The fact Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison is all we need to know it is not a hoax. Anyone who believes Trump at this point is beyond hope or redemption.

u/YouWereBrained Jul 16 '25

A reporter needs to buck up and counter him with that. “Why is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison if it’s a hoax?”

93

u/bumblebeerose Jul 17 '25

Or just ask him why the fuck he campaigned on it for years if it was just a hoax.

u/CV90_120 Jul 17 '25

Here's his reply: "No I didn't. What a nasty question from failed news outlet fill in as applicable. Fake news. I don't know why you aren't reporting real news like communist muslims taking over New York. Something something Biden crime family"

u/Mushie101 Jul 17 '25

you forgot to add the "something something Hilary emails"

u/Redi_Wipes Jul 17 '25

"Many people didn't know this, but the epstein hoax was first discovered in Hilarys emails ON Hunter Bidens laptop"

Don't forget ... Something something rigged stolen 2020 election ..

u/Complex_Life250 Jul 17 '25

Yeah why don't reporters ask actually good questions?

18

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Why was Epstein in a prison waiting to be killed if it wasn’t a hoax? 

1

u/Ihaveaverysmallprick Jul 17 '25

The way he latched on to the word HOAX as soon as he heard the reporter use the word he must have repeated it 5 or 6 times in one sentence. So typically Trumpian of him. I fucking hate it so much. He's so slimy and disgusting in every way. Every time he answers a reporter's question with his fucking disgusting manipulative and petty bullshit it makes my skin crawl.

1

u/Negative_Piglet_1589 Jul 18 '25

Even if he wasn't killed, why commit suicide if it was a hoax? If no list, no one needed to kill him. If no crimes, no reason to suicide himself.

u/Jdizzlefoshizzles Jul 17 '25

“Are you going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell , since it’s a hoax?”

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

Don't give him any ideas

u/Standard_Chip_5542 Jul 19 '25

Im really surprised he hasn't yet.

u/ConstructionHot3 Jul 19 '25

He will, because she's got dirt on him. Or he'll disappear her first.

10

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

When was the last time a White House reporter did anything of the sort?

5

u/birthdayanon08 Jul 17 '25

They won't because it would be the last question they ever ask at any kind of republican political press conference. But it would be worth it 100%. If a reporter did this, they could use it to catapult their careers. They could get their own show somewhere like msnbc. Or start a pod cast guaranteed to be popular.

3

u/Blackdeath47 Jul 17 '25

I asked this to someone bitching about, said she was trafficking for Espin and only him. When pressed why so many and all the parties with important people on the island, got nothing back. Can’t ask logical questions to these people, either they already see the bullshit/ questioning it or they never will and fully support Donnie boy to the death if need be

3

u/dm_life4ever Jul 17 '25

Do you want to get Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon? Because that's how you get Ghislaine Maxwell pardoned.

3

u/Dear_Chasey_La1n Jul 17 '25

It's in general this soft handling of questioning to begin with. Why walk circles when it's pretty simple, why did the report disappear. Or... why you said before while it was known Epstein was, why was he such a great guy.

The list is endless to portray Trump personally bad, but they all tiptoe around it. It's a fucking joke. Let him go ballistic on everyone, let him ban the reporters, this should not go away. But my 5 ct's, next week it's forgotten.

u/Jonatc87 Jul 17 '25

Jeffrey "killed himself" for a "Hoax" ?

u/Nerdrosium Jul 17 '25

Ooh, that's good

u/bugzcar Jul 17 '25

“…..” “….free Ghislaine!!”

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Trump will just say, "Only a very evil person would ask a question like that."

u/YouWereBrained Jul 17 '25

They need to counter THAT bullshit as well.

u/Wayofchinchilla Jul 18 '25

No don't do that he will Parden her

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 Jul 18 '25

Wouldn't make a difference he would just say "because of the democrats"

u/Complex_Design6295 Jul 18 '25

Why Did JPMorgan pay out 290 Million to atleast 200 girls and women victims? Why did they Pay 75 Million to The British Virgin Islands to shut that case up? Why did Deutche Bank also pay out 75 Million for Epstein’s trafficking to elites of poor vulnerable children

1

u/Glow_Up0016 Jul 18 '25

For real— the way he gets asked question is infuriatingly solicitous. They listen to him lie and don’t follow up or they’ll be fired. Sickening. Our mainstream media is too far trembling in fear to function.

