    Truth Social post, 2024: “I was never on Epstein’s Plane”.

    Documents subsequently released in 2025 show he was on the plane at least 8 times.

    Nov 18, 2025 to reporter on video interview in the Oval Office: “I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert.”

    Epstein files (once heavily redacted by Trump’s own admin): 5300 mentions in emails, letters, cards, itineraries, manifests, etc.

    Trump, MAGA, and most Republicans: “Democrat hoax!”

    Gosh, it’s like there’s been a coordinated effort to downplay the link, whitewash Trump, and deceive the public.

    Wait… is this you, New York Times - just five weeks ago?

    “An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/jeffrey-epstein-donald-trump.html

    The FBI could release a 10 TB archive of evidence tomorrow showing Trump with Epstein directly abusing minors recorded in all possible recording mediums and vetted real by third-party experts, and it would still be written off as a hoax by enough people to still win him another election.

    I knew the headline that said Trump was mentioned hundreds of time was incorrect… By undercounting.

    Mean technically correct but yeah.
