Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with how his administration’s handling of the furor around the Jeffrey Epstein files has dominated the news and overshadowed his agenda, said two people familiar with his thinking.
His exasperation follows weeks of missteps and no clear strategy among top officials who underestimated the outrage, especially from the president’s base, and hoped the country would forget about the unreleased Epstein files and move on, according to nearly a dozen people close to the situation, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal deliberations.
TRUMP BLASTS OBAMA AND CLINTON OVER EPSTEIN CONNECTIONS: “THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE, NOT ME!”
NEW YORK, NY — Former President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on his political rivals, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, claiming that they are the ones truly responsible for the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein’s actions, not him.
In a fiery statement released earlier today, Trump called out both Obama and Clinton for their “connections” to Epstein, saying, “Look, folks, we all know who was REALLY involved. It wasn’t me. It was Obama and Clinton. These two are as deep in Epstein’s world as anyone, and now they want to pretend they didn’t know what was going on? Please.”
Trump pointed to the well-known history of Epstein’s association with the Clinton family, calling it “a total disaster.” “Bill Clintonwas flying around on Epstein ’s private plane, heading to his private island. You can’t get any more involved than that, folks. It’s absolutely unbelievable, but they think they can cover it up. Not on my watch.”
As for Obama, Trump didn’t hold back, accusing the former president of turning a blind eye to Epstein’s behavior. “Obama might act all holier-than-thou now, but let’s not forget, he had Epstein at the White House. He had him over for parties, events – you name it. They probably even had pizza. Big, fancy pizza parties. And guess what? I wasn’t invited. But now, they want to throw the blame on me? Not happening. By the way, at least I never wore a tan suit at any events. Never.”
Trump then added a nod to a notorious moment during Obama’s presidency. “And let’s not forget the Grey Poupon moment. That mustard incident. I was never a fan of the fancy mustard, folks. A real leader knows that you don’t need that stuff. Just a little ketchup. But Obama and Clinton, they want to act like they didn’t know what was happening with Epstein, like they’re innocent in all of this. I think we all know the truth.”
Trump concluded by adding, “Let’s be real here: I’m not responsible for Epstein’s terrible actions. The Clintons and Obama are the ones who need to answer the tough questions. If the media had any guts, they’d focus on that.”
I honestly can’t tell if this is something you just made up or a real article, though I’m leaning toward the former because Trump sounds a little too coherent
I lean heavily towards satire. He did blame Obama and Clinton the other day though. Wasn’t this a late show game?
I was totally buying it until I got to “mustard”
Release the files!
Jail the pedophiles; release the pedo files
Seems like those files would clear things up.
Every accusation is an admission…
(This isn’t a real article, he didn’t actually say this)
Wow, going right in for the pizzagaters. That’s just hilariously desperate.
I burst out laughing on that line. It just so… ridiculous. Like 7th grade gossip
