Trump might actually be doing this successfully, by making the US so universally hated that the rest of the world unites together against us.
Our only friend will be Russia.
With friends like that you won’t need trump anymore.
Jeez, that’s almost a reason to root for it. So conflicted.
One of my maxims is, “a lot of times, everyone involved in a situation is an asshole.” It serves me well.
More like Trump will start WW3 to distract from the Epstein fiasco if it doesn’t die down soon.
Two weeks?
Man moves to the US, gets a green card, and starts a business called Trump Burger. Then he gets picked up by ICE and sued by the Trump Organization for using their name without permission.
The Trump Burger in Flatonia is/was “Cash Only”. Trump is just jealous.
“Welcome to Trump Burger. Today’s special is faces, prepared leopard-style.”
This was so good I shared it with my husband. He laughed his ass off and said it should be stickied in r/AITA.
Glad to be of service, call it “madmonk28’s law”
Joey Chestnut seems to like them.
Does he? Or does he just have a really big compulsion.
I’m sharing this Occupy Democrats post because it really is some Schadenfreude. Trump started the Epstein conspiracy theories to inflame his base. Now his chickens are coming home to roost. Having bought into the Epstein scandal, his base are not about to drop it. (Oh, and the poor Republican congresspeople are getting some splatter on themselves too.)
BREAKING: Sources within the White House spill the beans and reveal that Donald Trump is unraveling as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal worsens with each passing day and is “sort of paralyzed” by the story.
His presidency is circling the drain and he knows it…
“POTUS is clearly furious. It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed," a person close to the White House told Politico.
Rather than basking in the glow of his disastrous “big, beautiful bill” like he expected, Trump’s summer has turned into the Season of Epstein. The more that this administration digs in its heels over the Epstein files, the more the media fixates on the scandal, uncovering an ever-growing pile of evidence that Trump is, as Elon Musk has claimed, implicated in the files.
POLITICO reports that a senior White House official told them that Trump is “frustrated with his staff’s inability to tamp down conspiracy theories they once spread and by the wall of media coverage that started when Attorney General Pam Bondi released information from the Epstein case that was already in the public domain.”
“He feels there are way bigger stories that deserve attention,” the official said.
A White House ally revealed that Trump’s frustration over the scandal is due in some part to his awareness that it’s a genuine “vulnerability.” Much of the MAGA base is demanding answers and some are even starting to defect against the administration due to the continued stonewalling.
"They’re the ones that opened the can of worms on the Epstein conversation. No one made them do this, which makes it sting even worse,” the ally said.
"They would like to move on and talk about the things they think are Ws,” they added. “They are really annoyed that it’s an overshadowing news cycle.”
The truth, of course, is that none of the things that Trump claims as “Ws” are actually victories for the American people. The “big, beautiful bill” will kill countless Americans through its $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid and the world economy is still reeling from his destructive and pointless tariffs.
“House members are worried and it’s screwing up the schedule,” said the individual who is close to the White House. “There have been points of significant pushback behind the scenes where the House has rolled over. But now the Rules Committee rebelled against the speaker over something POTUS finds embarrassing. It’s a big ass deal. You’re looking at a straight congressional rebellion.”
The solution here is simple. Release the Epstein files.
Y’know, it’s often seemed like there’s nothing we can do to save the country from this asshole. But we can do this. Talk about Epstein forever, or as long as it takes!
It still rankles me that this idiocy might be the only thing between us and fascism, but if it works, that’s the important thing.
I’d feel a lot more hopeful if this was from a legitimate news source. Occupy Democrats is notorious for posting bogus info though. 
Trump didn’t get the judge he wanted in the Wall Street Journal lawsuit. “Who that judge is tends to suggest that karma is alive and well.”
“POTUS is clearly furious. It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed," a person close to the White House told Politico.
“them” ??!! He won’t like that !!
Apparently, CNN uncovered photos of Jeffrey Epstein attending the wedding of Trump and Marla Maples. CNN attempted to call Trump to ask him about the photos. Trump called CNN ‘fake news’ (or is that ‘FAKE NEWS!!!’?) and hung up on them.
Um, Donny…? Calling CNN/the photos ‘fake news’ doesn’t change the fact that Epstein was at your wedding.
