Why is this news? It’s just a fucking used plane.

Unless there is a stock of underage prostitutes in the minibar this just sounds like a weird coincidence.

Trump has been trying to distance himself from Epstein since 2019 and is currently in the middle of an election. This just brings it up in everyones mind linking the two of them again.

Or, maybe it’s an indication that he runs in the same social circles as human traffickers. There are a lot of used planes flying around, and hardly any of them used to belong to a good friend of Trump’s who kept women as slaves to rape them, selling them to people like Trump so that Trump could also rape them.

You say women, but I think children would be a better term. I agree with what you’re saying, it’s just most of their victims were children.

“Lots” of used private planes? In usable service? It’s a small world when talking about multi-million dollar conveyance.

This is a nothing burger and a distraction from real headlines we should be hitting with. It’s chaff on the social media radar.

Here’s a website listing over 200 of them for sale.

That’s just one website, and those are just the ones for sale currently. Sure, they are expensive, but there are also too many self indulgent weiners with too much bloody money.

While I agree 100% with you, unfortunately this is the kind of stuff that might sway a few “undecided” to not vote for him. Again I’m not saying that’s logical or anything, but this is where we they are…

Maybe he’s trying make sure there’s an excuse for his DNA being all over the plane.

Epstein’s plane

Epstein is long dead, if you hadn’t heard.

FFS, we got pictures and video of the two chumming it up, and far more than my poor link, and this is a headline?!

“Why is it news that an alleged pedophile is using a know pedophile’s plane who he was friends with until his ‘suicide’”?

It’s not like he owns it though, it’s just a chartered plane that probably had tons of previous users and will fly someone else tomorrow.

It’s a problem for him because this post is here. And in a million other forums across the internet, It’s going to be brought up people are going to talk about all the weird s*** these said over the years about liking Epstein. Is this just a PR mistake. Honestly in the room of his PR mistakes it’s not even the worst. But it happened and it’ll be in the news and will be here because that’s just how things work.

This story is so meaningless I don’t have words. It’s a blatant take falsely relating Trump and Epstein. As if there’s no other evidence.

Remember kids, liberals can be as dumb as conservatives with their social media bullshit. (But I have to say, liberal memes are far more on point. The “couch” shit is getting old, but at least it has some amusement value.)

To us it’s silly and dumb and unnecessary, but not to them who obsess about pedophiles in the government. Just imagine it was the other way around and Harris / Obama / Walz / etc. were using one of Epstein’s old planes. It would be a field day for fascist America.