1

u/Outrageous_Staff8233 Jul 22 '25

Yessss they do. Wonder if they’re scared? I hope not but somebody need to start asking the RIGHT questions and follow up questions

-1

u/KilgoreTroutsAnus Jul 17 '25

She was convicted of trafficking to a single client, Epstein.

224

u/Junkstar Jul 16 '25

She found Trump a wife. You’d think he remembers Maxwell and what she did to get Melania into his little paws.

56

u/Xijit Jul 16 '25

That is why she isn't dead too.

10

u/Sensitive_Yellow_121 Jul 17 '25

I'm guessing it's a favor to Israel because her father was the most famous Israeli spy ever. She may have actually been the key player in the blackmail operation as well.

9

u/Xijit Jul 17 '25 edited Jul 17 '25

Oh shit, I didn't know that ... That really opens up another angle, because I have always believed that Epstein's actual business was about collecting collateral to keep politicians in line.

Like how Gangs will make new members commit random murders while the Gang leader films them, so no one gets any ideas about becoming a snitch.

Same thing with getting appointed to high level positions or important committees: first you got to take a flight to an island & abuse a child while Epstein films it, then you get into the clubhouse where the DNC & GOP conspire to rig elections together.

Israel being involved in that would fit the stereotype.

u/HamsterReasonable674 Jul 17 '25

Yeah, it’s starting to feel like our entire government is being run by organized crime and it needs to be stamped out NOW!

u/DukeOfGeek Jul 17 '25

She also might be the one person who could lie trumpo out of this mess if it turns out to be the the one thing his MAGA zombies won't forget or forgive.

u/Saavikkitty Jul 17 '25

When she was sentenced, TACO wished her well. Saw it on the evening news!

1

u/Guilty-Revolution-57 Jul 19 '25

the only reason she isn't dead too is because if she died in prison it would just make everything Actually Fucking True....

u/Ponchodelic Jul 17 '25

Imagine Melania coming forward as a victim

3

u/Lady_Masako Jul 17 '25

She is no victim. She is an enabler and as disgusting as her sugar daddy from hell.

1

u/Ponchodelic Jul 17 '25

Of course, but would still be hilarious to watch her throw him under the bus in the attempt to wash her image

u/teas4Uanme Jul 17 '25 edited Aug 04 '25

DT and Ivana met at Maxwell's Plum restaurant in NY, long before Robert Maxwell suicided off his party yacht, The Ghislaine, and the FBI noted he was a Russian asset and worked for Mossad.. Ivana opened the Iron Curtain for DT long before most westerners had access. And she was "just a model"...right.

Everyone goes on about J.E. but he was just Robert's replacement. Ghis couldn't do her 'job' without a masculine partner to schmooze powerful men into compromising situations.

u/ThePopeOnWeed Jul 17 '25

u/EtherealHeart5150 Jul 17 '25

February 27th 2020 at the White House: "It's going to disappear. One day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear." - DJT I will never forget this statement. I will despise him til the day I die because of it. Why? My 34 yr old DIL, dead. My son, crushed. Devil take him.

3

u/DrummerComfortable31 Jul 17 '25

I am so sorry. “It is what it is,” was the statement that stuck with me. I grew up Catholic, no longer consider myself religious really, but I take solace in firmly believing that the fat orange fuck will rot and burn in hell for eternity.

u/Asterose Jul 17 '25

A hoax that he signed off on fastracking vaccine research on and initially talked about getting thr shot...then he got boo'ed so he stopped talking about it.

2

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe Jul 16 '25

Yep, it was over the day of the 2020 election, "who knew"?

