Trump is likely not in the Epstein files because why would he have even tried bringing so much attention to the issue in the first place and risk getting exposed. Trumpās admin likely isnāt releasing any lists because they probably realize that so many politicians from both parties are on the list that releasing it would create a huge firestorm and crash the government
He didnāt try bringing attention to it, his campaign surrogates did, if you look even in interviews during the election cycle he personally was cagey when asked about it And heās definitely in the files, Epstein was one of his best friends for years, that doesnāt mean heās implicated in them but heās definitely in them
Being in the files means youāre a s*xual predator client of his, unless this āclient listā is of anyone heās ever been associated with. Trump and Epstein were friends but they had a falling out when Trump kicked him out of his country club because Epstein hit on a memberās teenage daughter. And this is according to an anti-Trump book called The Grifterās Club. Also, he was one of the first people to say how guys like Epstein and Prince Andrew were shady back in 2015 and very much was bringingā¦
It was Dems saying how there was no list and how it was a conspiracy theory being peddled by right-wingers to smear Democratic politicians and left-leaning Hollywood stars. And then as soon as Trump announces heās not releasing any list then the parties literally switch sides on the issue because they see it as an opportunity to smear Trump. The Biden admin had four years to release any lists but they didnāt either, probably for the same reason: too many politicians (including some allies)ā¦
Being in a client list means youāre a sexual predator client of his, being in the files does not Trump kicked Epstein out of his club because he hit on his club memberās daughter, yes, becauss that crossed a line for Trump. He was very well aware of what Epstein, who he had been close friends with, was doingāhe joked about Epstein liking women āon the younger sideāāand he only took issue with it once it implicated his business
If you look at what Trump himself was actually saying during the campaign, not what his surrogates were saying of what Fox edited clips of to make it look like he was saying, Trump loosely said yes maybe but he was always cagey about releasing the Epstein files. Even in the Fox interview he said itās not the same as with the JFK files and he brought up that people could be wrongfully accused or something in there and that theyād look into the files but he wanted to focus on other ones
So Trump thinks heās in the files? Trump knew he liked younger women given he was seen with them but when he knew that he hit on someone underage that is was crossed the line. If Trump was worried about being implicated, why wouldnāt he have cut ties as soon as he found out what Epstein was doing, because him hitting on a teenager isnāt the issue, thatās not even scratching the surface of Epstein sex-trafficking ring
He still very much brought the issue to the forefront, watch the many clips of him speaking about the issue. The whole reason this even became a thing was because of what Trump was saying in 2015. That doesnāt mean he didnāt want people who were in the files but not on the client list to be wrongfully dragged down to. Now he realizes so many politicians are in it that itāll blow up in everyoneās face, though he should still release the files are press charges on anyone who was a client
I donāt think Trump was a direct client of the pedophilia but I do think that Epstein had dirt on him and that whatever piece of evidence they had they could release that theyād been calling a client list is one that implicates or threatens Trump in some way, and that his about shift on and anger over this is due to him not seeing a way to release it without doing so. Epstein claimed he introduced Trump and Melanie, there are lots of ways they could be implicated here
Trump knows whatās in the files at least loosely, thereās a reason the administration was saying they were going to release a āclient listā until they reviewed the files, and then abruptly shifted Itās possible that Trump himself isnāt in there and itās about other Republican power brokers, but his reaction suggests he at least has some presence in there, and given he was best friends with Epstein for years I imagine Epstein had some dirt on him even if it wasnāt pedophilia-related
Trump wouldāve known though what dirt Epstein had on him though, especially if it was pedo related because Trump would known if he was using Epsteinās exploitative sexual services which is why this sudden shift is probably because he saw there was more to the files than he thought including allies in the files
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that Trump and Epstein were friends when Epstein was doing what he did since before their fallout and while Epstein introduced his women as escorts, perhaps Trump had an idea of what was going on and perhaps the details of files might make it seem like Trump had an idea what Epstein was doing but didnāt do anything about it. But even that flies in the face of Trump booting Epstein from his club over an incident most people have no clue of
It doesnāt fly in the face of Trump booting Epstein out of his club. He didnāt do anything about it as long as it wasnāt at his business, when it was that was probably a bridge too far for Trump That also doesnāt mean that was the cause of their falling out, Iām sure it played into it but reportedly the biggest thing was when Trump outbid Epstein for a mansion in Palm Beach Epstein also claimed heās the one who introduced Trump and Melania, although I wouldnāt consider him a reliable source
Itās also very possible that Epstein facilitated a sexual assault by Trump of a woman who wasnāt underage, since he did that too, and that the files contain dirt on that But itās kind of hard to argue Trump didnāt know about Epstein when he joked about him liking women āon the younger sideā
