IT’S HARD TO imagine a worse moment for Donald Trump to be caught in the Epstein dragnet than at the tail end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with food benefits rattled, “affordability” on everyone’s minds, and his own voters starting to wonder if the guy in the red tie is actually on their side.
On the same day Trump finally signed a bill to reopen the government after 43 days of chaos, a coalition of House Democrats and Republicans dropped a tranche of Jeffrey Epstein emails that punches holes straight through the president’s carefully curated story about a distant, long-ago acquaintance, with Epstein alleging Trump “knew about the girls” and “spent hours at my house” with one of the victims.
While the messages don’t show criminal conduct by Trump, they landed at a moment when Americans are already furious with his handling of Epstein’s files, the shutdown, and the basic question of whether their government works for the powerful or for everyone else. Together, they form a pincer around a president who keeps promising transparency and law and order, then flinching the second those promises threaten him personally.
No it won’t. They’re already making excuses for the pedophile
Where does this optimism come from? All evidence to the contrary. His base knows he’s a criminal scumbag already. They think it’s cool. Please come back to this comment and downvotes it in the future if I’m wrong. I hope I am, but I’m not.
I want to see that rapist squirm in embarrassment but what about the fucking ACA funding? Seriously, we need healthcare
Idk, there will be a lot of holdouts that will quietly change their opinions about all this overnight and continue supporting him.
I have a MAGA relative that was very much in the camp of Epstein leading a pedo cabal (of Democrats!) and that he didn’t kill himself (Democrats/Soros did it!!!). Then, as more evidence came out, they got quiet for a while. Then, just a few days ago, I see them now calling all this “The Epstein Hoax.”
They will justify and rationalize ANYTHING for Trump.
I’d kind of imagine that he’s not developing these ideas on his own, that rather some media that he’s consuming is providing him with them.
It’s weird and disturbing that the headline is probably true.
If the world made sense, it would be more than enough that he is, right now, moment-to-moment, obviously deeply mentally ill and wantonly destructive - a grotesquely corrupt pathological liar, vindictive narcissist, and raging sociopath who blatantly has done and is doing more harm to the US than any president at least in the modern era and quite possibly ever.
How has that not already been enough? I don’t think I’ll ever really understand that.
We could have the pee tape and 80% of his supporters would call it fake. His supporters don’t live in reality.
Neither do you when you think of them as a nebulous hive minded other.
I once had an interaction with a coworker who was saying something about the news. Something about the Proud Boys (not important). I mentioned a news article I’d just read about them. Coworker said he didn’t believe it. So I offered to show them the article. And he said, “even if you show me the article I still won’t believe it.”
It’s still just so baffling that this same base that supports Pedonald could also be so obsessed with his best friend Epstein.
I mean, I know they like to tie themselves into knots in support of their ideology, but this one just defies belief.
No. Trump voters get hard when children enter the room. All 100% of them. Change my Mind.

46% of women voted for Trump in 2024
Honey, women get erect. They also molest children. Perhaps if you were to ever pleasure a woman, you would know that—well, one of those things… I hope.
I think there’s a couple things. Him blowing Clinton might turn them away faster than…the party that constantly fights to lower the marriage age happening to harbor pedos…
The thing is, you’re right, despite the him blowing Clinton probably being humour based on Lewinsky and not something that actually happened. But the image will still get stuck in his base’s minds, as it seems like something a pedophile would do without a second thought (which was likely the point of the original joke).
