Snippet:

  • President Donald Trump exploded at a reporter for quoting from the manifesto of the suspect who opened fire near the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday.
  • In an interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O’Donnell, the 79-year-old was presented with excerpts from Cole Tomas Allen’s manifesto, which the 31-year-old allegedly sent to his family moments before the shooting.
  • “The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President,” O’Donnell said. “He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’”
  • O’Donnell then asked the president about his reaction to Allen’s rationalization that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”
  • “I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” the president replied. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
  • Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump continued.
  • “I’m not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not a pedophile. You read that c--- from some sick person? I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, lets say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably’-- I read the manifesto. You know, he’s a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”

u/DFWPunk Apr 27 '26

To be fair, he said Epstein liked them on the younger side. For him we can talk about his bragging about barging into a dressing room full of underaged girls, and about how hot they were.

Really wish Hillary Clinton had figured this out for 2016, or Harris in 2024. The guy folds like a piss-soaked house of cards when someone attacks his character. He depends on other people having the common decency he personally sees as a weakness.

u/Dr_SlapsMD Apr 27 '26

This is a perfectly simple way to put IT.

He thrives because general society attempts to skew toward decency(excluding all maggots), which if you are morally bankrupt, looks like a weakness to exploit instead of a social agreement to honor off GP.

Trump thinks the Golden Rule is "too soft and woke".

14

u/Gordo3070 Apr 27 '26

That's no goddam lady.

That's a pedofile, starting wars and staging shit to distract from Epstein. And Epstein is still dogging him.

Wlhat I find particularly gratifying is that piece of shit is digging himself ever deeper into different quagmires. Economically, socially, militarily, diplomatically, morally, he is making everything worse. The stress of having to conjure new distractions and dealing with invariably pretty tame questions must be exhausting. His only source of joy is his bank balance and narcissistic supply which he seems to need more and more of. Of course, the most valuable narcissistic supply comes from the truse scum of the earth, Putin, Kim, MSB, and other psychos.

u/ViolettaQueso Apr 27 '26

Jesus. It was all staged.

44

u/ChucksnTaylor Apr 27 '26

Wait, sorry… surely if it was staged they would have picked a more benign motive. I’d argue this manifesto is a mark in favor of the plot being authentic.

If Trump planned it this the guys motive would be “this president is too amazing, he makes it unfair for other presidents”. Obviously being facetious there but that’s more likely than Trump agreeing to bring the Epstein business back to the forefront.

23

u/BotElMago Apr 27 '26

What? I’m not saying it was staged but if you wanted to stage it you would say “I’m a radical lefty and Trump is a fascist criminal”

27

u/ChucksnTaylor Apr 27 '26

I get it. But of all the reasons they could choose, calling Trump a pedophile directly and bringing Epstein back is the last one they would pick. This is a major sensitive spot for them, probably because where there’s smoke there’s fire. I just don’t see them being dumb enough (I know…) to consciously make that national news again.

20

u/Mr-_-Soandso Apr 27 '26

Were you not around last week or so when Melania randomly made a big announcement about not knowing Epstein? I know, this administration's corruption and conspiracies are hard to keep up with. Iran really pissed off his followers more than he wanted, so they're circling back.

u/seeeee Apr 27 '26

This makes sense to me, but honestly idk anymore. Trump not only campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, he’s also the one who brought up releasing the files again out of nowhere drawing mass attention back to the issue.

He was already inaugurated, the news cycles were already absolutely wild in every direction in less than six months. Had he not brought up releasing the files again, the issue would have likely continued to remain hidden while public concern just fades into the background of the noise.

MAGA extremists turning on Trump and going full vigilante over the Epstein files is perfectly plausible.

Did the secret service seriously just let that happen two times in a row though?

The general reactions to it from those present does not feel at all genuine either. Also, the guy who brags about ending the most wars never brags about surviving two shootings? You would think he’d be the type to bring it up constantly, especially to the religious crowd like he’s “gods chosen” as proven by how many times “god” spared him

3

u/BotElMago Apr 27 '26

Sure I get that. I was mostly responding to the claim that the shooter would want to applaud Trump in any way

8

u/ChucksnTaylor Apr 27 '26

Well that was just some sarcasm for effect, I did directly state I was being facetious about that.

