LOS ANGELES (OC).–Answering question from the press, 79-year-old President Donald Trump got a bit exasperated listening to the fake news ask a question about deceased, disgraced financial investor Jeffrey Epstein who died Aug. 10, 2019 of self-inflicted wounds at Rikers Island prison awaiting trial for various sex crimes.  Epstein owned his own 78-acre island Little St. James where he hosted sex parties for his friends-and-acquaintances now subject of unending media curiosity.  Fake new wants, of course, to tie Trump to Epstein’s shenanigans, discrediting Trump anyway possible.  Asking a question about Epstein to Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi about an alleged list with various celebrities named as Epstein’s guests, Trump showed his disgust.  “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?  This guy’s been talked about for years,” Trump said, showing impatience with the fake news.

            Trump thinks the world has moved on since Epstein’s Aug. 10, 2019 death at Rikers Island prison, some claiming he was murdered, not death by suicide.  “You’re asking we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.  And are people still talking about this guy? And are people still talking about this guy?  This creep?  That is unbelievable,” Trump said, not realizing the fake news was after his role played during the Epstein scandal. Trump knows that the fake news interest in the Epstein case involves the extent he was involved in traveling to Epstein’s private island.  “I mean, I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we’re having some of the greatest successes and also tragedy, with what happens in Texas,” Trump said.  “It just seems like desecration.”  Trump was clearly annoyed by the reporter’s question.

            Justice Department reported yesterday that there was no so-called client list giving names, dates and details regarding anyone that participated at one time in Epstein’s time at his Little Sweet St. James island in the Virgin Islands. Fake news was hoping Bondi would disclose a client’s list that included politicians, celebrities, socialites and certainly Trump.  Bondi also dispelled any lingering rumors that Epstein died by anything but suicide.  Conspiracy theorists fantasized that Epstein was silenced at Rikers Island because was threatened to sing like a canary. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Directory Dan Bongino were all under pressure to release what was known about the Epstein affair.  With Bondi saying that nothing exists, the fake news and other anti-Trump Democrats and Republicans want to dig up more dirt on Trump.

            Whatever Epstein’s problems that no doubt were many, many people thought he was murdered at Rikers island to prevent him from outing famous people at his impending criminal trial, something that never happened. Now the fake news accuses the Justice Department of covering up the whole Epstein affair.  Trump can’t imagine that anyone really cares about Epstein, when they’re looking to dig up dirt on him. So, when it comes to Trump getting annoyed at another fake news reporter, it’s no accident.  On the verge of possible peace in Gaza, Trump hoped the press would focus on current events, not something that happened 20 years ago.  Epstein managed to make a lot of money on Wall Street to feed his obsession for underage minors at his Virgin Islands retreat. Epstein was probably an undiagnosed bipolar disorder that ran around like a lunatic.

            When you look at the fake news spending so much time discrediting Trump’s daring, complex and risky bombing mission in Iran, you’d think the fake news would give him some credit for setting back Iran’s nuke program.  Fake news refused to admit that Trump created lasting damage to Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, known for enriching U-235 to 60%, on 30% less than weapons grade material.  Today’s most sophistical power-generating nuclear reactions take fuel rods and pellets enriched to just over 5%, with most reactors using 3-5% nuke fuel.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had no doubt what Iran intended to do with the 60% enriched U-235, and its wasn’t for peaceful purposes.  So when Netanyahu spent 12 days dismantling Iran’s nuke capability and military defenses, it was to protect Israel against Iran’s breakout time to a bomb.

            Questions about Epstein annoy Trump because he knows the fake news has the sickest of motives looking for more conspiracies.  No one can prove that Bondi, Patel and Bongino are holding anything back from the public but that’s they doubt the fake news wants to sew into public opinion.  Trump’s never going to stop the fake news from pushing its Democrat-driven agenda all designed to score points in the 2026 Midterm elections.  Democrats hoped they could destroy Trump approval ratings, blaming him for spreading inflation with his tariff schemes and tanking Wall Street.  But with Wall Street roaring back to make all-time highs, it’s getting difficult for Democrats and the fake news to argue Trump has tanked the economy.  Food and energy prices are down, just like Trump promised.  Only Democrats and the fake news can continue spreading its propaganda.