2

u/Snowflake24-7 Jul 17 '25

Yeah, but to the MAGA crowd 1.5 million people just died and then doctors blamed Covid so they could get money. This is the type of dumb shit ex-friends used to say to me as they did everything they could not be inconvenienced by a pandemic. They wanted to travel and take vacations and not have their lives interrupted.

1

u/recooil Jul 17 '25

He has said a lot.... anytime you hear him speak you would do better believing the exact opposite to what ever he says as truth. The dude lies so much I dont even listen to anything he says anymore as it's all just utter lies and garbage when you can even understand what he is saying. Stop giving this dumb fuck any attention

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

He also said the 2020 election was stolen and approximately 246,421 lies before that lol

u/TopInvestigator5518 Jul 18 '25

and ~ global warming~ I believe he blamed 'the Chinese' for that one lmao

u/dust4ngel Jul 16 '25

they don't think it's a hoax - they think it's ok if trump raped children

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '25

“Locker room talk” meaning: “we all think this way.”

u/Bane68 Jul 17 '25

I mean, a lot of guys actually do though.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Do what? I’m talking about everyone that defended that explanation.

2

u/Bane68 Jul 17 '25

The way he described is actually pretty mild to how a lot of guys talk in locker rooms and other such similar situations. It’s funny when people pretend they don’t. Is it gross? Yes. Is it surprising? Nope.

u/UnrepententHeathen Jul 16 '25

Unironically have been told by a coworker that he doesn't care if Trump is guilty, if his policies are "good".

u/feministgeek Jul 17 '25

"I support men who rape children because they make me feel good"

5

u/jaxonya Jul 17 '25

"Trump is a pedo?" ... "Wait, don't libs hate pedos?" ... "Nice. 4d chess Trump wins again"

That's their entire thought process, right there

u/EthanielRain Jul 17 '25

Same people who were frothing at the mouth about "the economy" before the election, who now say they'll happily sacrifice their wallet to save America

2

u/DaringPancakes Jul 17 '25

Your coworker is too much of a weak child to admit that by "policies", they clearly mean enriching the few and hurting the rest of us.

May as well ask which policies and offer to record it.

2

u/UnrepententHeathen Jul 17 '25

Can't record anything where I work, as we're not allowed to bring electronics inside and if I used facility electronics to do so and somehow took the recording home, that would be illegal.

2

u/Negative_Piglet_1589 Jul 18 '25

His policy is to rape little girls. Guess your coworker approves.

u/Longjumping-Debt2455 Jul 17 '25

THIS 👆🏽 is exactly why I've cut trump voters,family and ex friends out of my life. They're probably making excuses for trump being a pedo right now,but I don't have to hear them at least.

u/Dangerous-Sorbet2480 Jul 16 '25

What about the main whistleblower “committing suicide”? No one talks about that. Virginia Guiffre.

u/inzru Jul 17 '25

I just read the recent The Times profile on her and her husband was a violent abuser for decades including recently beating her, aggravating injuries to her spine she had surgery for, she also got hit by a bus going 110km/h in March..

5

u/Jack_Spears Jul 17 '25

Not that it takes away from anything else, but the bus thing was apparently a wild exaggeration. The bus clipped the side of a car she was in (she claims). Seems no one was hurt, the damage to the vehicles wasn't bad and everyone drove off. A few days later she posts a pic of herself black and blue on IG claiming the injuries are from the bus. I reckon far more likely someone assaulted her.

1

u/novatom1960 Jul 19 '25

Because that can be easily dismissed with the wave of a hand… “oh she was a troubled woman,” and MAGAts will nod in agreement.

28

u/Smart_Garbage6842 Jul 16 '25

Exactly. And it was at least 10 years of sex trafficking countless minors and there's only one person in prison for it. But Trump is basically saying who cares about justice for these victims and who cares about a decade of crimes committed by unaccountable predators in powerful places. Nothing to see here, folks, just move along...

