In the post, Trump attempted to distance himself from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, someone he has previously referred to as a close friend. This comes at a time when new revelations from recently released Epstein files show Trump rode on Epstein's private plane, dubbed the "Lolita Express," at least eight times. Other documents indicate Trump spent time at Epstein's home in New York City, and that the two men exchanged birthday pleasantries.
"Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to 'drop him like a dog' when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didnt know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife 'Republican,' Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with 'TRUMP,'" he wrote.
"The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election 'Reporting,' even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage," Trump wrote. "Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, thats the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!"

The escalating senile dementia makes it easier for him now.
Reality and past events are just fluid things to be fine-tuned, as far as he is concerned.
Jeffrey Epstein sits up in his grave and says 'not this time, Donald!'

(8,775 posts)"President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so"
So he must know about Epstein's co-conspirators (how else would he know they didn't "drop" Epstein?)
They're all Democrats? Then why is one of the few people who has been publicly identified as a co-conspirator of Epstein Les Wexner - a long-time mega-donor to the Republican Party?
Justice matters.

Seriously? How does that make any credible sense from a POTUS?!?

TRUMP DEFACES THEM.
He is possessed by Epsteins ghost.
He cant exorcise it, nor its deadly presence.
He hath brought many captives to Lolita Island,

(21,524 posts)His "charity" and his "university" both got shut down by the feds. He wrote checks without admitting guilt and then took a victory lap for being innocent.
Same thing happened with the housing discrimination suit in New York.
He raped E Jean Carroll and was accused of sexual assault by 26 other women. The court awarded damages to Carroll for defamation. So far, Trump has never paid one red cent, and he never will, and he'll get away with THAT.
All of the legal cases that were pending during his first term, and after, all GONE.
Six bankruptcies, and there's always been a bank to lend him money.
All of the dubious interactions with Russia and the Saudis.
Robert Mueller documented 10 instances of obstruction of justice. Bill Barr's 4-page "summary" concluded that there was no collusion, no obstruction.
I could go on all night with this, but I think the point is clear.
It's the first time he could not make something go away simply by denying that he did it.
He looks guiltier every day, and the more he does, the more panic is setting in.

(23,339 posts)Other than his reversal of fortune with Epstein which stands to destroy his monetary empire (and there is NOTHING but money, to make up for his complete lack of authentic self that is: a life entirely of projection),
His other actions are all to undo everything that Barack Obama and Joe Biden did. Obama for his takedown and Biden for beating him.
Projecting his weaknesses, fears, failures, and emptiness onto them.
And I mean EVERYTHING.
What a sorry sack of shit.

(21,524 posts)I think about kids sitting in a classroom, several generations from now...great-grandchildren, like that...and wondering how the HELL a TEACHER is going to EXPLAIN this. I wonder if the kids will just keep drilling down and asking questions to get to the "WHY" of it all, or they'll just consider it in the same way as the black plague...mass stupidity swept across America in an epidemic.
I don't know. I'm glad I won't be the teacher who's tasked with THAT nightmare assignment.

(21,524 posts)I'm thinking of Jim Carrey as "Edward Nigma" (the Riddler) in that Val Kilmer Batman movie, losing his mind when he imagines the bats are coming for him.
What we are all seeing right now is rage at the idea that Trump can't just make it go away with denials and projection. It always worked in the past. It's not working now. Doesn't mean he's not trying on a daily basis, but the more he leans into it, the more guilty he looks.
And we have no way of knowing if his inner circle goons like Miller are trying to talk him down from the ledge, or if they are HOPING he would jump, because on one hand, if the cult is deprived of their messiah, it's gonna be choppy waters for a while, but life would be MUCH EASIER and MORE PLEASANT for the people closest to him who have to kiss that fat ass 24/7 x 365.
