Again, if there were anything on DJT of substance in the Epstein files, it would have come out LOOOONG ago...
I wonder how lefties will spin this one into being bad news for Trump. May be tough to do ...
For the 100th time ... if there was something out there or something in "the files" so against Trump, it would have come out years before now. They tried everything to prevent him from being elected. Twice. They would have dropped an Epstein pedo story as it relates to Trump out there in a second.
Probably just quote Donald himself saying he never had the privilege to go to the island.
So they're stupid enough to cling to a sarcastic statement taken out of context?
Oh, so this is another one of those times we shouldn't take Trump at his word. I would say it's hard to keep up with when we should believe what he is saying and when we shouldn't believe what he's saying, but it is actually pretty easy - when it is bad for Trump, then he didn't really mean it, when it's good for Trump, then he really meant it.
I don't know. I'm not the brightest. But it's easy for me to keep up if you don't take statements out of context. Did you see the entire statement? It seemed very clear to me.
Maybe you can clear something else up for me ... if there was something out there or something in "the files" so harmful to Trump, why would it have not come out years before now? They tried everything to prevent him from being elected. Twice. Why would they would have not dropped an Epstein pedo story as it relates to Trump out there in a second, if there was one out there?
Think about this ... the Biden controlled government has access to "the files" for years. Why would they not leak anything in there that would have derailed Trump?
That question has been asked many times, They will not answer it, because they cannot answer it. They will then deflect. That's what they do.
That question has been asked and responded to a number of times on this thread.
The idea is that there are parties who were involved in the Epstein stuff on both sides of the aisle, and that if you bring down one person, it opens Pandora's Box, and there would be a number of casualties on the left and the right. If this is the case, naturally, as those in power often do, they will look out for their own best interests and protect themselves. FWIW, I do not think Trump is involved in anything pedophilic, but I could see there being something in the files that is damning regarding shady business deals or something of that nature.
Given how much Trump hyped the issue before the election, along with his son, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, etc. It is not unreasonable for people to believe that there is more to the story, and Trump and his team only have themselves to blame for that. The reason this has become such a spectacle is because Trump campaigned on it, made a massive show of handing out "Epstein Files: Phase I" binders at the White House with a bunch of influencers, the comment Pam Bondi made about having a "client list" on her desk, and the edited botched camera footage they released.
I do not think a two-page memo saying "yup, it was all Jeff" is going to cut it in the court of public opinion. I am open to that being the reality, but, like many others, I will think there is more to the story unless something conclusive comes out.
I have voted for Trump in all three elections that I have been old enough to vote, and am mind-boggled by the unwavering devotion so many have to him. The way this situation has been handled is nothing but a complete failure.
