I do think the argument of "if he was in there we'd have already heard!" is a bit of a weird one? By that logic, no high profile Democrat is in the Epstein files either.
I'm not making that claim, I'm deducing from that claim.

Once again, that doesn't mean he isn't in the files and he didn't have a significant relationship with Epstein. I think it is foolish to say that unless there is direct evidence of Trump being a pedophile (which is very, very unlikely) that there isn't anything that is damaging. LOTS of people are in the files and with different levels of relationships with Epstein. It's just a bad look for Trump to be known to have his name mentioned in the files and also not releasing them while claiming that there isn't anything bad about him personally in them.nortex97 said:Yeah, pretty much, and as stated elsewhere Epstein's own attorney says it is false.Heineken-Ashi said:
I don't know what's going on.
If this is some secret gotcha plan, it would be crazier than most Q stuff. In fact, crazier than the majority of American history.
What's the most logical thing going on? Let's break it down.
- Trump campaigned very conservatively on cutting spending and fully backing DOGE to rid out the grift and corruption
- DOGE immediately exposed the deep state's primary tool in USAID, along with many other ridiculous instances of fraud, obvious abuse of taxpayer money, and straight up theft.
- Trump then immediately went into the craziest tariff scheme since the 1930's.
- All of this didn't just happen. It was planned for a long time.
- At the same time, Scott Bessent was very clear that his job was to bring bond yields down.
- Everything over the first two months can only be described a designed hit job on the economy. Their thought was that they could introduce complete turmoil into the global economy while flipping the light on all the roaches at the same time. That this would cause of a selloff in the markets and money would flock to bonds, just like always happens in every major market selloff.
- The selloff happened. It happened big. Nobody bought bonds. In fact, they started dumping them with force. The bond market called their bluff.
- With stock market tanking AND bonds taking while rocketing rates upward, all of the sudden the whole thing turned into "Trump caused global catastrophe". The interest on the debt was about to skyrocket, when their entire goal was to bring yields down to refinance ALL OF IT at lower rates. The opposite was happening.
- With literally no other options, next thing you get is a bunch of soft talk and peace deals.. a middle east tour.. and Trump and Bessent doing a complete 180 from everything Trump campaigned for to "we're going to re-inflate hard, but grow the economy even harder!"
- The only thing that explains that flip, if it wasnt a ruse to fool the public and international negotiators, is the fact that they had no choice.
- Now Elon is sitting there, having tarnished his reputation and worked his tail off, for free, trying to help lower the deficit and cut the waste from government, only for Trump to toss him aside and start a campaign of spending like crazy and re-inflating.
- Elon doesn't care about the Eurodollar financial system. He joined to cut spending. He dedicated every waking hour to it. Now not only was congress giving him the finger, but Trump and Bessent too.
- This likely points to more serious dysfunction in the admin.
- If rates arent back to 4% or lower by end of summer, Trump is going to take his campaign against Powell to another gear.
- If rates aren't ther eby next year, he will turn on Bessent next. The dude had one job.
If I'm being logical, this is the only thing that makes sense right now. And it's all about bond yields. The entire presidency is about bond yields. I say all of this as a Trump supporter who tries to avoid news and narratives. But nothing else makes sense.I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!

Trump has admitted to flying on Epstein's plane and I think probably the other way around. The story I remember was Trump took the plane with his family and members of Epstein's family to travel to or from Florida for easter or a holiday like that. I am sure if you have friends that live around you in NYC and have a house near you in Florida you take a trip with them like this regardless of if you both have your own plane.TAMUallen said:GMaster0 said:

Pick a narrative and stick to it.
It's delusional to say you have to "pick a narrative" in deciding whether he was telling the truth on a hot mic.
So we agree. Here's your sign
Just admit that Trump likes to grab ***** unsolicited. He literally admitted it on a recording. Can you admit that? Or are you so delusional that you have to play "8D chess" to find a way out of it. I truly don't get why MAGA can't call him a scumbag when he's a scumbag.

It's curious how interested maga folks are to parse out nuance of what "being on Epsteins list" means now that trump is rumored to be on them
Yall didn't seem to give anyone else the benefit of additional scrutiny of what that might mean before. It seemed like before it was pretty clear.

How can you say this with a straight face when MAGA controls all of government right now? If there was a single prominent Democrat on that list, it'd be on a gold-plated billboard next to Mar-a-Lago. Unless...
Incredible goaltending.
Wow. Elon Musk's tweet about Trump being in the Epstein Files was posted while Joe Rogan was interviewing Kash Patel. Patel was clearly caught off guard.

Um, Trump is all over the Epstein case. He was a close friend of Epstein and said so himself back in a very old New Yorker article- "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy," Trump told New York magazine. "He's a lot of fun to be with," Trump said. "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Victims testified at Maxwell's trial that they were recruited at Mar-A-Lago. There are dozens of photos of them partying together.
Anyone that doesn't think he's in "the files" are just delusional at this point. Put down the damn koolaide

I agree. The "Epstein files" is so vague I don't even know what point people are making.
I have not come across any information that definitively indicates Trump is a predator. Was he friends with a predator that trafficked children though? Yes. Did children get recruited on one of his properties? Yes. Was he aware of what Epstein was doing? I give Trump the benefit of doubt that he isn't that stupid.
The weird s*** he's said in the past doesn't help his case either. At the very least….he's a pervert that has openly sexualized teenage girls.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3130729-DOE-V-TRUMP/Quote:
Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties.On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff's pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.

very well could be, but it would be hard to reconcile that with the fact that the investigation found hundreds of burned CDs in a security office in his Manhatten apartment that had vidwo recording devices in every bedroom.swimmerbabe11 said:
