Donald Trump diddled kids, watched kids being diddled, or knows close friends who diddled.
This is the reality.
Revealing it is necessary, but it won't be a cure-all. Trump would never resign. He would attempt to keep what he thinks is his by right by using force in its various forms.
It's some people being willfully blind to this monster's nature that's gotten us to this point.
We won't get out of it without blood. I mean more blood. Because Donald's crimes have been more than sexual.

This is why Republicans nominated Trump and elected Trump over career Republicans.
This is why the overwhelming majority of Republicans still support Trump.
Trump embodies Republican values.

My 2028 futurecast: -in his final day in office, Der Dotard will commute the sentence of Ms. Maxwell -with the commutation (not a pardon) she will not have to testify to anything -Der Dotard, by then an 83-year old poster boy for senility, will go to his grave not being charged with sex crimes in the Epstein matter
Clip and save...

"Yawn" That's right. Assume the position.
You keep practicing opening that tap wide so Trumpy can shove it in deep.
Release the files so you don't have to keep lying about it. "No one cares, also CNN."
Link or lie.

What about according to VISITOR? Do you think there is a trump epstein connection?

I think even the most ardent Trumpers would expect Trump to lie his ass off about his connection to Epstein and dare anybody to prove otherwise.

"I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy," Trump told New York magazine in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Trump knew.

Trump once believed Epstein to be a terrific guy, but he wasn't the only one who talked up the friendship. Years later Epstein would tell the journalist Michael Wolff that he had been Trump's "closest friend for 10 years", in audio tapes published on Wolff's Fire and Fury podcast last year. Epstein also told Wolff that Trump liked to "---- the wives of his best friends", and said the first time he slept with Melania Trump was on Epstein's plane. Trump's camp claimed that Wolff was engaging in "false smears" and "election interference".

More from the cited article ...
... Their friendship spanned three decades, but in a 2019 interview, Epstein described Trump as his "closest friend for 10 years." That would have been 15 years after they had a falling out over a bidding war on a Palm Springs oceanfront mansion, and 11 years after Epstein was first convicted on child sex offenses. Three other individuals who knew the men have also described them as best buds. They include Maria Farmer, a visual artist hired by Epstein who provided the first criminal complaint of sex abuse to law enforcement; Stacey Williams, a model who referred to Trump as Epstein's "wing man" after the Manhattan real estate mogul allegedly groped her; and Jack O'Donnell, the former president and chief operating officer of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, who recalled scolding Trump in the late 1980s after he arrived at the gambling floor with Epstein and three underage girls. ...

Come speak my name Fill my head with all such foolish dreams My flesh and blood Is no more real to me Than what it seems
My love for you is burning Like a spark along a fuse I feel your mark upon me now As surely as the hand that leaves the bruise
Life is for the living And life comes hard for some The rest of us with flesh and blood Make it hard all along
All I ever wanted Was the freedom to refuse Or something of my own to love enough To hate, to lose
The fever in my brain Is leaving smoke behind my eyes But the part of me that wants to change Fights the part of me that tries ...
