The president is attempting to keep calm in front of the cameras, but behind the scenes he’s fuming.
Donald Trump is reportedly getting more and more fed up with his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed headlines for weeks.
Trump is frustrated that the scandal has overshadowed his agenda and dominated the news, two people familiar with his thinking told The Washington Post in a Sunday report.
Nearly a dozen sources close to the situation spoke to the Post about the issue, painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash—particularly from Trump’s own base. Many officials had reportedly hoped that Americans would move on from the unreleased Epstein files, underestimating the sustained outrage.
He’s almost always in a “rage” of his own shit
Just make every question about the files.
Trump: We just passed another bill that’ll be great for America.
Press: And how does that bill affect the Epstein files?
Trump: There was a mass shooter in New York.
Press: Do the Epstein files contain info about Epstein talking about mass shootings?
Trump: I’m flying to Russia to suck Putin’s dick.
Press: Do the Epstein files indicate that he sucked Putin’s dick with you?
Put the child rapist in prison. He deserves to never see the light of day.
I won’t hold my breath.
The best we can hope for is the stress will take its toll on the morbidly obese 79-year-old with circulation problems and bruised skin.
“two people familiar with his thinking”. What a farce. Is there any fact based news anymore?
I guess he should go back in time and not fuck children then.
Good. May he rage himself into a coronary.
He probably thinks that means he’ll get crowned.
Could you imagine the queue to do that civic duty?
Dude is acting guilty as hell. Of course I believe his victims. Far too many of them for it to be nothing.
Good. Maybe he’ll give himself a stroke or a heart attack.
Wouldn’t that be great? Though I don’t think Vance would be any better.
At least the people would have something to celebrate
His grave would need 24 hour security for eternity to keep away the hoards of people wanting a crap.
Is he painting the walls with ketchup?
Guys, this is bullshit. He may be slightly annoyed, but he is totally protected, he and his administration have zero concerns about any consequences. They are untouchable. Particularly so due to the fact that both parties and their wealthy benefactors are implicated.
But this also means that they have a bit less control over the news. That there’s an actual discussion instead of just “president did this, president did that”
They don’t give a shit what we’re discussing. It’s all speculation, nothing is actionable.
Idk, pissing off conservatives did get him shot at
To add, I think opposition to raping children is a pillar propping up mega as a movement.
Ehhh… If this were true, he never would have made it to where he is
His political protection has cracked and faded slightly over this, and he’s upset that if it keeps up he will become exposed.
Exposed to what?
To reality like the rest of us
Whatever that means. I don’t see any real consequences for anyone but us.
He isn’t worried about reelection but GOP members of congress are. If he loses their support, he’s toast. This the only issue on which they have ever wavered, because exposing an elite pedophile cabal is a foundational belief of some of their base.
But like you say, we’ve been in similar situations before and Teflon Don has so far always slipped between the fingers of justice. We’ll see.
if he loses their support, he’s toast.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Too much butter.
It means congressional Democrats would find it easier to flip Republican votes against his appointees and against him personally with impeachment and removal from office, amongst other things.
He is afraid of any kind of consequences. Public embarrassment, etc.
You think the most embarrassing man on earth, this guy:
You think he’s afraid of embarrassment?
Absolutely. He hates being booed or, worse, laughed at. He does this dance in front of adoring fans who love him no matter how cringe he looks to others.
Not really a “consequence” in the statutory sense
No, agreed. However, this issue is bad optics for him and he hasn’t so far been able to distract the media like before (partly because some of them have finally wised up to such tactics). He doesn’t like the situation and the media know it, so they are keeping the pressure up to see what happens.
If he didn’t want to be called out on all the raping of women and kids then he shouldn’t have raped all those women and kids.
ROFLOL
painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash
I read this same thing - almost word for word - at least a dozen times in Trumpworld I. It all still ended up with a coup attempt, corporate news still at the service of republiQans, and half the voters still complete fucking morons.
Fucking good, keep this fire burning.
The news cycle usually does move on as quickly as Trump itches to rape a new child.
So the news cycle will never move on since he says he never molested any child
