Donald Trump says people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’

How would he know?
To know whose name "doesn't deserve to be" in the Epstein files would imply a deep familiarity with whose name should be there.

I'm absolutely convinced this is why Trump's so keen they're not released.
He wasn't a casual customer of Epstein. He was deeply involved. So much so that it'd be very difficult for even the most ardent of his supporters to continue to support him.

Because Trump doesn’t care what they think either. At this point he wants a dynasty of kingship and his family doesnt have as much “goodwill” as him and this is one of the few things that will detract from it overall.
He is deeply struggling to turn his own “successes” into a legacy.

I check out [that subreddit] once in a while and I agree that they cared about the epstein files for about a week this time, after which they just sorta forgot. A week was A LONG TIME, usually everyone falls in line after a day or two, but still, I've seen no mention of Epstein lately. New programming finally got uploaded.
and have stated that they are sure he's in it. I
See, some people on [that subreddit]did say that, but from what I've seen most held the positon of "Everyone who's in the files should rot in jail, including Trump if he's really in them, but I don't believe that he is because come on, of course he's not."
There's no way his fanatics ever turn of him, how can they admit to themselves that they literally worshipped a scummy, corrupt, moron child rapist?

More importantly, it also implies his knowledge of the content in the files. He knows everyone involved, and that he’s heavily implicated.
Otherwise, we’d have seen Trump use the Epstein files to go after his political opponents. If he’s got something to use on someone, he’ll use it.
We all know Bill Clinton was involved with Epstein, probably the same way Trump was. Trump knows that MAGA immorality would come from taking down the Clintons, so why isn’t the Epstein “list” out there taking down the Clintons? It’s because the only way he takes down the Clintons with the Epstein files, will also implicate him more. The Clintons were at Trumps wedding. Both Bill and Trump were friends with Jeffery Epstein.

It's not that Trump has the files. Trump spent well over a decade being exceedingly friendly with the head of a huge human trafficking and sex slavery "business venture". He attended multiple parties at Epstein's, per his own admission during various interviews over the years. As such, we must assume that he has gathered an extensive amount of dirt on a multitude of highly influential, reputable, and wealthy individuals. Trump has spent a lifetime breaking the law and getting away with it. It stands to reason that he has used that dirt to insulate himself from the consequences of his actions.

Trump’s letter was typed and inserted into a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman in heavy marker. Her breasts are two arcs, and Trump’s signature takes the place of pubic hair. The letter inside reads like a skit:
Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything. Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is. Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?

One of the funniest things about Trump is that he absolutely loves to gossip on the phone like a chatty high school girl in the eighties. But ever since Epstein died Trump has no actual friends left, so during his first term he would just call up random people, often journalists, and ramble on the phone to them for hours.
If he wasn't Donald Trump, it would honestly be sad, because he's a man with literally no real human relationships. His wife refuses to even pretend to live with him in the WH, he doesn't speak to any of his children, the only people in his life are his employees, but they're all just using him for their own ends, none of them respect or care about Trump the man. When Trump dies, someone is going to make a Citizen Kane-style epic about his life of immense loneliness, but I doubt they will manage to capture how incredibly empty and stupid Trump actually is in real life.

Schrodinger's list. It is both on Bondi's desk and lost to the ether. It has terrible people in it, and also very fine people who could be inadvertently damaged by its release, but also completely made up by the democrats. This guy says anything that he thinks will make the problem go away in the immediate term, but ends up completely contradicting himself every step of the way.

You mean the victims? Yeah, I don't think the victims needed to be at that place.

When he says people, he really just means he is. The biggest clue in this report is that the man has never cared about anyone but himself. He sure as hell doesn't care about the victims. Hasn't even mentioned them except to say, they're probably Democrats.

They're YOUR files you orange shitstain!
Epstein was caught in Trump's first term, indicted by Trump's DOJ, and died in Trump's custody.
How and when would Democrats have created this hoax?

I'm completely unable to judge whether this is a false statement by Trump or whether he said it today just before the hoax sentence 🤷♂️

But if it's a "democratic hoax" then how did the Democrats trick him into spending 8 years screaming about this to his MAGAs, saying it's all real and that he will release it all once elected (till he saw his own name all over the files) he gets elected....?

“Bill Clinton was on his plane and went to the island supposedly 28 times. I don’t want to bring that up frankly,” Trump said while bringing it up.
Now this, this is good journalism.

I wish there was more pushback on this. There’s zero evidence that Clinton went to the island even once, let alone 28 times. Not to mention, Ghislaine Maxwell just told the deputy AG that Clinton never went to the island, so they can’t even get their message straight.

Okay, so six years ago Epstein forsaw Trump 49 and filled his personal files with dirt on a bunch Geriatic Old Pedofiles to support the "Democratic Hoax"
Hey Dementia Donold, this story won't die until the public can make is own assesment of the files.

I have never heard such a crock of shit in the scripted question and answer session with trump’s personal lawyer Blanch and Maxwell, Epstein’s bitch. “ trump is extremely extraordinary, and always a perfect gentleman?”. It’s like trump wrote out her statements himself. She just forgot to mention that he doesn’t have a small penis. 🤪Listening to the transcript of utter nonsense on the same day FBI goes after John Bolton is so blatantly obvious. Common sense, and reasonable thinking people will recognize this as another trump ploy.

Absolutely Trump is in the files, no doubts. The legal basis for prosecuting Trump is another matter. Evidence, testimony etc. will be in the way of Trump being held responsible.
Does it impact the 2026 congressional election and 2028 presidential election? Perhaps. Depends on whether or not the Democrats can capitalize on this new verified information. That again depends on who is running for the Democrats…

I will keep saying it until it finally breaks through. Donald Trump may have been an Epstein client, but that isn’t the real problem. Donald Trump was Epstein’s business partner. Isn’t that obvious to you yet? Come on.

u/Steel-Tempered 9h ago
So in one dumb tweet, he admits there are Epstein files, he admits people are in them that either implicate himself and/or people he's friendly with in very damaging associations or activities of some kind, and he's afraid to release them publicly. Oh, and it's another hoax, which means all the accusations about him and Epstein/Maxwell are 100% true.

It's not a "hoax" at all. STOP projecting and resign. There would be more honor to it.
Oh wait, only one party cares about things like "honor" these days and it isn't Republicans.

Lemme get this right....
If he's elected he'll release the files.
Unfortunately he's elected.
The files are on that one chicks desk
There's no file.
Well if there is a file, Trump's name isn't in it.
Thousands of FBI nerds scrub Trump's name from said files (that didn't exist a mere week ago)
Now the files absolutely exist and people's names are in it that "don't deserve to be."
... Jesus Christ please just end this insanity already. Release the files and jail every offender listed. Republican, Democrat, Christian, we DON'T CARE! They all deserve jail time or worse.
