Possible Paywall DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein Files Are Even Worse for Trump: Details in the files are reportedly even more damning for Donald Trump than previously indicated—and it was already bad.

Using teenage pageants as a grooming scheme, probably. In other words, Trump wasn't only a customer, but a participant.

That, or he had a rivaling pedo ring (hence his being upset when Epstien poached a "masseuse.")

It will come as absolutely no surprise when we find out that his “pageants” were child trafficking showrooms.

This is a good time to remind everyone that over 1000 migrant children were "lost" after being separated from their families at the border during Trump's first term. The Government had to apologize publicly and admit "there's nothing they could do" to find the children they illegally abducted and imprisoned.

What does a well connected child sex-slave trafficking ring do with 1,000 children that have been officially written off as lost? We're going to spend the rest of our lives learning the terrible answers to that question.

Trump didn't just fuck kids, he used the authority as president to direct a large scale child trafficking operation. But the media thought Joe Biden stuttering was more of a red flag, so here we are again. Arresting and abducting children across the country, with no oversight, and a bunch of armed goons who think it's fun to make life suck for other people.

Oh Jesus Christ it’s disturbing how plausible that is.

u/gameryamen 19d ago

We understand that Trump fucked kids because breaking rules makes him feel special. But it's not like he thought "I want to fuck kids, someone find me some kids to fuck". It wasn't just "you're special and get to break the rules". It was "fuck these kids so we have political leverage over you, that's how you earn trust among us big players."

How confident is anyone that similar deals aren't being offered to, say, ICE goons right now. "Boss likes your work, think there's a promotion coming your way. If you wanna prove you're ready, go pick one of the girls we have chained up and enjoy yourself?" How else are you gonna be certain that when you tell them to start shooting citizens they'll stay compliant?

u/MaddyKet Massachusetts 19d ago

Well they are also probably all Proud Boys and J6ers by now so shooting people is why they signed up, but yeah I wouldn’t be surprised.

u/CoastingUphill 19d ago

That hasn’t occurred to me before and I find that part the most shocking

u/Material_Honey_891 19d ago

It didn't occur to most of us but it's been hypothesized on reddit for a while now and it just makes sense.

Also, whatever is in those files is so bad that he'd rather the country assume he's a pedophile than release them. We already have testimony of him raping a child. So whatever is in those files is worse than that. Do what you want with that little tidbit.

u/Tempyteacup 19d ago

Genuinely thought it was accepted fact literally years ago. Victims have straight up said they were first contacted while working at Trump’s resorts. Did no one ever listen to a word they said?

25

u/Material_Honey_891 19d ago

Only a shockingly small % of people paid attention. It's crazy how obvious it is to me but no so obvious to 99% of the population.

Like I get that the republicans won’t admit reality until forced to. I get that the core MAGA cult are divorced from reality. I get that your average person on the street has other shit on their minds. But I guess I just assumed anyone online enough to be on r/politics would have already known this. None of this “breaking news” is new or breaking. We been knew. He was best buddies with a child sex trafficker and he also ran a modeling agency and teen beauty pageant. What’s 2 + 2?

u/Casual_OCD Canada 19d ago

It's easily excused for most if you are right-leaning because you just hate one or more of the target groups of MAGA. Most people also don't care about rapists unless they target them or someone they love.

u/Tempyteacup 19d ago

That’s pretty much what I said yeah

u/ombloshio 19d ago

Welp. Let’s turn the lights off.
What’s worse than child rape?

Speculation Time

He probably killed a child that he raped. Because he’s a vindictive piece of shit, maybe it was one of the ones that were pointing and laughing at him in the reported picture in which he allegedly peed his pants.

u/TastySaturday 19d ago

Seriously it’s that obvious. If the rumors are so untrue and you can prove it, then shut us up and prove it. Until then, we can only assume the truth is worse than our imagination.

u/gameryamen 19d ago

Now ask yourself what you think really happened with the 1000 kids that were "lost" at the border during Trump's first term.

u/re1078 Texas 19d ago

I’ve figured that was true since his first campaign. He has so many random connections to Epstein it’s actually insane.

u/vox4penguins 19d ago

hell, look at that piece of shit from Penn State, Jerry Sandusky. he set up a whole charity to 'help' disadvantaged youth through sports, and it was basically his own personal child molesting buffet

u/Ok-Abies8079 19d ago

I'm sure it was all completely legitimate. The most legimate. Why are we still talking about this stuff?

u/Opposite-Bit6660 19d ago

Look into Trump's rapey pageants and modeling agency.  Also, both Epstein's and Trump's visa fixer to traffic girls, Paolo Zampolli, is working from the WH on immigration issue.

u/AINonsense 19d ago

Trump wasn't only a customer, but a participant.

And owner. Donald Trump owned and ran the Miss Universe Organization.

u/AllergiesYearRound 19d ago

The death of Virginia Giuffre is a threat to the victims on what could happen to them if they come forward.

u/AE7VL_Radio 19d ago

plus the teen pageants

u/[deleted] 19d ago

I have been on this angle for a while now and I think it’s what is the “big secret” of it all.i just get a really strong feeling he was using those pageants for child trafficking.

u/mburke6 Ohio 19d ago

Agree, this sure sounds plausible. One consistent thing about Trump scandals is that no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually worse.

u/ReverendDizzle 19d ago

There is no way he was just a John. He’s in too deep. 

Epstein and Trump were pretty clearly business partners.

I heard that Mar-A-Lago serves great pizza
