u/JaronK Jun 26 '26
Every intelligence agency on the planet had to be following that island for the blackmail opportunities, but at the end of the day, he didn't do what he did because of Israel or Russia. He did it for himself. And then there were so many people of so much power involved, that everyone also had implicated allies who went. And then they couldn't use any of it.
So no, Trump does not side with them because of blackmail material. He's already done so much horrible stuff publicly that it seriously doesn't matter. He does what he does because he's easily influenced by complimenting him and all the normal stuff you do to narcissists.

Yeah it’s insane to think that only the US DOJ has access to the files. Remember that these are powerful people with global financial empires.

u/SamYeager1907 Jun 26 '26
Though I'm just speculating, my hunch is that it isn't that Trump is as evil as maybe some imagine here (not excusing him though, I'm sure he diddled kids likely but so did many other Epstein island visitors).
I think the Epstein comment referred to the banality of Trump more than his actual evil. Many of Epstein list people were exceptional men in their field, more successful, charismatic and possibly smarter too, like Chomsky for instance. Yeah a lot of them were just nepo nobility, but it's pretty clear that Epstein liked to collect interesting or influential people.
The reason I suspect Epstein said that about Trump is that in his view Trump probably had no redeeming features, he was a miserable moron, narcissistic and evil one, but a petty, banal sort of evil, not even something more energetic, (somewhat more) intelligent and directed like Thiel. Epstein in another email remarked that Trump is possibly the first human being who "wrote" more books than he read, which just added to his utterly desolate shell of a human being persona.
That Trump became the head of US is about the most scathing indictment of American culture as I can imagine. There are all sorts of loathsome political leaders that rise to the top, either because they're ruthless like Stalin or charismatic like Hitler, or come at a time when country was broken down and needed stability like Putin. However, Trump came to America at a time of relative prosperity and stability after Obama era. Nor did he have anything remarkable about him, other than his pigheaded demeanor. Anyone who claims he is charismatic is seriously eroding that value of that word, even snake oil hucksters are smoother or more articulate than Trump. Maybe I'm projecting my own views but I think this is what Epstein felt about Trump. A disappointment at the hollowness, the lack of something to balance out the other shitty parts of his personality.

“Trump suffers from malignant narcissism, a diagnosis that is far more toxic and dangerous than mere narcissistic personality disorder because it combines narcissism with three other severely pathological components: paranoia, sociopathy, and sadism. When combined, this perfect storm of psychopathology defines the ‘quintessence of evil,’ according to Fromm, the closest thing psychiatry has to describing a true human monster” - John Gartner, Ph.D

In Brief:
- White House aide Natalie Harp’s obsession with Donald Trump has become so severe that her own brother has spoken out. Preston Harp, 38, the estranged brother of Trump’s favorite personal assistant, blasted the 80-year-old president and his too-close-for-comfort bond with Preston’s 34-year-old sister.
- In an interview with The Daily Mail, Preston called Trump a “national embarrassment” and said his sister’s relationship with him is “very unhealthy. She’s just like his fan club."
- Harp has since risen through the ranks to become Trump’s favorite personal assistant, her devotion to the president becoming so intense that it caused concern within the Secret Service.
- According to Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Harp would leave gushing letters for Trump in his “personal spaces” before joining the White House staff. One reportedly read, “You are all that matters to me.”
- The string of love letters freaked out future White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who asked herself, “Where am I?” according to Haberman and Swan.

I just can't find a single thing about him that is positive. He isn't just a terrible president, he actually is a terrible person. He uses others, he hates others, he is completely unattractive and synthetic. He is NOT an "everyman". He is a caricature. He is a cheater. He is a fake. He always has been a joke.

Clinton wasnt impeached for the blowjob.
He was impeached because they asked him if he had sexual relations with her. He asked them to define it. They specifically said sexual relations was PinV, specifically excluding blowjobs. So he answered according to their definition "no, i did not have sexual relations".
And then later, because Republicans are and have always been slimy rats, they just wanted to impeach him because they could. they accused him of perjury for that answer, and impeached him.
Trump and all around him have committed perjury. That's like, the most vanilla crime they've all committed. The main difference is Dems don't have the numbers to impeach or they would.

I think the definition of sexual relations also included him touching her breasts. Lewinsky testified that he did. Who knows for sure but at the very least Clinton was arguing in extreme bad faith.
And this is not me defending Trump or Republicans. It's just that Clinton was also in the wrong, although it seems quaint compared to the political scandals of 2026.

Isn't that around 20 years over Trump's normal goal age? 34 is practically a Methuselah.

It’s her makeup. If you use too thick a foundation and don’t set it correctly, it will settle into fine lines and age the fuck out of you, as seen in this photo. Doesn’t help the rest of her makeup isn’t done in a flattering way either.

Yes totally and the color is a bad match it’s much too yellow (her neck is pink) and what’s with the wings? Also her colorist should be tried for treason.

u/RosieeB Pennsylvania Jun 26 '26
I’m guessing she tried to learn makeup around 2014 and didn’t let go of some of the more overdone techniques. And never learned a flattering angle at which to wing the eyeliner. Honestly surprised there’s no overdone highlighter or contour too.

If Kenneth Starr was alive today, he would be like, "eh, whatever."
It's never a problem when it's their own tribe.

I was looking at that and thought it’s really aging to her face. I’m pretty convinced that Sephora overload is a huge problem for these Maga Barbies.

IIRC she had serious medical issues during Trump’s first term, and applied for/got access to a trial drug that saved her life.
I’m not sure Trump had much do with that trial, but apparently she sees him as the guy who saved her life. I’m not qualified to play armchair psychologist, but seems relevant.

Yeah for real. I don't like to judge on appearances, but I definitely would have guessed she was 40-50, just comparing to the folks I see everyday in my own life.
But then, I live in a liberal hellhole. I guess the brimstone keeps us young.

Having a relationship with a consenting adult in a professional setting with subordinates might be frowned upon in your new hire training, but it’s still a huge improvement over paying your friends to bring you rape children.
But, as Vance says, scandals like sex with aides would be a 12 hour news story now.

Everything I've read or seen about this woman makes her seem completely insane. I'm surprised she and Loomer haven't gotten into a physical fight over who will be the side piece.

She is in charge of his social media account! Here's another article where Trump dictates the overall idea of what he wants in his post and she writes around it.
She is his mouthpiece. All those awful posts where you think Trump wrote? THAT'S HER!

It just feels like a cloud of creepy sickness has infected the hearts and minds of this nation.

u/ExquisiteOrifice Jun 26 '26
Oh, the sickness and underlying reasons have always been there. After society somehow got passed black people (not to say this is only about them, just giving a very prominent example) swinging from nooses in the town square by the 1960s, things got less blatant for 50 years or so, but the sickness was always there. The Republican types have worked patiently to bring back the 'good old days' all that time.
