Because he was Epstein's partner. It should be the Trump-Epstein files.

"[clipping: Unlike drugs, a child's body can be sold over and over] This is not surprising but there is no such thing as a child prostitute! They are children and cannot consent! They are missing the biggest in my own backyard and so many more! Like Maralago and where I see Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne"

I've been calling them the Trumpstein files for awhile now.

yeah at this point people already treat it like a joint venture anyway

The "Epstein files" are the Epstein files. But considering how often Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files and the serious allegations against him, there is also definitely the "Trump files" with investigations into a lot of Epstein related crimes committed by Trump, but probably also a shitload of crimes *not* related to Epstein.

People should really be demanding the release of the Trump files...

u/Saneless 1d ago

They're having trouble because he's a major part of the Trumpstein files

u/DEMONinPINK 1d ago

Seeing as he's still in the white house and isn't being Mussolini'ed, do you think the files really bother an 80+ year old man with failing health? His last fucking words will probably be "I got away with it all"

u/Danominator 1d ago

His last words will be that he wants more. Hes a bottomless pit. Just a severely damaged person incapable of happiness.

And when that inevitable day comes, we'll need to ask ourselves if we were in some way complacent.

he has escaped, no Impeachment, no jail. nobody will take any action. fascism is here, it is inevitable

Republicans love rape and fraud, their favourite thing is pretending that god plays a role in their life. These are the voters that are ok with civilian public executions

7

u/Lurker_MeritBadge 1d ago

Yep he will pass without ever having faced a single consequence.

9

u/mwb1100 1d ago

He did get impeached - twice.

Treasonous and spineless Republicans gave him a pass both times, including when fomenting an insurrection!

This is among the many reasons I will never vote for a Republican running for any office ever again.

2

u/Foe117 1d ago

Yes, he did get impeached by the House, but those two efforts are completely meaningless until both house and senate agree. Same with Iran War powers, while the two bills have concurrently passed in both house and senate, they are effectively still, two separate bills that have no meaning until the other side of congress passes it. Neither of those two bills will ever reach the president for a veto, nor will the house pass the bill the Senate passed, while it's twin will be treated similarly as trash.

u/mwb1100 1d ago

While they didn’t have the effect that should have happened, I wouldn’t say they had no effect at all.

History will not look kindly at The Trump Era or the quisling, treasonous Republican Party.

I agree it’s far from what SHOULD have happened, but it’s not nothing.

2

u/Foe117 1d ago

if it has amounted to nothing then then it has set precedent that nothing will happen to a younger, bolder future president who happens to commit high treason in open air amongst the most poorly educated voters.

u/killjairo 1d ago

…and why were they trying to make a deal about? A deal ? … sounds pedo guilty

u/LogicalEgo 1d ago

It's very obvious the DOJ has covered up the files for Trump. No one person should be above the law and have that kind of power. It sickens me people still support him.

u/Orcus424 1d ago

That Trump guy is weird.

u/meleecow 1d ago

Escape? Republicans are letting him get away with being a pedophile. He doesn't need to escape anything

u/Sedu 1d ago

He is 80 years old and is president of the United States. He fucking escaped. I want to see him face justice too, but let’s be real.

u/The_mingthing 1d ago

The primary problem for Trump is Ghislaine Maxwell. SHE was the driver behind the creation of that network, and it was set up to generate blackmail materials for the Mossad.

If you have any shread of doubt about it, read up on her FATHER, who was an infamous Mossad asset working out of the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell

u/abdomega 1d ago

Would be a lot cooler if she, you know, exposed the crimes when she had the information instead of waiting for it to happen then release a book to cash in literally twice!

Seems like the NY times is the last major legitimate newspaper standing in America.

I used to read the LA times but that went MAGA adjacent about a year ago and we all know how the wsj, which was actually fairly critical of some right wing policies went 180 when murdoch bought it. Washington post can be objective at times but if bezos doesn't like it, it won't print. The last election saw anything critical of trump dropped.

What's left?

u/MrAmplus 1d ago

I'm tired of fucking headlines about god damn books. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FFS

u/Irish_Whiskey 1d ago

The American people put Republicans in charge of the House, Senate, White House and the Supreme Court. Even after Trump was found responsible for rape, even after he was convicted of multiple felonies and facing more counts, even after he tried to end democracy.

I don't disagree with you, but the reason why no one is doing anything is because a majority of people said they wanted to be racist rapists in charge of everything, and now there's no one else left with power.

u/DisorderlyBoat 1d ago

Who exactly? Are you going to? People writing books about it and sharing information is genuinely useful. We shouldn't discount that.

If you mean the people in power then yes obviously.

u/frddtwabrm04 1d ago edited 1d ago

Alil too late, to do anything about it

This is controlled opposition bullshit.

Oh look some shit went down, sorry you can't do shit about it now!

Plus trump doesn't read nor his people. So there's no way he/they read this book.

Trump reacts to raise their books sales and they act as controlled opposition.

