    How would this be a surprise to anybody? He’s already been proven to have numerous ties to Epstein. His base simply doesn’t care.

      Lets face it, we could have a video of trump raping those kids himself and they still would vote for him. Facts are irrelevant to cults, they are immunized against reality

        “If Trump is raping kids live on camera, just imagine what the Demonrats are doing they’re too scared to film!”

          Anyone who watches the video is a pedophile and can’t be trusted!

          Edit: Not even a joke. The GOP rolls out faultier logic on the daily.

          “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” -Trump

          We all thought he was talking about a gun.

        It’s because they want to be him. Just like how they all don’t want to punish millionaires because they all think they’re going to wind up as one someday, they don’t want to punish their guys for breaking the law because they want to be able to break the law with impunity someday too.

          It’s all too easy to imagine the mental gymnastics.

          “She was 17/16/whatever, not a real child anyway” “There is no sign in the video that she is not consenting, this is a private matter” “The democrats are sick for obsessing over this”

      His base will worship him more for it. He’s essentially a black hole (orange hole?) at this point, his people have passed the event horizon and can’t turn back.

      It’s not a “surprise” not did anyone say it was. It justnt clear before WHICH person in the docs Trump was. Now it is.
