In his typical attempt to deflect attention, US President Donald Trump adamantly declared on Friday that he had never visited the island. He was referring to Jeffrey Epstein’s well-known Caribbean private retreat. Instead, saying he had been there 28 times, he advised reporters to listen to Bill Clinton. Just before Trump left for a golf excursion in Scotland, he made this comment in an impromptu interview with the media.
According to HuffPost, Donald Trump told the reporters, “You’re making a very big thing over something that’s not a big thing.” Yet, even for some of his supporters, this whole situation will not go away because of all of Jeffrey Epstein’s records that are circulating within the Department of Justice and his name allegedly appearing frequently.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case.
Trump, however, claimed on Friday that he was never informed on this topic.
Trump continues to deny it, but we are all witnessing the deluge of old photos, films, and anecdotes about him having a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who is now well known as a slimeball. Then there’s this 2003 birthday card that’s all the rage, featuring a nude illustration and the words, “May every day be another wonderful secret.”
He wrote it, so the story goes.
Naturally, he claims it is a fake, and he is prepared to sue Rupert Murdoch and The Journal for it.
On Thursday, President Trump threatened to sue Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for allegedly writing an offensive letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The Journal story, which was part of Apic, included a sketch of a nude lady signed by President Trump.http://KndBnhApOF on Twitter

Once ardent supporters of Donald Trump, right-wing influencers and QAnon fans are now accusing him of keeping the Epstein scandal under wraps, adding fuel to an already raging political fire.
When Attorney General Pam Bondis abruptly announced that she would not be disclosing any information pertaining to Epstein and dismissed the lead prosecutor, Maurene Comey, who was working on the case, this mistrust grew even more.

Supporters of Donald Trump are now angry with him, and with good reason.
Prior to this, Trump’s fans believed he would overthrow the elites, including Bill Clinton, as he said during his 2024 campaign for a second term in power, according to a narrative that can be easily attributed to right-wing populism.
EPSTEIN: Why won’t Bill Clinton be questioned by the passing media about his 28 visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s island? Why don’t they question him about his purpose for being there? After learning of Epstein’s activities, Trump denounced him to the Florida AG and expelled him from his club.tweet.com/aH7GEx9sib

However, they are now beginning to consider the possibility that he is not all that different from the people they disliked. The anti-Bill Clinton MAGA supporters are now wondering if their hero is contributing to the issue they want to resolve.

The truth of Donald Trump’s assertion that he never visited Epstein’s island is not the fundamental question. The reason he is being so reticent about speaking the truth is what his detractors and even some of his former friends are more interested in these days.
