Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

1. "Epstein stole my fav pedo victim. Waah. Whine." - Trump (r-felon/rapist/golfer)

simpering and whining about his pervo pedo criming -- how republicon is that?

9. Virginia Giuffre explicitly stated Trump didn't take part in the sex with Epstein

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/09/epstein-mar-a-lago-trump-1456221

The unsealed files don’t appear to include any allegation that Trump had sex with Giuffre or other women working for Epstein.

Giuffre also denied aspects of a reporter’s claim that she said: “Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s. He didn’t partake in any sex with any of us but he flirted with me. He’d laugh and tell Jeffrey, ‘you’ve got the life.’”

“’Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s.’ That part is true. ‘He didn’t partake in any’ of — any sex with any of us but he flirted with me.’ It’s true that he didn’t partake in any sex with us, but it’s not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me,” Giuffre clarified later.

Note, however that Giuffre effectively said that Trump had to know what Epstein was doing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/17/trump-epstein-relationship-records/

She said that anyone who visited Epstein’s house would have seen his many nude photos of women displayed on the walls. “These are salacious acts of girls, young girls doing things to each other that would be considered child pornography,” Giuffre testified. “If you walked foot into Jeffrey Epstein’s house and you went in there and you continued to be an acquaintance of his then you would have to know what was going on there.”

2. He's making it worse for himself every time he opens his mouth.

[tanyev]

10. And here I didn't think he was limber enough to stick both feet in his mouth.

[Ocelot II]

11. He seems to be limber enough to stick his head up his own ass.

If he keeps going maybe he'll disappear completely.

what a dumb fuck

3. "Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide ........

I had to look her up as I only vaguely recalled her name. She is a very sad story.

4. Wow. Just Wow.

I got nothing. Just wow.

5. The timing and Trump's knowledge: Year 2000: Epstein-Maxwell "took" Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago, 2002: Trump said

Here's the very disturbing part of this

The timing and Trump's knowledge:

Year 2000: Epstein-Maxwell "took" Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago

2002: Trump said most infamous line about Epstein being a "terrific" friend and liking "younger" ones

Only in 2004: Trump rupture with Epstein

6. I was just gonna post this. Unbelievable.

What is going on with this idiot saying Epstein "stole" his people like they are his possessions? And the corporate media continues to treat his pronouncements as normal and sanewashing them. They wouldn't accept this from the drunk on the corner.

[prodigitalson]

7. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that his "I never had the pleasure" of going to this island comment.

means he never got invited...of which he is glad now, but still pissed.

he even said he got invited....that alone means he didn't

i'm serious

[Wiz Imp]

14. Virginia Giuffre said she Believes Trump was in Epstein's home on the island.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-virginia-giuffre-201523363.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAE-XzkwEQ6a_M6A6c-6dqyGdIMjF3BBlckEx3EcYzCIZvYPzz2kNXerchHpF6wFdtvOvSarI80bJi4bV034wcvPZuAF6q02awOjSkqcgDreM4EdNTzJ2Ns68co4AQMI_jL1gSTUmfSLjlHer0FLvE5Ae9VUa-FOcco_NNUKPr6EX

"I don't think Donald Trump participated in anything," Giuffre said, according to the deposition. "That would have to be another assumption. I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in those acts, but was he in the house of Jeffrey Epstein. I've heard he has been, but I haven't seen him myself so I don't know."

[mwmisses4289]

17. I would suspect the opposite, as it seems like every time he says I didn't do something, he actually did.

I suspect he went to the island at least a few times.
He is in damage mode, trying to distant himself from epstein. When a reporter in Scotland asked him about it, he claimed he had nothing to do with epstein.

[prodigitalson]

21. I think most people in the know...victims, said they never saw him there...

Manhattan and Palm Beach absolutely.

[mwmisses4289]

23. If he didn't, this may be one of the very few times in his life he might be telling the truth.

[newdeal2]

8. Someone needs to look into these Trump spas

Maybe they were a front for other illegal activities.

[UTUSN]

13. And the services - stated & unstated - of the employees

[riversedge]

12. Here is some more of the same conversation..........

And there it is.

Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young girls from him at Mar-a-Lago’s “spa” and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.

16. emptywheel gives us Trumps words..........

Did Trump Just Confess He Learned about Virginia Giuffre before Jeffrey Epstein Recruited Someone Else at Mar-a-Lago?
https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/29/did-trump-just-confess-he-learned-about-virginia-giuffre-before-jeffrey-epstein-recruited-someone-else-at-mar-a-lago/

Update: In a Gaggle today, Trump did just confess this is about Giuffre and others.

Reporter 1: I’m just curious. Were some of the workers that were taken from you — were some of them young women?

Trump: Were some of them?

Reporter 1: Were some of them young women?

Trump: Well, I don’t wanna say, but everyone knows the people that were taken. It was, the concept of taking people that work for me is bad. But that story’s been pretty well out there. And the answer is, yes, they were.

[inaudible]

Trump: In the spa. People that work in the spa. I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago. And people were taken out of the spa. Hired. By him. In other words, gone. And um, other people would come and complain. This guy is taking people from the spa. I didn’t know that. And then when I heard about it I told him, I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether they were spa or not spa. I don’t want him taking people. And he was fine and then not too long after that he did it again and I said Out of here.

Reporter 2: Mr. President, did one of those stolen persons, did that include Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: Uh, I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah. He stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know. None whatsoever. .................................

[tanyev]

18. That "in the spa" paragraph got a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score of 2.23 in Readability Analyzer.

It’s so horrifying that anyone could hear him speak and think he ought to be the president of a country of 300 million people.

[democratsruletheday]

20. He's either....

A) dumb as a box of rocks
B) has full on dementia or..........C)both

[senseandsensibility]

15. I find it beyond infuriating that the corporate media

is ignoring this. He made these statements to the white house "press" corps today. Am I understanding this correctly? And CNN and MSNBC have nothing to say on the matter? I thought I was not capable of being shocked, but wow.

[videohead5]

22. The question is

Why were underage girls working in a spa at Mar-A-Lago in the first place?
