Trump says he turned down a trip to notorious Epstein island where abuse happened
“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....

Keep him talking about Epstein.
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.
There is also the slim chance that him worrying causes a cardiovascular event that fucking kills him. Slim, but probably more likely than anyone tangibly holding him to account.
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.
If JD gets to be President, it'll be two weeks before an intern finds him sobbing in a closet.
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.
Even when he outright admits to raping kids, nothing is going to be done about it
So he definitely accepted "the privilege" of going to child rape island. Got it.
“To be one of the blessed few that got the invite to rape island. If only you peasants were so lucky.”
We know of at least 7 trips. We know the names of some of the children Trump raped.
He turned down "a" trip to his island. The 20 other times he totally went and raped children.
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 if/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.
That's because he had a golf trip that one day.
He was there all the other times.
To the Pizza Express golf course in Woking.
He called it a privilege.
Lmao
Tfw you invite someone you "barely know" to your private child rape island
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy."

“I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.”

Epstein is Trump’s best friend, Trump is Epstein’s vey good friend.
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:

You can trust that he thinks it was a "privilege" to be invited to child rape Island
He called going to pedo Island a "privilege"
He literally can't help but dig himself deeper. And this geriatric fuck has the whole country by the balls. Lmao
Visiting an island with free range underaged girls to rape is considered a privilege to a documented pedophile.
"privilege" lol what a dumb mother fucker.
Look, I'm not saying this guy is a demented rapist but . . . wait, no yes I am saying that. We've all been saying that for like ten years.
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.
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...
Lock him up
He turned down one trip, maybe, but what about the second (and possibly third and fourth) trip?
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.
On Howard Stern he said his limit was 12 he didn't want to be a creep.
He said on numerous occasions that he'd love to fuck little girls. Nobody ever batted an eye though
I know, we are know he fucks kids. It just getting MAGA to understand that they are in a cult with a pedophile as their leader.
On the bright side me being a commie socialist just got me a job today. So pleased.
Where and how can I apply? So fucking sick of working for these capitalist dipshits.
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.
Oh okay lol. I'm also good at interviewing, just can't stand working for dumbass conservatives, or even liberals honestly at this point lol.
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.
Try looking for worker coops around you. If you're in a decently mid-sized city, there's bound to be a few.
He probably already had a 14 year old at home at the time
He probably turned down one visit once because of a golf tournament that week and took a rain check.
He also said:
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"?
So anyway, Donald Trump is a rapist and conservatives support rapists.
Maybe he was busy that weekend, being peed on by Russian prostitutes?
Oh of all the silly rumors . . . .
/s, obvs
One time.
What about all the other times he did go there to fuck children?
He calls minor sex parties a privilege and is sad he never got to go? That's a weird thing to say for the best friend of a sex predator?!
"The privilege" How fucking disgusting..
I Turned down the PRIVILEGE of going to Child Rape Island once! THANK YOU FOR "your" attention to This matter!
He definitely went
Really? Seriously? We're still doing this?
I seem to recall a couple years back, some senator lady subpoenaing the passenger manifests for all private flights to that island. I don't remember if anything ever came of that.
"Turned down" is the propaganda way of saying he rescheduled it.
30,573 lies in his first term:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/
What are the odds he's telling the truth now?
Why would you "not want" to go to his island Mr President?
So this is how he’s going to explain his name on a flight manifest(s) - he was “invited” but “didn’t go”; must e forgotten to take his name off. And now the one person in the world who could put him there without getting into MORE trouble has been bought off with a pardon.
Yeah, I heard they gave his spot to famous Italian billionaire Donaldo Trumpetto.
He probably thinks he deserves thanks for this, too.
Aren't there already flight records of people who went there? Would that be publicly available information?
No one believes you orange adolf.
So he's admitting he wasn't important enough to go to the island? Makes sense
When he opens his mouth, he lies. This is an admission of guilt, nothng else.
Why fly to an island? He had a house in Florida by Donald and a Condo in NYC.
So why would he think to invite him?
He may have rejected to go there once because he had a golf tournament, and took a rain check...
Lying liars do like to lie.
