Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Cancelling the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the most watched late night show in the US, shows real fear in Trump and his conservatives because Colbert has no fear of pointing out the Truth.

Fear is the tool of the Tyrant. (Maureen COmey)

Very interesting choice of words: "Produce", not "release".

Still plays into conspiracy theories. As others have suggested, I'd expect any evidence to be sacrificial lambs or heavily redacted or newly "produced".

Murdoch is no fool. He wouldn't have allowed the story to be printed if they couldn't prove the letter is genuine especially considering how litigious Trump is.

Trump can tweet all he wants about suing but I wonder does he really want all this discussed in court.

I am finding it pretty funny that the posters who would frequently go on about TDS have virtually disappeared... It's almost like they're even a bit stuck in terms of what to say.

As Ted Lieu points out…

Trump is all over the Epstein files.

There are:

-photographs of Trump with Epstein

-videos of Trump with Epstein

-quotes by Trump of Epstein

-plane logs of Trump on Epstein’s plane

-court pleadings naming Trump

And now this...

I wonder what those "certain things in common" are...

Imagine if they nail pedophile links to a US president.

Trumps immediate cries of fake news makes him look guilty as hell.

Absolutely, I hope it all spills out, I really do, nail the fucker to the wall.

Oh please let Trump sue Murdoch

The discovery will be interesting.

There can't be a single person who believes that letter is a 'fake'. Whatever its significance, good or bad, he clearly had a close friendship with Epstein and wasn't just a casual acquaintance who was on nodding terms with him.

From a convicted rapist to a person convicted of assisting a convicted rapist, all of whom were well known to each other…. One thing that's been in my mind for some time now is Trumps "wishing" Maxwell well after she was convicted and put in prison. He made the point of saying it twice. This was after Epstein had died while in custody in 2019. Maxwell had been denied bail and held in custody before her conviction and imprisonment in 2020.

AFAIK, she was held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre, NYC. The centre seems to be also known as the Metropolitan Correction Centre, NYC. I do not know if the Centre has two titles to cover the fact it might house both male and female remand and convicted prisoners in separate wings as it were or if both Epstein and Maxwell were held in different NYC centres.

At this present time, it seems that Maxwell is applying for a retrial, however slim that chance might be, and if it were granted, I can see that some persons would not be at all happy with a rehash of personal connections and evidential matters in court to the media.

They are all over the place...

Ron Johnson suggests Democrats tampered with the Epstein files: "I do know that the Epstein files were in the custody of the Biden administration. I don't know to what extent they added or deleted things."

So firstly there are files, and they will be released when Trump gets in, then there are no files, then there are files, but the Democrats created fake ones, and now we have there are files, but the real ones were doctored by the Democrats. Gotcha.

One question Mr. Johnson... If the Democrats did have the files, and altered them to make Trump look bad.. why didn't they release them in an effort to make him look bad so that they wouldn't lose the election? 🤔

The words on the 'birthday card' don't read like something Trump would come up with. He's far more blunt and hasn't the vocabulary or capacity for writing that.
