And, by "people", he means himself, I guess?
He's the only one who exists to himself all the time
When you envision him as a solipsist, every single decision makes sense. Well that plus a malignant narcissist who squandered a fortune and made a lot of very shady 'friends' along the way.
he still working on object permanence he's still a developing boy 👶
Yah, it’s like how he conflates himself with America when he makes fascist statements such as ‘this will destroy America.’
It's the same "people" who always seem to be "saying" what he's thinking at any given moment.
Him and the other pedos in the files.
No, there are absolutely other very important wealthy people who are tied to Epstein. I saw a picture of Bezos and Eric Schmidt with Maxwell that supposedly was dated 2018.
There are going to be very important people who used Epstein and not all will be people you dislike.
Jokes on you; I dislike everyone.
Yeah, seriously. Going to have to try a lot harder than those two examples 😁
The people who will be hurt by the release of the Epstein files are people we need to hurt.
Exactly, it's the whole point. I don't care who is there, if they were involved they need to be punished.
It's hilarious all the conservatives are like, "but Bill Clinton is in them too!" As if we give a flying fuck if that whole family gets destroyed from the files.
Isn't this actually the argument they are making to release Maxwell from prison? That the evidence proves her so guilty that she could not possibly have a fair trial.
If by 'people' we mean rich men who have no regard for other people and feel they are outside the law, then yes, people. Better to call them what they are rich criminal men. Those criminals are the ones they are afraid of hurting not the actual victims of their abuse.
There is only one people Trump cares about, you do the math
MTG stands for Magic: The Gathering.
A deckmaster game.
yes, the correct people
If it wasn't so upsetting it would be funny that the people motivated by fury over elite pedophiles elected the biggest most elite pedophile to be their president.
"People" meaning him
"Hurt" meaning real consequences for his actions
Which people?
RICH WHITE MEN
*who fuck kids. There are many rich white people who do not fuck kids.
Give me their names.
pediatrists....or pedos
That’s the point. Protect the victims. Anyone else, prison. But yeah, that’s the whole point of releasing them. To hurt those that are involved in a human trafficking and pedophile ring.
I'm sure it would, but lack of accountability hurts everybody
Exactly!
If releasing a list of people who raped children would hurt those people, then I say too fucking bad maybe they need to be hurt a little bit.
That's the whole point, isn't it? Exposing criminals and charging them will hurt them in all sorts of ways. Personal responsibility suggests that if you made your own bed then you lie in it. If you get a bunch of "powerful" cohorts doing the same thing it becomes a criminal conspiracy cabal with certain protections built in. I guess they find themselves "tween" a rock and a hard place.
"They're hurting the wrong people"
"hurt people" as a reason not to release the files
good. the "people" in this case are child rapist pedophiles. so yes, fucking hurt them.
I think Trump meant there are a lot of everyday people in the files, you know firemen, teachers, engineers , those sort of people and since he's charged with protecting his people he just wants to... I'm sorry there's just no way to justify NOT hurting the pedophiles. The victims have already come out in favor of this so I don't see that argument holding water.
OK, OK... Would you perhaps be willing to elaborate on which specific people maybe?
The kids trump and his friends raped weren't people. /s
The people in those files hurt children. Now I know Trump and the GOP don't actually care about children or even really pretend to, but still.
You know, it was just boys being boys. They've got their whole futures ahead of them!
^but only if they're white or really rich^
^or good at sports^
Everyone assumes he means himself, but I think this is more of a veiled threat to her safety.
So hurting young women is okay, but hurting offender is not. Got it. Get F’d.
lol ... sounds a lot like the evangelical preacher with the million dollar private jet who asked his parishers to give more money to buy a second jet because it would save more people
(I remembered this story from a few years ago and thought it was 'a second jet' ... I was wrong ... the preacher was asking for donations to buy his FOURTH JET!!!)
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44305873
Trump isn't running a country .... he's an evangelical preacher leading a ministry called the United States
It does raise a question of just how many jets a single person needs. I, myself, could make do with as few as two, but I have a large family. I'm sure someone who lived a more frugal lifestyle might struggle by with only one? But I don't see anyone needing more than three. It's just so hard to find places to park them all...
Who the hell on Earth needs 4 jets?
MTG is smarter than we've been giving her credit for.
She bailed out of Congress just after her pension kicked in, and before the midterms.
She'll be a talking head/pundit, sitting on the sidelines as the GOP goes down in flames, and then run in 2028 as the MAGats new hero.
It just got too toxic when she turned on Trump. Pension was coincidence that it was only a couple months away so announce to take the heat off and stick around doing nothing.
Other people already pointed out that she never received a credible threat from Antifa or the LGBTQ+ community. The second she made a move against Trump she saw her life was in danger.
