Trump's Epstein Scandal is Not Going Away





'Fear': Epstein prosecutor fired by Trump issues warning letter to ex-colleagues








Trump Fumes at Epstein Mess as Polls Reveal Big GOP Revolt

 

"President Donald Trump is in an absolute fury over his inability to stop MAGA from talking about the Jeffrey Epstein files. He unleashed a furious, manic tirade on Truth Social over it, and then rambled bizarrely about it to reporters for over a minute straight. None of it’s working. Striking new polls—one from Quinnipiac and the other from CNN—show wide public dissatisfaction with the whole Epstein fiasco. Critically, both polls show large chunks of Republicans are also unhappy about it, suggesting his efforts to shut this down aren’t working. But something deeper is going on here. Trump is also revealing a level of contempt for MAGA that’s unusual even for him. His anger seems primarily rooted in his inability to simply command them to think whatever he tells them to think."

TRUMP COULDN'T REMEMBER THAT HE APPOINTED JEROME POWELL TO HEAD THE FED

 

Trump was accused of ‘slowly losing it’ as latest signs of ‘dementia’ unravel sparking health worries 

"The president forgot names, showed confusion over who was with him at the event, and appeared to fabricate stories that could not possibly be true.

 Donald Trump claimed his uncle had taught the future Unabomber at MIT, despite the domestic terrorist never having attended the university.

President Donald Trump's cognitive decline was called back into question during a rambling speech in Pittsburgh Tuesday, during which he forgot names and told stories that were very unlikely to be true.

At one point, however, he claimed that his uncle, a physicist who helped create radar systems during World War II, taught future "Unabomber" terrorist Theodore Kaczynski at MIT, none of which had actually happened.

 Kaczynski never attended MIT, but rather received degrees from Harvard and the University of Michigan. Even if John Trump had once crossed paths with Kaczynski, he could not have known he would commit 16 bomb attacks between 1971 and 1995, as John Trump died in 1985, years before he was identified as the Unabomber. 

 He also forgot who from his team had come with him on the trip to Pittsburgh, mistakenly gesturing to Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District Dan Meuser, who was not present at the event. “I want to introduce Dan Meuser. Dan Meuser is here,” Trump said. “Where’s Dan?”

During his speech, Trump...also claimed that he had secured $16 trillion in investments in the economy, despite the U.S. economy totally just under $30 trillion.”




And finally, a shocking example of his mental decline:


"...during a rant in which he brutally criticizes Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump forgets that he appointed him, saying "I'm surprised he was appointed. I was surprised that Biden put him in." 


(Trump appointed Powell on November 2, 2017, and former President Biden reappointed him in May of 2022. Why doesn't Trump's staff insist on prepping him before he goes before cameras and the American people and shows his mental deterioration? 

How bad must Trump's mental state be for him NOT TO REMEMBER that he himself appointed Powell? 

Where's Jake Tapper now on this egregious show of Trump's failing cognitive abilities? 

Do people actually think Trump's in charge? Really?

A REMINDER

 











They photoshopped him out of the final picture.


If only...











By now you must have heard how Trump behaved after Chelsea beat Paris Saint Germain in the World Cup finals.

After presenting the winning team its trophy, Trump refused to leave the stage where the Chelsea team was ready to enjoy a well-earned victory celebration. Trump, ever the malignant narcissist, after being signaled by FIFA head, Gianni Infantino, to leave the stage to the winning team, instead stayed and inserted himself as part of the celebration with which he had nothing to do.

(It is customary for the head of state to present the winning team with the trophy AND THEN LEAVE the stage so that the winning team can enjoy the attention and limelight earned because of its amazing win.)

But this is America with a petty, jealous little man-child as its head.


But wait, there's more!


Later, we found out that Trump took the original trophy that the Chelsea team won and has it on display in the Oval Office. A replica of the original trophy will be given to the winning team.

Get that? Trump, who is not the president of the country which the winning team, Chelsea, is from, grabbed the original trophy for himself and his glory, and the winning team merely gets a copy!

(Even though the linked article reports that Infantino offered the trophy to Trump for him to keep in the Oval Office, a gracious POTUS would have declined the gesture and made sure it went home with the winning team. But Trump is the extreme opposite of "gracious," and Infantino knew what he was doing by brown-nozing Trump before the World Cup comes to the US next year.)

What a disgrace for the world to witness!

WHAT CHANGED HIS MIND?

 






History will NOT be kind to Trump's supporters (many are abandoning him because of his 180 on the Epstein files). MAGA refuse to see him for the criminal, liar, cheat, fraudster, sexual predator and pal of Epstein that he is/was. Trump and Melania partied with child rapist Epstein and his procurer, Maxwell, for years. 

Photos of them together are all over the internet. 

There's a reason Bondi lied about the list:

Trumpism: The Age of Moral Numbness

 

"There’s a question that’s been bugging me for nearly a decade. How is it that half of America looks at Donald Trump and doesn’t find him morally repellent? He lies, cheats, steals, betrays, and behaves cruelly and corruptly, and more than 70 million Americans find him, at the very least, morally acceptable. Some even see him as heroic, admirable, and wonderful. What has brought us to this state of moral numbness?" -- David Brooks, The Atlantic 


*****************************************************


If someone wants to tell me Trump’s a ‘good’ person, I just ask what his ‘good’ qualities are -- greed, hate, envy, jealousy, pettiness? -- always blaming others, etc.?  If you’re convinced he’s a ‘good’ person, it’s likely because you share his qualities.

 IMO, Trump speaks the language of an abuser. I know it well and so do others. If you don’t recognize the words he chooses to use as abusive, then you are one of two things:  also an abuser or someone who has experienced abuse but hasn’t come to terms with it yet. 

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
