You Shouldn't Be Surprised
When did you first think, “Oh god, Trump might actually have severe dementia”? I half suspected it for a while. But it was his 2024 presidential campaign that finally convinced me he did. MAGA leaned into the idea that Trump would unleash the Epstein files and take down the “deep state”, and Trump doubled down on this angle, even repeatedly claiming he would release the Epstein files. It was as if he had totally forgotten that he and his grubby little “grab them by the pussy” fingers have a long and sordid history with Epstein and Maxwell. And, doubling down on this narrative only backed him into the corner — he would either be forced to expose himself or make a dramatic U-turn on the only campaign promise that every American across the political spectrum agreed with. He didn’t even need this promise to win; it wasn’t his leading policy after all and wasn’t the main reason people voted for him. So, Trump set his own suicidal trap for no measurable gain whatsoever. But, despite the media’s shock that Trump is unsuccessfully trying to cover up the Epstein issue and cajoling us all to move on, we should have known this was coming from day one.
Let’s get something out of the way first: Trump is legally a rapist. E. Jean Carroll publicly accused Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1995. Carroll was unable to take legal action over this incident, as the statute of limitations had already passed. But Trump publicly denied the allegations and slandered Carroll, calling the case “a hoax and a lie” and a “complete con job”. This allowed Caroll to sue Trump for defamation in 2022, which she eventually won. Then, Trump and his legal team stated that the success of her case didn’t prove him guilty of rape before once again slandering Carroll and stating that he never sexually assaulted her. So, she took Trump to court again, and not only did she win, but the judge spelled it out in simple terms that Trump is legally considered a rapist.
Again, it shouldn’t be that surprising. Greedy capitalists, fascists and rapists all have a similar philosophy: “My might is right.” And Trump is the personification of all three of these traits.
So even if Trump wasn’t directly intertwined with Epstein, we should still recognise him as a sexually abusive criminal.
But we have known for a while now that he was deeply involved with Epstein, given that Trump’s name repeatedly appears in the small number of documents released in connection with Epstein’s crimes.
In 2009, Epstein’s personal “black book” contained 14 different phone numbers to contact Trump, Melania, and Trump’s staff.
In 2010, the late Virginia Giuffre publicly disclosed she was recruited into Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring by Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club while working there in 2000.
Trump appeared eight times on Epstein’s released flight logs. These flights took place between 1993 and 1997, and Epstein was on board every flight. While these flights didn’t go to Epstein’s infamous island, it is nonetheless suspicious. After all, Trump had his own private plane during this period — he didn’t need to use Epstein’s.
This is particularly concerning when you remember the “calendar girl” incident. Trump had partnered with George Houraney to host a VIP calendar girl competition at Mar-a-Lago in 1992, and Houraney had flown in two dozen young girls for the event. It was only when he and the girls arrived did they discover that the only other guests were Trump and Epstein. That alone would be suspicious, but Houraney had actually warned Trump about Epstein before the event. In 2019, Houraney stated that he previously told Trump, “Donald, I know Jeff really well. I can’t have him going after younger girls” and that “I wouldn’t put my name on it and have a scandal.” In other words, Trump was warned of Epstein’s paedophilia and still decided to carry on with this depraved event and frequent his plane.
Then there are the tapes released by Michael Wolff, who interviewed (and recorded) Epstein in 2017 as part of his Trump biography, Fire and Fury. On the tapes, Epstein bragged about how close he was to Trump, even saying that he was Trump’s closest friend for ten years and that the first time Trump slept with Melania was on his plane. Trump met Melania in 1998, so if this claim is true, it means Trump frequented Epstein’s plane for longer than the flight logs would suggest. Fascinatingly, Epstein also said that Trump had a cuck fetish and liked to sleep with his best friend’s wives. I mean, I hate to kink shame, but that just sums up Trump’s broken mentality, doesn’t it?
It’s important to remember that this interview took place during Trump’s first presidency, and the book was expected to be published halfway through his first term. Epstein had already received a mysterious and highly suspicious ‘sweetheart’ non-prosecution deal. He knew how to cosy up to those in power to save his own skin. He could have easily said he didn’t know Trump at all and courted Trump to step in and save his arse. But Epstein didn’t; instead, he shat on Trump from a great height. This doesn’t prove the claims he made were true, but it gives some weight to his statements.
Regardless, at some point, Epstein and Trump fell out. But it wasn’t in response to Epstein’s heinous actions; instead, it related to property — because, of course, it did. In 2004, the pair fought over a waterfront property, and the relationship quickly deteriorated. But, despite this, and despite open investigations and public accusations of Epstein’s paedophilia from 2006 onwards, Epstein remained a member of Mar-a-Lago. Documents released in the 2010s showed that Epstein was only banned from Mar-a-Lago in 2007, and insiders stated this was because he sexually harassed a member’s teenage daughter. This ban occurred just months before Epstein’s first conviction and prison sentence. So, Trump happily allowed an accused sexual predator, whom he had already fallen out with, to roam his private club for several years.
If all of that wasn’t enough to make you highly suspicious of Trump, then let me remind you of the 2016 “Jane Doe” case in which an unnamed woman accused Trump and Epstein of raping her in 1994 at Epstein’s Manhattan house when she was just thirteen years old. Sadly, the case was dropped abruptly, with the attorney, Lisa Bloom, citing “numerous threats” against her client and her client’s reasonable fear of these threats.