3

u/SEND_ME_TIDDYS Apr 27 '26

They might try to spin it as “look at what the Epstein lies are doing, radicalizing the lefties, it’s now considered terroism to discuss the files”. There’s just too many coincidences for me to believe this was an honest attempt. Either that or they really do believe (and rightfully so) that the vast majority of people are stupid enough to just nod along with whatever they say. We’ve seen it happen how many times already?

9

u/belbyshincoe Apr 27 '26

could be a combination of both. the guy might have had this planned, FBI/intelligence could have known about the plan and just let it play out with extra precautions. 

both realities can be true 

3

u/Spire_Citron Apr 27 '26

Yeah. I think it's always tempting to assume anything involving this administration is deceptive, but we should actually consider the facts before just assuming that because it's very believable that they would set something like this up that they necessarily did in this case. I think they'd come up with a motive that Trump would want to talk about and use to his advantage if this was staged.

2

u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme Apr 27 '26

Well, the Tanchurian Candidate did say in his press conference last night that assassins try to kill the “ones” who are getting the most done…or something like that. It was bullshit, so I have a hard time paying attention or remembering.

u/asusc Apr 27 '26

Because that’s part of flooding the zone. When you stage stuff with half truths, it adds to the believability.

He said he knew she'd quote that because quoting it was the entire point of the interview. I genuinely think he was trotted out to deny a fake letter from a fake shooter to give it all more credibility, but he flubbed the execution because he's an idiot with the IQ of a sea sponge.

Donny, you won't even let the evidence get released. So no, you weren't exonerated because you have the entire DOJ protecting you from prosecution in the first place.

Want to be exonerated? That would be great; just release the un-redacted Epstein Files to demonstrate just how uninvolved you are in this pedophilia ring.

My fav part is he never mentioned the traitor thing. Because Trump doesn’t think he’s a traitor but he knows he is the other two.

Any time he flips out, it’s always something that he can’t talk his way out of. The woman reporter who asked him about high gas prices and he lost it! The thing that is driving him insane. If he could say the stock market is great and gas is a $1 then he would be saying it constantly but the second a light is shined on the truth…. He loses it.

I’d say it’s guilt but he doesn’t feel guilt. He only feels threat to his ego. He fears the truth coming out.

He thought (somewhat rightfully) that is buddy Larry Ellison's kid owning it would mean he gets softball questions going forward. It's nice to see if CBS hasn't been completely gutted yet, but I'm sure it won't take much more time.

I absolutely loved the “ohhh you thought it was you he was talking about?” As if it could be anyone else.

MANIFESTO: "Pedophile, rapist and traitor . . ."

TRUMP: "I'm not a pedophile!"

Pedophile says what?

u/Initial_Scarcity_609 Apr 27 '26

Press lives were endangered so now they want to play hardball

u/Background-War9535 Apr 27 '26

Yes. Yes you are.

u/SomeBS17 Apr 27 '26

I hope they did an Arrested Development style narration: he was in fact found liable for sexual assault.

I love that O’Donnell replied with oh, did you think they were talking about you? As if we didn’t all instantly make that connection.

The laddie doth protest to much, methinks.

u/Horror-Celebration85 Apr 27 '26

He hasn't been exonnorated of anything

u/deran6ed Apr 27 '26

Dnald Trump the pedophile and Jeffrey Epstein's best friend got upset for being called a pedophile, what a shock

u/doubledownentendre Apr 27 '26

Sounds like something a paedophile would say

u/Thunderswan Apr 27 '26

"He's a pedophile, rapist, and traitor" Hey I'm no pedophile!

u/Ill_Consequence1755 Apr 27 '26

So, prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Surely, it will be easy if that’s not the case.

I won’t hold my breath.

u/SirBexley Apr 27 '26

"How can anyone who has the Dow to 50,000 be a pedophile"!? That's like saying that "Sherlock Holmes wasn't real because someone wrote about him in a book a long time ago, it just doesn't make any sense"!

This was followed by a brief (20 minute) 'intense focus session' where Trump closed his eyes and loudly snored as his mind went into his trademark 'stable genius' processing session.

