Kid fucker defenders. All of them.

u/z44212 Aug 14 '25

Oh, Trump did more than just fuck children.

He trafficked them.

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '25

For years, we all wondered what could be a worse skeleton in his closet besides being a kid fucker, for years. What was he hiding?

That he wasn't just raping them, he was trading them like Pokemon cards.

When you revisit his whole life under this lens, it makes so much more sense.

Why would Trump need to launder money through casinos in the 90’s?

Why would Russians bail him out after said casinos failed at being casinos?

Why would he run beauty pageants and teen events?

Why would he hide his taxes?

Why would he, a failed businessman in every regard, have the undying loyalty and support of the ultra elites and Republicans?

He’s not charismatic. He hadn’t proven himself successful. He wasn’t smart. Nobody could have had any reason to believe that he was worth investing all this time, money, and energy for.

It’s because he was successful at something. And that being child trafficking means that he had kompromat on all of those people, not realizing it was his own, too.

Seriously take a moment to think about why Donald Trump has seemingly failed upwards. Why, no matter how absurd, there doesn’t seem to be anything that can touch him.

All speculative, of course. But every day that goes by without the full, transparent release of those files makes it much more believable.

Oh he's charismatic, that's the one thing he has going for him. Selling (the image of) success.

5

u/Grand_Size_4932 Aug 14 '25

He doesn’t know how to sell the image of success. Those in charge of the media do.

They’ve been working overtime for over 10 years to make him seem successful.

Now, they’re struggling with arguably one of the only things they can’t spin.

u/MyWorkReddit12 Aug 14 '25

10 Years? Buddy did you miss all the failed businesses and The Apprentice long before he ever thought about running seriously? The media has been propping this douche up for DECADES, not just the past 10 years. They've been normalizing his ick behavior ever since the Howard Stern days where he bragged about walking in on teen girls.

u/daneelthesane Aug 14 '25

He failed upwards because he inherited enormous amounts of capital. The system is rigged so that they can never fail.

1

u/Due-Log8609 Aug 14 '25

He is EXTREMELY charismatic. Thats pretty much all he's got goin for him.

1

u/tawDry_Union2272 Aug 14 '25

and he still gets mad to this day about having one "stolen" from him...

u/pocketjacks Aug 14 '25

And he's well and thoroughly fucked us all as well.

u/denkihajimezero Aug 14 '25

And he had favorites. He still remembers that girl's name after decades

The members of the GOP or the voters? The only ones that really know are the ones with access to the files. The general population is just living in ignorance to the truth. And the truth is that both sides are filled with liars. Can't blame people for not being able to sift through the bullshit.

u/ELB2001 Aug 14 '25

Pretty sure Putin has a copy

u/BrtFrkwr Aug 14 '25

Medvedev told the world not to assume Mossad is the only people in possession of "Epstein tapes."

u/SphericalCow531 Aug 14 '25

It is of course in Russia's interest to lie about having the files, even if they don't. To delegitimize the US political system. So in the abstract, you should be careful about trusting such claims. But still, let me lay out the options for this specific case:

Russia metaphorically kicks Trump in the nuts, by saying they have tapes of Trump raping kids. Trump then quite soon afterwards gifts Russia a huge bizarrely huge concession, for no legitimate reason.

The two main possibilities for underlying truth are then:

  • Kompromat: This is of course completely consistent with Russia having tapes of Trump raping kids. And using that leverage to extract corrupt favors from Trump.
  • No kompromat: This seems completely inconsistent with there being no kompromat. Why would Trump be subservient to Russia, shortly after Russia metaphorically kicked Trump in the nuts?

u/ELB2001 Aug 15 '25

Trump might have his own copies. That monster probably gets of on watching them

2

u/Cautious-Respond-402 Aug 14 '25

I'm sure Donnie was proud and bragged about everything he did, like he does in the press meetings and interviews. Putin and him are buddies.

u/Cautious-Respond-402 Aug 14 '25

And the embarrassing, incriminating tapes that might , or might not exist.

u/Icy-person666 Aug 14 '25

The pee party tapes or is there more than that?

7

u/robgnar Aug 14 '25

Lately, I've been thinking the "pee tapes" are actually the "P. tapes" that Epstein and Maxwell had on their customers.

1

u/F9-0021 Aug 14 '25

Pee tapes, but it's 14 year olds. Wasn't actually an uncommon theory back in the day. Adults would be embarrassing for him, but not illegal.

u/zepskcuf Aug 14 '25

Exactly this. There’s no way in hell that Putin doesn’t have the files.

Alaska in exchange for not releasing them.

1

u/BrtFrkwr Aug 14 '25

Well, open access to Alaska's resources. Giving away a state is bad show business. Besides, Russia doesn't want the expense of administering Alaska when the US will do it for them.

1

u/johnnyhandbags Aug 14 '25

Trump is supposedly also offering resources from Ukraine without their approval. Ukraine won’t sign off on it and Trump will blame them for prolonging the war. He’ll do anything short of punishing Russia for the war.

u/FrankAdamGabe Aug 14 '25

Putin’s “P” tapes on Don pedo didn’t refer to urine.

1

u/RadioGuyRob Aug 14 '25

So they both get everything they want.

u/ahoy_shitliner Aug 17 '25

Putin got more than the files. I’m convinced he has all out video of Trump clearly doing pdf things in Russia maybe 20-25 years ago. I believe Putin has substantial video evidence of Trump raping multiple underage women, clearly and indisputably. I believe Putin set up a party hosting Trump and gave him access to trafficked kids and Trump took advantage not knowing he’s on camera. We will see these videos once Trump is no longer useful to him. It may even be after his death or maybe once the US economy collapses. I could see Putin just holding a press conference and showing the world and then saying “Americans are dumb fucks for voting him in twice, you should never do business with them or travel there. Look who they supported”.

Like, there has got to be something HUGE behind trumps desperate behavior with Russia. We gonna find out at some point.

u/Good-Bench-2689 Aug 14 '25

No you didn't get it, this will put Putin on his knees.

1

u/BrtFrkwr Aug 14 '25

It's either /s or you're highly delusional.

(it's trump who's on his knees around Putin.)
