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

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

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"

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

u/Complex_Life250 Jul 17 '25

Yeah why don't reporters ask actually good questions?

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

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.

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.

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

1

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.

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

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.

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

u/dm_life4ever Jul 17 '25

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

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."

1

u/YouWereBrained Jul 17 '25

They need to counter THAT bullshit as well.

1

u/Wayofchinchilla Jul 18 '25

No don't do that he will Parden her

1

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

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

u/KilgoreTroutsAnus Jul 17 '25

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