“I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down, but a lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island,” Trump said.

“In one of my very good moments, I turned it down. I didn’t want to go to his island,” he added.

So he did go to the island…

      Visiting an island with free range underaged girls to rape is considered a privilege to a documented pedophile.

    He also said:

    I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times

    28?

    What an oddly specific number. How did you hear about this number, Donny? Did your good friend Jeff Epstein tell you that Bill Clinton went there 28 times? Or was it written down somewhere, like in a “list” of data related to Jeff Epstein? Something you might call, I dunno, “The Epstein List”?

      Yeah, this is the point in the police interrogation where the detective shrinks back, shuts up, and lets the recording soak everything up.

      The demented rapist might perjure himself more critically if he keeps it up.

        We have like 50 separate life sentences on this dude already. We don’t need more evidence, we need someone to take action on the already cartoonishly large mountain of evidence that is on public TV.

          The difference is that there’s a section of MAGA that really, really cares about this. Not all of it, but enough to fracture the base.

          Also, I don’t think it’s just Trump. This is an actual worldwide conspiracy of billionaires, and it’s the one thing that could get eat the rich to cross political boundaries.

            I mean I’m all for it, but from what I’ve seen, that’s just now how it works. They’ve already got the legal pull to do what they want, including not having to actually answer for another election. This shit is over unless they are imprisoned or die.

            Yeah, but then we have president JD. What we need is for Vance to snap, strangle Trump, get caught by Mike Johnson who he then uses his special anti-pope magic on to keep him quiet. Then in the power vacuum, America discovers we didn’t need a president this whole time, and we spend the next few years getting to know ourselves.

            It’s the fantasy political thriller rom-com that could save the American movie industry.

      That’s exactly how he said that with a straight face. He just kept thinking about that one time he turned it down (he probably got sick and had to cancel).

      He said “never”. Not sure why you’re interpreting it that way.

      True or not, he’s clearly asserting that he never went, not that he turned it down once but accepted other times. He’s not admitting to ever having gone.

      So when proof comes out that he did, this will be more damning.

      No. No what he said was he had “the privilege” and turned IT down. He totally went there, just on his own plane.

    So he turned it down because he … knew what was happening there … and said nothing to the cops because … who cares about the victims… Right.

      Why the fuck he say it "never had the privilege " that phase sounds more like he missed out on a good thing. Why would it be a privilege to go there unless you like fucking kids.

              Can’t really say, not like its a socialist company. Just so happen the manger was a Bernie Sanders supporter like me. Refreshing when we live in the middle of Trump country. I mean at first they were planning on interviewing multiple people, but by the end of the interview they said screw it and gave me the job. But I have always been good at the interview process. I call myself a good BSers. Helps tthat I am extrovert and can easily persuade people.

                I’ve just been completely radicalized against capitalism after the last few years. I would have moved anywhere for something even remotely socialist minded with decent pay, no true way to fucking escape capitalism by design though.

    This is my conspiracy theory…

    Trump and Epstein were best friends… (this part is basically proven)

    He did go to the island, but he asked Epstein to not put him on the list…

    Epstein agreed but kept receipts for everything else to use as black mail…

    Trump agreed to release the files because of his agreement with Epstein… he later back tracks because he was told he was actually in the files…

    Now he’s in full on denial and pivot mode because he knows what he did…

    But that’s just a theroy… a…

    If he said that the sky is blue I’d fucking need to go outside and check. Can’t trust a word this pedo says. I’m pretty sure I remember seeing that his name/ his plane is on a few flight logs to the island so there’s evidence this is false.

      Here is a chronological order of all of his connections to Epstien and evidence. Original by person listed in link. https://sh.itjust.works/post/42442863

      I can’t find records of him going to the island, but it looks like he didn’t have to, even if the evidence was destroyed:

      Maxwell trial: Flight logs show Trump flew on ‘Lolita Express’ with Eric, Tiffany and Clinton adviser

      Trump was a frequent flyer onboard Epstein’s private jet in 1993 and 1994

      A passenger list shows on 23 March 1993, Mr Trump and Epstein flew from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach with Erin Nance, a former Miss Georgia who competed in the 1993 Miss USA beauty pageant.

      Under Ms Nance’s first entry in the flight logs on 4 January 1993, she is referred to as “Miss Georgia, and a runner-up in Miss USA”. She also appears on other flights without Mr Trump.

      Mr Trump owned the Miss USA pageant from 1996 to 2015.