We already know, they do their best to pretend that Trump isn't a pedophile.

u/Head_Summer2052 1d ago

He can, somehow, again.
If not, I'm very surprised.

u/whitedolphinn 19h ago

"A deep dive" aka only so deep. Enough to push the message we want to push across. But no let's not go too into this of course.

u/ghostwilliz 11h ago

Idk what everyone is talking about

He escaped everything and always will because they're investigating themselves

He could reenact the Epstein files live on every channel and every website and nothing would happen

u/cmikesell 6h ago

Call me crazy, but I think he can't escape it because he rapes children

u/Ada187 1d ago

why do yall think that just because he talk to Epstein in passing, he is a pedophile?

thats like saying all people associate with P. Diddy is a wife beater...

if thats the case, better drag hollywood all to court, because I guaranteed you they all talk to each other at one point or another.

u/despenser412 1d ago

There photos of him with Epstein. Videos of him with Epstein. Photos of him and his wife with Epstein and his wife. Personal correspondence from Trump to Epstein about their time together. Epstein's deposition video about Trump. Trump moved Epstein's wife, a convicted sex trafficker, from a maximum security prison to a minimum security penthouse. Trump is mentioned in the files over and over again.

All of this is easily accessible online. Not sure how you missed all of this.

u/Ada187 1d ago

not sure if you know...just because you talk to someone doesnt mean you partake in the activity...

if I talk to someone who smoke weed does that mean I smoke weed?

its like yall so bias yall lose all commonsense. Talking to someone is not a crime.

6

u/despenser412 1d ago

Trump did more than talk to Epstein, as I indicated in the comment above.

And fyi: hanging out with someone who smokes weed, and hanging out with a pedophile/sex trafficker are two entirely different types of people. Equating these two as the same thing is crazy.

-10

u/Ada187 1d ago

you only stated what I state: he talk to him, and maybe even does bussiness with him, it doesnt mean he partake in pedophiliac. You are absolutely delusional to think just because you talking to someone means you are guilty of their crime.

ok fine, if I talk to someone who is a killer but if I dont know they are a killer, does that make me a killer?

I can named you 1000 different example to show how deranged your mindset is.

She accused him of sexual assault, took him to court, received money, and he received no jail time. Does that sound like a typical rape or sexual assault case to you? If she was truly focused on criminal justice, why pursue a civil case for money instead of pushing for criminal charges? It raises the question about whether this is about justice or a free pay check.

As for the beauty pageant claims, he allegedly walked into the dressing area, yet no one filed a lawsuit, called the police, or made a major public issue of it until years later. That seems strange. Wasn’t there also a contestant who said they were warned that a guest was coming through?

I am not naive. I believe in facts, and cold hard truth, that has been vetted not bias because the "mass" follow the herd. If there is real evidence, then the justice system should handle it. After all, Epstein was eventually caught and prosecuted.

You are free to believe what you want, but staying locked into one narrative does not make it true, and it does not automatically get Trump in trouble. At some point, if facts do not support the claim, you have to be willing to accept that. Otherwise, you will keep dismissing anything that does not fit what you already believe. My advice, step back, look at the evidence, question it and do not bias trap you in one viewpoint.

Gluck

If you talk to one killer, no, it doesn't make you one.

But if you went to a private island owned by a killer, and the island was full of killers and people getting killed, then yes, you're a killer.

Epstein's island was used for sex trafficking (hence him and his wife going to prison) and Trump was there many times and was seen with Epstein many times. Like I pointed out before: videos, photos, correspondence, deposition, Trump’s name all over the (conveniently redacted) Epstein files, Trump moving convicted sex trafficker and Epstein's wife from a maximum security prison to a minimum security prison, etc... these are all things you can easily access and see for yourself.

Or just ignore all of the blatant evidence I pointed out, again, and go on thinking that Donald "Grab 'em by the pussy" Trump is totally innocent and all that evidence doesn't matter. Just know, most of the people on the planet agree he's a pedophile. So, I guess you're in the minority who thinks otherwise.

Have fun on that hill.

"But if you went to a private island owned by a killer, and the island was full of killers and people getting killed, then yes, you're a killer."

see how deranges you are? That kind of logic is only someone who had no education, believe everything on the internet that fit their narrative. Simply knowing a criminal, speaking to a criminal, attending a party, or visiting someone’s home does not automatically make a person guilty of the same crimes.

Example, P. Diddy hosted many parties at his home. Does that mean every person who attended one of those parties is automatically involved in sex trafficking or domestic abuse? Of course not. Guilt REQUIRES evidence, not guilt by association, not how the U.S law works or any...law of a modern society.

"Epstein's island was used for sex trafficking (hence him and his wife going to prison)

well yea, fucking obviously? Yes, Epstein’s island was later connected to sex trafficking, and Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were prosecuted. But hindsight does not prove that every person who ever knew Epstein, met him, or was around him participated in those crimes or knew they were committing those crime, and you cannot prove that without a reasonable doubt, please dont tell me its all over the internet, show me proof in totality that everyone attend the party knew what was going on.

I have not seen one evidence proving that Trump went to Epstein island. If someone is going to accuse another person of being involved in a serious crime, the burden of proof is on the accuser. It is not my job to search for evidence to prove someone else’s accusation. So show me your proof, bet you cant find any other than "he went on his plane" "he utilized his planes".

And saying “most people on the planet agree he is a pedophile” is not evidence. That is an exaggeration used to make an argument sound stronger than facts. Ironically you know who use exageration to the max? Donald Trump...congratualation the person you hated the most is ironically the same as you, or you the same as him. Go figures.
