We all know Trump is a creep, right? The kind of guy whose sexual misgivings should have landed him in jail a long time ago. There have been scores of credible accusations of sexual abuse levied against him, and based on those court proceedings, it was ruled that he could legally be called a rapist (read more here). Hell, he has been caught admitting to these heinous acts multiple times, from agreeing he is a sexual predator on the Howard Stern Show to his infamous “grab her by the pussy” remarks in 2005. We do not need the Epstein files to denounce him as a serious sexual threat and unfit to hold any position of power. But his pathetic attempts to cover this story up this week, from his constant floundering to his embarrassing slip-ups, have painted him out as the exact enemy his brainwashed supporters wanted to kill. In short, Trump hasn’t just dug his own grave — he has fallen into it, too.
On Monday, he claimed he kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club after Epstein “stole” young women from the spa to hire for himself. He confirmed one of these women was Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked and abused by Epstein when she was underage and recently died from a suspicious suicide. This implies that the women from the spa were also underage.
However, Trump wasn’t finished putting his swollen foot in his pouty mouth. The very next day, he stated that he “never had the privilege of going to [Epstein’s] island” but said that he had been invited and congratulated himself for turning it down. He then went on to claim that Clinton visited the island 28 times, an allegation that no public information has yet supported.
While all of this has been going on, Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney and Trump’s deputy attorney general, has been engaged in what can only be described as state-sanctioned witness tampering.
As part of the DOJ, Blanche has been meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell about the Epstein files. Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking for Epstein, has already been deposed and found untrustworthy due to her recurrent lies and manipulation during her trial. Given this, Blanche has no credible reason to have these meetings with her.
Maxwell and her family have been trying to gain Trump’s favour to secure a deal, even calling him a “master dealmaker”. Ideally, she would like her conviction to be overturned as the result of a presidential pardon — which, unsurprisingly, is highly illegal.
If Trump fails to release the Epstein files, Maxwell is his only other lead. If he can get her to claim that he did nothing wrong in exchange for a pardon, it could clear his name. But hashing out this deal, as Blanche is doing, before her testimony, which undermines her testimony, is witness tampering, and is insanely illegal!
Okay, this is a lot to process, and all of these accidental admissions and openly corrupt behaviours are intertwined and surprisingly hard to pick apart. So, let’s go through this logically and get a better picture of what is going on.
Let’s start with the fact that Trump allowed underage girls to work at his spa. That isn’t just illegal from a labour rights point of view, but it is also highly inappropriate, and points to Trump’s own questionable proclivity to sexualise underage women.
But Trump wasn’t angry that Epstein took them explicitly to be abused. No, he didn’t show any remorse for what happened to these girls. Instead, he used words like “took” and “stole,” as though he had ownership of them. Like they were his to abuse, not Epstein’s. I am not saying that is what Trump had planned; rather, this is what the language he used implies.
Epstein had also been accused and publicly investigated for child sexual abuse before Trump kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. So, Trump allowed a suspected child predator to frequent his spa, filled with underage women in vulnerable positions. You could either consider that a callous disregard for safety or Trump enabling Epstein’s depravity–or more disturbingly, both.
Then there is the fact that Trump thinks it is a “privilege” to be invited to a child sexual abuse island. If that isn’t a Freudian slip, I don’t know what is. It strongly suggests that he thinks of Epstein’s island as some kind of exclusive club.
Let’s also address the fact that Epstein kept this sordid operation relatively well hidden for years. He would have only invited someone to the island if he knew they were going to play ball and avoid ratting him out. Being invited meant the biggest child predator in the world was confident you were one too.
What about Trump’s painfully obvious tell? Whenever he lies, he tends to congratulate himself on that lie. You know, like him claiming he is cutting the deficit, then after a quick pause, doubling down and claiming that he is cutting it more than anyone else and that everyone loves him for it, even though the deficit is soaring. Honestly, Trump would be crap at poker because he uses this weird double-down to cover up his lies constantly. And he did that here too. He claimed he didn’t have the privilege, then that he turned down the invite (which meant he did have the privilege), then congratulated himself for turning it down. It’s a textbook example of his tell and raises a colossal red flag that he might be lying here.
The only way to verify if his statement is true or false is the Epstein files. And Trump obviously knew that because, almost in the same breath, he claimed Clinton had visited the island 28 times. That isn’t public knowledge. In fact, the only way Trump could have known that was if there was an Epstein client list and Trump had read it. You know, the list that all of a sudden “doesn’t exist”, the list that Trump is actively calling a Democrat hoax, even though it was collated under his first term, and the list that he was informed he was heavily implicated in months ago. Yeah, Trump just confirmed the existence of the client list.
But wait, if Clinton is on there a whopping 28 times, why isn’t Trump releasing the files? Being able to charge Clinton for these horrific crimes would strengthen Trump’s support base enormously. His followers could see him finally “draining the swamp”, just as he promised. In other words, Trump has openly admitted he has every reason to release the files. This heavily suggests that these files don’t just name Trump but implicate him in ways that outweigh the benefit of putting one of his major political rivals behind bars. Take a moment to think about that.
To top it all off, why is Trump attempting to tamper with a known unreliable witness? Sure, she will be receptive, but it will be a wholly useless testimony.
Furthermore, if you are being accused of being a paedophile within Epstein’s ring, why would you openly suggest pardoning the very person who sex trafficked for that ring and cut a “deal” with them? That is by far the easiest way to make yourself look guilty.
Moreover, if Maxwell does testify that Trump did nothing wrong and is given a pardon, then there will be no excuse not to release the Epstein files. This doesn’t clear his name — it just delays condemnation. If Trump continues to hide the files, then it will strongly suggest that he is covering for an institutional predator ring. Considering how most of his base are QAnon nutters, those optics are deadly for Trump’s hold on power. Even the QAnon shaman that Trump pardoned has disowned him for this.
Trump is all about optics. It’s big, flashy distractions over here, while he picks your pockets over there. He is a moron, but he is a master at selecting the ideal optics for his ends. And that is how we can see beyond all of this and figure out what is actually going on.
Trump knows how bad all of this makes him look, how deeply it has fractured his base, how it has unravelled his carefully constructed narrative, and how damaging it has been to his hold on power.
But he also knows how bad the Epstein files make him look. And he is choosing to take this wildly damaging path, rather than just releasing the files.
So, what could possibly be in those files? What is so damning that Trump has elected for this disaster instead? It’s almost like these files implicate Trump in some of the worst crimes imaginable.

Those files are his blackmail gold mine - they are how he’s forcing a lot of powerful people to do what they are told. If the files get released his leverage goes away.
EFF THE ORANGE MONSTER WHO IS A RAPIST AND PEDOPHILE!!!
