President Donald Trump has offered up yet another sacrifice in his ongoing attempts to divert attention from renewed interest in the Jeffrey Epstein files: Oprah Winfrey.

Trump doubled down on conspiracy theories surrounding his Democratic opponents in a Truth Social post on Saturday night. “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election,” the president announced, before going on to accuse the Kamala Harris campaign of “paying, probably illegally,” millions of dollars for celebrity endorsements.

Trump accused Harris of paying Beyoncé $11 million to appear at a Houston rally, adding, “She never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!” He also accused the Harris campaign of spending $3 million on “expenses” for Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to “very low rated TV ‘anchor,’ Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!)” for doing “absolutely NOTHING!“

3. Fine. We need to countersue for the "paid endorsements" he got from

Eloon Musk, Peter Theil, Jeff Bezos, and all of the other billionaires who financed HIS campaign. Because that's basically what he's claiming. about these people. Good enough for me, but not for thee, because "uggady-boogady black ladies"... I fucking blows my mind that there are people out there who are buying his bullshit, especially this goddamn nonsense.

4. Jealous much?

Slandering Dem celebrities that he would have been thrilled to have endorsing him.

5. Want some cheese with that whine?

[onethatcares]

6. funny he would say this shit

after the 'VIEW" goes on hiatus for the summer.

[Johonny]

7. Either put up or shut up

He won't prosecute because these people will eat him alive in court so fucking shut the fuck up.

8. what a waste of oxygen

9. Do it, Donny.

Oprah can afford lawyers that would run rings around your DOJ.
