This man is about to put things into overdrive just to avoid anything about Epstein.

lol. I just read a few words and I see he accused Obama of a coup.

Trump truly is cut from the same cloth as Putin. That is a telltale sign of a dictator. Accuse others of exactly what you've done. It's fascinating.

About a decade late. People like myself were mocked for years for trying to warn people about this.

Wish I could say I felt vindicated. Really, I'm just sad.

He's not gone fascist. He already IS fascist.

Then, I suppose "right or wrong"' it's time to go after him.

Can we just take a moment to give props to the photographer who took this picture? It truly captures the essence and spirit of Donald Trump. If there is any justice in the world this will be his official presidential portrait.

Totally not the actions of a scared child rapist and insurrectionist

President Donald Trump appears to be growing increasingly desperate to turn the national conversation away from his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He spent the weekend suggesting prominent Democrats should be prosecuted over bogus right-wing conspiracy theories, and today he said it outright.

“Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump was asked which Democratic figures the Justice Department should target specifically in light of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent call for Obama administration officials to be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” over claims that they “manufactured” intelligence to allege Russia worked to get Trump elected in 2016.

“It would be President Obama; he started it,” Trump replied. “The leader of the gang was President Obama. Barack Hussein Obama, have you heard of him? He’s guilty, it’s not a question. This was treason. This was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election.”

“This is like proof, irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup,” Trump said later. “It was with Hillary Clinton, with all of these other people, but Obama headed it up.… This is the biggest scandal in the history of our country.”

Obama’s office responded today in a rare statement. “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” a spokesperson wrote. “But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and weak attempt at distraction.

“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,” the statement continued. “These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”

Several investigations and reviews — including one by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee review chaired by current Secretary of State Rubio — have concluded that Russia worked to elect Trump over Clinton in 2016. Trump has repeatedly called the idea a “hoax,” and has similarly been calling the Epstein scandal a “hoax” in the face of backlash to the Justice Department announcing it would not be releasing any more material on the sex offender and longtime friend of the president — despite Trump and top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, promising supporters they would release the government’s files on Epstein and the elites potentially in league with the disgraced financier.

Trump’s history with Epstein has been under the microscope as his administration has tried to bury the story. The Wall Street Journal reported last week on a salacious birthday note Trump wrote for Epstein in the early 2000s, and in which he allegedly wrote about how the two “have certain things in common.” Rolling Stone reported on the lengths the administration went to kill the story, which Trump has denied. The president sued the Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, for publishing the piece last week.

Trump is now going on the offensive against his political enemies over long-disproven conspiracy theories, ostensibly to distract from his ties to a sex offender. “We caught Hillary Clinton, we caught Barack Hussein Obama,” Trump said. “It’s the most unbelievable thing I think I’ve ever read. You ought to take a look at that and stop talking about nonsense.”

Do you hear that Democrats? It's time!

People such as children?

Sexually?

I hear there's some kind of file about this. Could be good to see that.

After calling his supporters weaklings I'm surprised there hasn't been a coup.

I've met a few of the deep in the ground MAGA, and they do not like the slightest insinuation that they are weak.

That works both ways.

This whole Epstein thing is going to be sweep under a rug, and something else will happen. It’s their whole plan… and been doing this since the start.

Never forget.

His face looks like a death mask.

Just keep that heart rate up Trump, I really need it straining as much as possible

The child-rapist says what, now?

Facism doesn't start when they start rounding people up. Facism starts when they lay the legal ground work and normalize facist sentiment within society. Those things have been going on since before Trump, but hey, better late than never.

oh, trump is still alive, and has not died from being a fat fuck?

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Trump was asked which Democratic figures the Justice Department should target specifically in light of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent call for Obama administration officials to be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” over claims that they “manufactured” intelligence to allege Russia worked to get Trump elected in 2016.

Which people?

Trump: "Whether it's right or wrong"

Garland: "wahhh wahhh, OMG I'm scared! I don't want to appear political. I'll wait until it's too late and then pretend to start investigating Trump."

I hope he never sleeps soundly for the rest of his life. Pathetic.

Don't get distracted. Epstein!

Epstein received 1.5B USD from unknown sources. And his fellow hedge fund bros never saw him make a trade, nor did they respect his finance skills. I'd love to see DOJ trace where his money came from.

If Trump sent federal goons after Obama, would the Secret Service protect Obama from them?

Have I heard of probably the only remotely respectable president of the USA in the last 30 years or so?

Probably? Fucking retard.

He’s guilty, it’s not a question.

Cool. To quote Wikipedia:

Show me the evidence, which you don't have, or GTFO.
