Of course, they party together
Recently, Trump has come under scrutiny due to his close ties with Epstein. Trump is afraid to release the Epstein files, files that were gathered before Epstein was arrested and compiled by the FBI. Since Epstein’s death, there has been growing concern that the Trump administration is trying to protect the integrity of his presidency.
Epstein was undoubtedly part of the elite circles in the 1990s, surrounded by the rich and famous. Trump was among them, and there are pictures of the two standing and talking together. Epstein’s island is not a myth; it is a real island where elites partied and where sex trafficking of minors allegedly took place. Epstein’s death is not a tragedy, but a cover-up intended to protect the identities of wealthy and powerful individuals.
Epstein did not commit all these crimes alone; he had help from friends with the resources and infrastructure to guide him through the system and to beat the judicial process. Epstein’s background made him believe he was immune to consequences, assuming that connections in high places would protect him from legal repercussions. One distinction between Epstein and Diddy is that Diddy embraced a street mentality where snitching is forbidden, whereas in Epstein’s world, snitching was common, and that may be why his life was cut short.
Trump’s affiliation with Epstein was based on both business and personal dealings. Trump is a shrewd businessman, and Epstein provided financial advice through his professional role. Both men sought to make money, spread misinformation, and expand their influence in America by building relationships with global elites, including heads of state and monarchs. They both achieved this, but Trump was calculated, while Epstein took risks and made public statements with threatening overtones. Their bond also included a shared sense of humour, as both have been seen making sexual jokes and discussing global economic matters.
Best friends often make such jokes because they understand one another and share similar humour. There is little doubt that Trump and Epstein were friends, perhaps even close friends. At nearly every party Epstein attended, Trump was also present. Their friendship was rooted in business and wealth, but it was also driven by deeper, more personal desires.
Trump’s reluctance to publish the Epstein files makes him appear more guilty than ever. Many speculate that Trump wants to avoid tarnishing his reputation and becoming the first president linked to a known sexual predator. He may attempt to remove his name from Epstein’s files, as he is fully aware that Epstein’s island was not a hoax, but a real location where elites indulged their sexual preferences.
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, reportedly warned Trump earlier this year that his name appears in a large volume of documents, and it may not be excluded. They were close friends, and more importantly, Trump may have been involved in the activities Epstein orchestrated. That is why he is now suing Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal.
Trump fears that Epstein may have mentioned his name on a wiretap or that an unethical business deal could be exposed. Regardless, these documents will eventually be released, and Trump will have nowhere to hide. If they are not released during his administration, that administration too will bear responsibility. Even MAGA supporters are demanding the release of the documents; they want to know whether their beloved Trump supported, befriended, or was enriched by Epstein.
The truth will soon be revealed.
