puff piece.
None of this is new, none of this is unknown, its just unbearably fucked up.
Not as unique as you might think. This might be an elite class issue. A lot of people knew about Harvey Weinstein before he got metooed.
A lot of it was out. The Republicans refused to believe it until now.
Many will still do mental gymnastics to rationalize it away.
Trump is not the only wealthy person involved. The people that own both parties don't want themselves and their friends implicated. Bill Clinton, Bill Gates etc
I think it's more a testament to how much the average american ignores, I don't think anything new has really been released regarding Epstein and Trump. Mostly rehashing similar acqusations that have been floating around for years.
I mean there is sworn testimony of him raping an ex-wife https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-exwife-claim-he-raped-her-resurfaces-in-new-documentary-a6836151.html but that never got any traction.
Epstein was a young woman? No way.
The real criminals here are....Obama, Hillary Biden, and Adam Schiff, though! Something something argle bargle "coup" ten years ago! Why won't the liberals see that?!!!
...downvoters ok with fucking kids?...
Maybe due to how they where not invited?
Pretty sure this was reported on before the 2016 election and nobody gave a shit.
All his voters wanted to be at the party. When the "grab them by the pussy" tape was revealed, his voters donned "Trump can grab me by the pussy" t-shirts.
That tape had more impact than it gets credit for. My parents were die-hard Republicans until HitlerPig came along. They were very ambivalent, but were still planning to vote for him when the tape came out. That sealed it.
For the next two years, whenever his name came up, my Mom would go on a rant, starting with "I don't know how any woman could vote for that man..."
She despises him to this day, and "despises" is far to polite a word. I'm not sure a word exists to describe how much she hates him.
Rape culture is the default in USA.
I can't get over that scene in that shitty transformers movie where the adult dates someone that is underaged, and he carries this snippet around where in some state under some circumstances you are allowed to hace sex with someone that is underaged. There was no point of that. She could've just been 18. The guy could've just been 17.
It will be our little secret party 🫲🍊🫱
The pedo pals
Well now I have the title for the worst kids show.
You'll find a niche online market.
Great! Now its even worse!
On Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump issued a bold and unequivocal statement today blasting what he called a “DISGUSTING, DESPERATE, and TOTALLY FAKE” media smear campaign, denying reports that he hosted a private party for young women with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as the only other invited guest.
“LET ME BE VERY CLEAR,” Trump said from his Mar-a-Lago estate. “I NEVER — and I mean NEVER — HOSTED ANY PARTY WITH EPSTEEN OR WHATEVER. NEVER HAPPEND. TOTAL FICTON. Just more LIES from the FAILING FAKE NEWS MEDIA.”
The allegation, first published in The New York Times is based on statements by Florida businessman George Houraney and claimed a gathering at Trump’s Florida property included young women and only one other guest—Jeffrey Epstein. Trump called the implication “SICK, TWISTED NONSENSE from a LOSER who I REFUSED to give a job to, even though HE BEGGED ME!.”
“JEFFREY EPSTEEN? I BANNED HIM FROM MAR-A-LAGO, OKAY? He was a VERY BAD GUY. Everyone KNOWS IT. The WORST. Unlike SLICK WILLIE CLINTON — who was flying on the ‘LOLCITA EXPRESS’ like, what, 30 times? SAD!”
Trump went on to recount an alleged emotional encounter with a supporter. “A VERY STRONG MAN came up to me, big guy, tough — real tough — tears in his eyes. And he said, ‘SIR, THANK YOU for NEVER going to that party. THANK YOU for KICKING OUT EPSTEEN.’ And I said, ‘I KNOW.’ He cried. It was beautifull. Most people wouldn’t understand.”
Team Trump emphasized that “no credible evidence exists” of any such party and warned that legal action may be taken against “SLANDEROUS HACKS” in the press.
“IT’S ALWAYS FAKE NEWS,” Trump concluded. “THEY’VE BEEN LYING SINCE THE ESCALATOR. TOTAL WITCHUNT. VERY UNFARE!”
I can’t tell if this is real or satire 🙃
The hits keep coming
It’s so icky how they try to use “young women”
No wonder why he is deflecting so hard. He has walked back so much stuff other than harming people and ruining economy.
