“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. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a week attempt at distraction,” read the statement attributed to Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for Obama. “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. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”
Trump very hard to create distractions, but does it even matter if he’s a pedo? We all knew, but that’s not changing anyone’s positions, right?
The alt right movement has been largely built on conspiracy theories - the idea that there is a shadowy cabal of very rich people who traffic and sexually abuse children. Many of them literally believed that Wayfair was selling children online with identification numbers for like chairs and sofas being secret codes for children; that children were being sold in the basement of a pizza shop, that lines in Hillary Clinton emails referring to getting pizza were references to child sex abuse, that there exists a video of Hillary Clinton ripping off a child’s face and eating it for gratification/getting high on “adrenochrome,” that their hero Trump was going to expose all of this. Even the “normal” ones had a belief that “The Left” is after their children - making them gay or trans. Donald Trump was supposed to expose all of this, and a big part of why he “won” is the conspiracy insanity.
Now, it has indeed turned out that there was a shadowy cabal of rich people sexually abusing children - with Trump being a very active participant. This is the equivalent of a doomsday cult reaching the day that the world was supposed to end and it not; the leader being revealed as a fraud the entire time. This exemplifies the way that the MAGA movement is a cult. They are experiencing massive amounts of cognitive dissonance, and choosing to double down in their cultic beliefs. This is terrifying to watch.
The narrative is starting to become that Epstein was an agent of Mossad that was intended to blackmail Trump. Genuine antisemitism (ie, not criticism of Israel for genociding Palestinians, but actual Nazi Jew hating) is common in those spaces, so this ties into their conspiracy theories very well already. (There’s also enough pieces to draw connections there - Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad was possibly murdered by Mossad. He also destroyed scientific publishing, so he can rest in piss regardless.)
We have an extremely dangerous cult that worships Trump based on the idea that he was going to “drain the swamp” and jail the pedophiles. This extremely dangerous cult is in a very desperate spot right now, and while the hope is that it will fall apart due to the clear fact that Donald Trump did rape children on Epstein’s island, cults do not operate on basic reason.
That pos cult are starting to say, “kids should be molested” or “if Donald raped me, I’ll be happy”.
This is why Donald loves the poorly uneducated. They’ll be the first to clean that shitty ass with their tongue.

That’s a MAGA supporter who was abused as a 3 year old, arguing that Trump is OK because it’s human nature “even when children are used.”
MAGA is all kinds of fucked up.
For MAGA, black ranks lower than white pedo who lusts for his daughter.
How what a single random person thinks made the news, I do not know.

I can’t imagine it’ll change the cult’s opinion of him at all, but at least it makes it glaringly obvious that they’ve always been raging hypocrites and that makes me feel a little better. Also, Trump seems to want the story to be buried, so I’m ok with people shouting it from the rooftops.
This is probably the most damaging story about him since the Access Hollywood tape was leaked. He wanted that one gone so badly, he actually owned up to it and issued an apology for it (before then famously downplaying it as “locker room talk”) and tried to steer the conversation away from it, which worked for the most part.
But just like with the pussy grabbing tape, I expect his base to fall in line with whatever narrative the Trump team eventually crafts to counteract the stream of negative press surrounding it. It just seems like his normal tactic of fire hosing a bunch of outrageous nonsense isn’t working this time.