It might be easy to adopt a misogynistic view of this woman in order to brush off her case, such as believing that she was only seeking recognition or angling for a big pay-out. But that narrative is bollocks. For one, less than 40% of rapes are ever reported. Why? Well, only 1.8% of rape cases in the US lead to a criminal conviction, and only 1.5% lead to incarceration. This is despite the fact that multiple studies have found that less than 6% of rape allegations are false, with the vast majority of these cases being found to be false before any criminal proceedings are undertaken. In other words, proving a rape, even in “normal” conditions, is incredibly difficult, let alone if the accused is rich and powerful and has the best lawyers in the world. This is why Diddy walked free. E. Jean Carroll is a complete outlier here, and that is why her story is so important. The fact that Jane Doe could find legal representation to take this case to court heavily suggests she had substantial evidence, as the deck was significantly stacked against her.
And don’t forget, Trump harassed and attacked Carroll during their trials and has an extensive history of threatening and smearing his traumatised survivors. It is also heavily suspected that Epstein used his sex trafficking to blackmail people of influence. With this context, the idea that Trump and Epstein could threaten Jane Doe to the point of withdrawing her claim is, at the very least, plausible.
Then there is Epstein’s deeply suspicious “suicide” while under arrest and on suicide watch.
The MAGA narrative is that the Democratic-aligned deep state killed Epstein to prevent him from outing Democratic politicians as paedophiles. However, this is merely a wild and completely unfounded conspiracy theory. Don’t get me wrong; there is a possibility that the Epstein files could expose Democratic politicians. But Trump has proven there isn’t a deep state. If there were, he would have launched an investigation and arrested those responsible in his first term. And that never happened.
The next logical step would be to consider who was in power when Epstein was under arrest and who would benefit from him disappearing. Well, in 2019, Trump was president, and as we have covered, he is almost certainly implicated in the Epstein files. Moreover, Michael Wolff’s interview demonstrated that Epstein seemed ready to throw Trump under the bus.
If Epstein’s death is suspect, it’s Trump who we should be suspicious of. After all, the only action he has taken recently is to publicly incriminate himself.
The Epstein files and the client list were on Pam Boni’s desk ready to be approved for release just a few weeks ago, and now, apparently, they no longer exist. Interestingly enough, Boni was Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 and could have tried Epstein for his paedophilia crimes at any time during this tenure but didn’t. Kash Patel, Trump’s head of the FBI, also released “raw” video of Epstein in prison that was supposed to prove he committed suicide. Yet the video doesn’t show his cell, nor the entrance to the cell, and in fact only shows a few pixels of the stairs leading to the floor of Epstein’s cell. Afterwards, it was discovered that a minute of footage had been deleted, but Boni reassured the public that this was just the CCTV system resetting. Unfortunately, an investigation revealed that the footage had been edited, including the removal of three minutes of footage!
While all of this was occurring, Trump began to get visibly angry at reporters and even his own supporters asking questions about Epstein and the Epstein files, despite one of Trump’s big promises to MAGA during his campaign being to release these classified files (with the victims redacted, of course). He even tried to suggest that the Epstein files were fabricated by the Democrats, despite the fact that they were discovered and collected during his first term.
It’s almost like Trump, the White House, and the FBI are actively working to cover up the Epstein files. With all the context we have just discussed, I wonder if we can add one and one together and think of who they might be trying to save here…
But it’s not just us that can read between the lines — so can Republican lawmakers. Despite the fact that these files could expose some of their highest-ranking politicians, House Democrats moved to force the release of the Epstein files (with the child sexual abuse images and the identities of victims redacted), but Republicans unanimously voted against the motion. Why? They don’t know what the Epstein files contain, and if Trump isn’t incriminated by them, releasing them is the best way to clear his name. Meanwhile, the MAGA movement, which has been propelling Republican power, is splitting and fracturing over this issue. The only reason they would want to keep the files hidden is because they suspect Trump has committed heinous acts with Epstein and wants to cover everything up so he, and they, can retain power.
We shouldn’t be surprised by any of this. We knew Trump was a rapist. We knew he and Epstein were close. We knew he was a fascist with a fetish for dominating people of all ages, creeds and genders. We knew he was a slimeball capable of wriggling away from accountability with a near-infinite supply of fall guys. No one should be surprised by any of the recent revelations. However, the silver lining here is that this is enough to shock those brainwashed by Trump and MAGA to bring them back to reality. Major cultural leaders in the MAGA movement are turning against Trump over the Epstein files, such as Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, Rob Schneider, Roseanne, and Elon Musk, just to name a few. There is already a sizeable anti-Trump movement in the US. Hopefully, the Epstein sledgehammer could be enough to topple Trump’s rule once and for all.

This isn’t dementia. In fact, nothing good can come from giving him a diagnosis. Like Hitler, his cronies are criminals, like himself, and many share his perversions, or have their own, to be sure.
Bondi probably has a copy of the list somewhere, as an insurance policy. Don’t you think Rudi Giuliani and others wished they’d kept an insurance policy, instead of trusting tRump? Bondi may very well be a cut above Rudi. Or not.
At any rate, it is likely that in the future her license to practice law will be challenged, potentially removed, for her conduct in the AG’s office. For that reason alone, she must have kept a copy of the list. Why? Because many powerful men in NYC and on the Coast are on that list, theoretically - Democrats, Republicans, and Moguls. The list does not lose its value when Drump succumbs to water on the gonads.
It seems that Bondi, Patel and others charged with Justice are on the side of Injustice. When a serial liar says "there's nothing there" you can damn well be sure there is LOTS there.
