Trump Calls Epstein List a Democrat Psyop, Tells MAGA 'Not to Waste Time and Energy'
The president got ratio'd on his own platform.

Less than one year ago, then-candidate Donald Trump vowed to release the Jeffrey Epstein files - aka the 'list' of friends and associates who violated "more than 1,000" sex-trafficked victims.
Now, after his FBI just came out to say 'nothing to see here!' (no list, and Epstein definitely killed himself), Trump just wants the whole thing to go away for some reason we can't quite put our finger on.
Last week Trump lashed out at a reporter for asking about Epstein, saying "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years."
On Saturday, Trump gave a masterclass in the Streisand effect - writing in a Truth Social post "We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again."
Yeah, why do people want to find out which rich and powerful men were fucking children provided by Epstein? And what did Trump mean when he said that Epstein 'never dies'? (Maybe QAnon knows)
Trump then attempted to discredit the Epstein files, equating it to the Steele dossier...
"Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands," adding "Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?"
Maybe because it would implicate everyone on both sides of the aisle?
Trump then said that the FBI should focus on voter fraud and arresting "Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein."
"One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."
Elon Musk chimed in a few hours later:
"He said “Epstein” half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised," Musk wrote in another post.
The screed earned Trump a ratio on his own platform...

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson just said the quiet part out loud; Epstein was likely working a blackmail operation for Israel, which was conducting crimes on American soil.
As Chris Hedges notes, the list of those who were in Epstein’s orbit is a who’s who of the rich and famous. They include not only Trump, but Bill Clinton, who allegedly took a trip to Thailand with Epstein, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, former Secretary of the Treasury and former president of Harvard University Larry Summers, cognitive psychologist and author Stephen Pinker, Alan Dershowitz, billionaire and Victoria’s Secret CEO Leslie Wexner, the former Barclays banker Jes Staley, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, the magician David Copperfield, actor Kevin Spacey, former CIA director Bill Burns, real estate mogul Mort Zuckerman, former Maine senator George Mitchell and disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who reveled in Epstein’s perpetual Bacchanalia.
Needless to say, Trump's latest command to MAGA over Epstein has backfired...
Maybe Elon was right?
Also, where's our Fort Knox audit?

the connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Their relationship, spanning the 1980s to the early 2000s, has been documented through photographs, flight logs, and firsthand accounts, raising questions about judgment and accountability. While no evidence directly ties Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities, their association warrants a clear-eyed examination of its nature, context, and implications.
Trump and Epstein met in the late 1980s, both prominent figures in New York’s elite social scene. Trump, a real estate mogul, and Epstein, a financier of questionable wealth, shared a mutual affinity for wealth and status. In a 2002 New York magazine interview, Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy” and noted their shared interest in “beautiful women… on the younger side.” This quote, made before Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, reflects their camaraderie. They were photographed together at events in 1992, 1997, and 2000, often at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club or Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, surrounded by models and socialites.
Flight logs from Epstein’s private plane, the “Lolita Express,” show Trump flew on it at least seven times between 1993 and 1997, traveling between New York and Palm Beach. These flights, sometimes with family members, indicate a close social connection, though no illegal activity is documented. Epstein’s contact book listed multiple numbers for Trump, including Mar-a-Lago, suggesting regular communication. In 1992, Trump hosted a “calendar girl” event at Mar-a-Lago with Epstein as the only other male guest, alongside 28 women, a dynamic that raises eyebrows given Epstein’s later convictions.
Their relationship wasn’t purely social. In 2004, they competed to buy a Palm Beach property, Maison de l’Amitié, with Trump prevailing. Reports suggest a falling out around this time, possibly after Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior toward a member’s teenage daughter. Yet, a 2017 recording of Epstein, obtained by journalist Michael Wolff, claims he was Trump’s “closest friend for ten years,” hinting at a deeper bond.
Allegations add complexity. In 2021, a woman testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial that Epstein introduced her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14, though no misconduct by Trump was alleged. In October 2024, former model Stacey Williams claimed Trump groped her in 1993 at Trump Tower, describing it as a “twisted game” involving Epstein. Trump’s campaign denied this as false and politically motivated. While unproven, these accounts align with Epstein’s pattern of leveraging connections to powerful men.
Trump distanced himself post-2008, stating in 2019 he was “not a fan” of Epstein. Unsealed 2024 court documents mention Trump but don’t implicate him in crimes. Exaggerated social media claims about Trump’s involvement lack evidence, while some, like attorney Bradley Edwards, suggest Trump aided Epstein’s 2009 case, though details are scarce.
This connection, even if social, questions Trump’s judgment. It underscores the need for transparency and accountability in public life. We must demand clarity to ensure justice prevails.
Thank you.
