A mysterious statue popped up overnight of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands.

The 12-foot-tall statue—made mostly of foam and wire, but painted bronze—is accompanied by three plaques. The middle plaque reads “In Honor of Friendship Month: We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein.” It then directly references the introduction to the strange letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein for the pedophile financier’s 50th birthday book: “Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.”

“Liberals are free to waste their money however they see fit—but it’s not news that Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” a White House spokesperson told TMZ. “Democrats, the media, and the organization that’s wasting their money on this statue knew about Epstein and his victims for years and did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, and is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents.”

I've taken hangover shits that don't smell as bad as this flaming pile of bullshit.

Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep

Creep (n): Someone who steals a ~~girl~~ rape victim you already own.

To be fair she was fully depreciated, and he had the check to prove ownership.

Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep

That sounds wrong. Shouldn't we be talking about Epstein's club here? And wasn't being a creep a requirement to join? So what is Trump's "club"? Mar-a-Lago? MAGA?

it’s not news that Epstein knew Donald

No it isn't. But we'll keep bringing it up, and you know why.

They're talking about mar a Lago. The narrative was that Trump kicked Epstein out from the club after the allegations came out or whatever.

Of course, in true Trump fashion, he accidentally let the real reason slip when he said that Epstein had "stolen" one of his girls. I am not making this up.

How fitting.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 week ago

That headline is misleading to the point of being flat out untrue.

An unnamed white house spokesperson who's obviously MUCH better at coherence and anger management than the Mango Mussolini himself reacted with a pack of lies.

I came here for the incoherent rage of the child dictator himself, not the professional response of an underling I've already seen elsewhere!

How about them files?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Well, that was fast.

Are we still crafting statues about Jeffery Epstein?
