And you can bet he’s regretting it. It always comes back to Epstein and his files. Trump likely thought he was being slick with this answer, and it actually said the completely *wrong* thing. He doesn’t watch what he says anymore. He just blurts out whatever word salad happens to be in his tiny little brain at the time. It lands him in hot water rather often, and then he has more word salad to clean up after what he said. And *that* still lands him in hot water, and the temperature is rising. We pay attention to what he says, at *any* time. This should have come out last night, but I fell asleep in my chair. And also very loopy, dammit. With appreciation to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump appeared to tell on himself during a press gaggle on Air Force One on Thursday, according to observers. Trump was asked by Peter Doocy of Fox News whether other associates of disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein should be arrested. The question came after Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested for his involvement in Epstein’s schemes. “I’m the expert in a way because I’ve been totally exonerated,” Trump said. “That was very nice. I can speak about it very nicely. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s so bad. I think it’s bad for the Royal Family. To me, it’s a very sad thing …”
Hah. Exonerated, my a$$. Not so fast, hero. He will be held accountable for what he did, even with redactions. The DoJ is not helping him even though they’re trying to shove Epstein out of the public view. It may be unnoticed for a while, but it’s going to come back. Trump is *definitely* in there. His “more than a million” could trip him up. And now, Blondi is telling us that they will not provide any more of the files, but what they have released thus far is but a drop in the bucket.
Last month, the Trump administration released the latest tranche of documents related to the FBI’s investigation of Epstein. The files contained several damning documents that called into question Trump’s previous comments about his relationship with the convicted sex criminal. Trump’s comments caused a stir on social media. “Making it about you when asked about Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal associates is telling on yourself.
WHAM. Trump opened his mouth and spewed out something he shouldn’t have. He can’t go backwards, so he’ll try to do The Weave to distract folks. It will work for a few moments and boom! We’re back to the Epstein files. Oh! The DoJ building now has a giant banner with Trump on it, so that’s official: the DoJ belongs to him. Most of the courts have buckled under him.
“There has literally never been a guiltier-sounding person,” Professor Adam Cochran posted on X. //// “Totally a normal answer you’d expect from someone who isn’t at all concerned,” Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic, posted on X. //// “This is totally how a completely uninvolved person would answer a question like this,” Doug Saunders, international affairs columnist for The Globe and Mail, posted on X. //// “I’m shocked to hear that Trump doesn’t think powerful men should face accountability!” political commentator Molly Jong-Fast posted on X.
Well done, folks!!! It’s so nice of them to lay out the information clearly. Essentially, Donnie Epstein has broken the cardinal rule called keep your mouth shut (unless you’re in a place where no one could hear it), because Trump told on himself. He was babbling away and not thinking about what he was saying. Somewhere, sometime, somehow, he will answer for his crimes. Right now, we just have to be patient. See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Sounds like he’s projecting that he’s simply a spoilt dunce, and entitled brat – separated from the reality of eventual consequences, that are slowly and inexorably gaining a momentum that is self-eroding his puffed-up self-importance and his corrosive entitled persona.
We knew that first sentence but the second? Oh, my, yes. It’s like he’s failing at being himself.
Hi, Susan. The comment by Post It Note consisted of one sentence, so what is the “second” sentence, which you say that “we” didn’t know?
Thank you.
Hello David! Nice to see you again! I was unclear. I should have said the second half of the sentence. I used the dash – as a period instead of a dash. My apologies.