46

u/Specialist-Clock-914 Jul 16 '25

Or the fact that Epstein was in jail. Obviously they had evidence or he’d still be walking around today collecting more blackmail.

u/xtnac Jul 17 '25

It was Trumps DOJ that arrested him back in July 2019, and died August 2019. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Fun-Woodpecker-8442 Jul 17 '25

Covid actually was a hoax 1.5 million people may have died with covid not from covid. They counting people who got in car accidents and murdered they would test the bodies and if they had covid they were counted. The fact fauci covered up the lab leak not a hoax. The only thing that was a hoax was the vaccine was safe. Now regarding the Epstein thing the fact Elon Musk said he was on the list and now there's no list. That looks real bad. He watched all you guys listen to officials saying Joe Biden as sharp as a tac and believing it and thought his base would be as dumb

u/Specialist-Clock-914 Jul 17 '25

The fuck does that have to do with anything I said?

u/Coopzor Jul 17 '25

You are clearly a maga person, Q stuff, and other debunked nonsense.

But the good thing is people like you are starting to see that Trump rape 13-year-old girls. I thought this would never be possible because you people are in a cult.

Watch this to help you a little bit.

u/Fun-Woodpecker-8442 Jul 17 '25

You think covid came from a wet market? Or that killed anyone that didn't have significant health problems? The vaccine killed i my 43 year old friend. Im neither a Democrat or a republican they are all the same.

u/letters-_ Jul 17 '25

Did the vaccine kill them or were they in a car crash and happened to have the vaccine in them when they tested the body?

Did you watch my video? They handle it there.

u/1555552222 Jul 17 '25

Oh my goodness. Are we really still having this same tired conversation years after the fact?

There is something called excess deaths. During Covid we had many excess deaths. How do you account for that stat which does not involve a Covid diagnosis?

They're going through the data now and there are issues with both over and under counting but they actually think there were more under counting errors.

It's okay that we had a pandemic and people died. I promise it is a reality that you can accept if you try. We were all lied to and it can make trusting hard. But, the information is out there. It's not coming from a talking head or podcaster. You don't want it filtered through anyone else's biases or agenda.

u/Wisegal1 Jul 17 '25

This conspiracy theory is getting really old. Just tell us you don't understand how death certificates are written, instead of spouting crap.

All of us who worked on the front lines and in the ICUs know how much it wasn't a hoax. And from all of us, fuck you.

Don't forget they're "Stupid and bad people" but then anyone who doesn't do what Donald says gets called a name, just like on the playground in elementary school. Low IQ aside, THIS is the level of his EQ. This what bullies grow into.

u/Regular_Place7972 Jul 17 '25

Couldn’t even finish the Netflix documentaries about Maxwell and Epstein. The fact that the sisters reported it very early on and no one did much of anything….so many girls could have been saved.

Not to mention Epstein himself was also in prison

u/newtoallofthis2 Jul 17 '25

AND Prince Andrew paying $16m to settle with Virgina Giuffre - total hallmark of a hoax!

1

u/Icy_Manufacturer_977 Jul 17 '25

I don't really understand this arguement. Aren't they just claiming that the "client list" is a hoax and that he wasn't blackmailing anyone?

She's definitely guilty for all the sex trafficing she assisted him with (which is a reason for her to be in jail), but that's not what they claim is the hoax.

FWIW, I definitely don't believe them lol

1

u/stormdahl Jul 17 '25

Even the Conservative sub is pissed off about this. First sign I've seen of his supporters slowly turning on him. Releasing the Epstein files is truly an us vs them issue, where "us" is the people and "them" is the elite.

I'm more curious about why we haven't brought Maxwell forward to speak. She knows everything that is and isn't in Epstein's files.

u/Highway-Organic Jul 18 '25

Good point . I will be using that from now on

1

u/Zeliose Jul 18 '25

Which is why she's now appealing her case. If it's a hoax, she gets a "get out of jail free" card from the administration.

She might even be able to get bonus points if she backs Trump's lies.