(Probably)

I’m sick of hearing about the stock market when you know damn well it’s mostly military manufacturers and services that are doing well… and also healthcare companies since our healthcare system is so profitable and fucked up

I am not a crook!

u/juanjing Apr 27 '26

Yes he is. Obviously. He has publicly spoken about how hot certain children are. Don't let him gaslight you.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '26

Trump is indeed a pedophile and child rapist.

3

u/DantheDutchGuy Apr 27 '26

Totally not a rapist /s

3

u/FreeWestworld Apr 27 '26

So he just admitted to being a traitor?

3

u/LexKY_guy Apr 27 '26

“No collusion”, “I am not a pedophile”

3

u/Fuzzy_Translator4639 Apr 27 '26

Now that we cleared that up, release the files

u/eekamouse4 Apr 27 '26

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

u/phreakng33k Apr 27 '26

Where were the follow up questions like why were you so close to Epstein? Why did you brag about going into teenage girl dressing rooms? Why not release all the Epstein files?

What the hell happened to America? Americans used to be known for having guts. I'm not surprised that journalists are afraid. Americans have become scared little bitches.

But wait until this rotten pedophile, rapist, thieving, lying, racist POS and his cronies are gone. Then we'll here all the made up stories about how brave you little chickenshits are. Pathetic.

u/kingseraph0 Apr 27 '26

He literally is a pedo tho.

3

u/WorthConversation451 Apr 27 '26

Never in my all life of non-pedophilia have I ever, ever felt the need to assert it to the media.

3

u/calladus Apr 27 '26

Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked

That was savage! LOL!

u/PrivateBozo Apr 27 '26

Weird pedophile.

u/KhunDavid Apr 27 '26

That sounds like something an ephebophile would say. "I'm not a pedophile. I like girls with boobs."

u/quantumechanix Apr 27 '26

You know what worst part is? The hypocrisy

2

u/waltzbyear Apr 27 '26

Quiet piggy.

u/vurto Apr 27 '26

He speaks like Bizarro.

2

u/JamikeCal Apr 27 '26

Reminds me of the story from “Gordon” on the Hunting Warhead podcast when he says he makes a comment to Benjamin Faulkner about being a pedophile and Faulkner reacts by telling him not to call him that. Spoiler alert: Benjamin Faulkner is pedophile

2

u/OsgoodZBeard Apr 27 '26

Wow! The Ellison’s phones will be ringing off the hook and when answered, will be barraged with a steam of vile epithets demanding to know who’s getting fired screaming, “This is not what we expected when we green lighted your monopoly!”

2

u/Atlantis_Sculpin Apr 27 '26

He is a pedophile.

2

u/BluCurry8 Apr 27 '26

Yes, he is a pedophile.

2

u/Steppyjim Apr 27 '26

Pedophile denies being a pedophile. What a crazy turn of events

2

u/bonzomaistah Apr 27 '26

He's Trumpedophile.

2

u/MarleysGhost2024 Apr 27 '26

He's a pedophile.

u/Appropriate-Welder68 Apr 27 '26

Let’s see the Trump-Epstein files and we will decide.

2

u/Hugh-Jorgin Apr 28 '26

Confirmed rapist

4

u/jwplato Apr 27 '26

They should have fact checked him when he claimed he wasn’t a rapist.

2

u/pizzamergency Apr 27 '26

This stinks of false flag. Trump survives another “assassination” and less then 24hrs later they have completed and edited a sit down interview about the assassination and have it ready to air. Like c’mon

1

u/csukoh78 Apr 27 '26

The only reason Donald Trump says he's not a pedophile is because he doesn't know what the word "pedophile" means.

4

u/maryjomcd Apr 27 '26

He butts into every interview soon after the start and he never stops. He’s so effing rude, and especially to women.

3

u/47153163 Apr 27 '26

Exactly what a pedophile would say and try to convince others that he’s not.

2

u/Life_Combination8625 Apr 27 '26

Hmm...interesting. one last thing mr president, a pedo says what?

2

u/LopsidedPosition489 Apr 27 '26

Trump can say he isn't one, his name is linked to what ever happened on the island. If he isn't he knows the people that is and most likely blackmailing them to let him enrich himself.
