Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress, and the president’s allies across right-wing media have been trying everything to make public backlash to their botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation go away, amid reports that Trump himself appears in the government’s files pertaining to the convicted sex offender.

The administration’s attempts to bury the story have been complicated by some of Epstein’s victims, and their families, speaking out as the scandal has intensified. Trump hasn’t engaged with them, but just because the president is publicly keeping his mouth shut about Epstein’s victims and their family members doesn’t mean he isn’t annoyed by them.

In recent weeks, according to two sources familiar with his private remarks, Trump has repeatedly critiqued the string of media appearances by Epstein accusers and their families, arguing that some of them are just trying to make him look bad, or implying that he did something wrong during his time as one of Epstein’s friends and party companions. At times, Trump has said that some of these people speaking out are, in his words, clearly of a “Democrat” political affiliation, while wondering aloud if some of them are coordinating with prominent liberal attorneys or groups.


“None of this is true,” a White House official said in response to a request for comment. “Just another desperate attempt by the failing Rolling Stone.”

Survivors of Epstein’s abuse have for weeks now been criticizing the Trump administration’s handling of the case after the Justice Department announced in early July that it would not be releasing the so-called Epstein files. .....................

1. They don't realize how bad that sounds

These people just need to keep talking and the hole gets deeper and deeper

[Bayard]

2. Oh, yeah, Miller--trump loves children a little too much

I'm sure once trump's victims reached voting age, they did vote Democratic. They were tired of being fucked by trump.

[Grokenstein]

16. It is my understanding that Kinko the Clown loved them too. Really, reaaaaally.

TW: Very grim '80s humor against a very disturbing subject

[BoRaGard]

3. Every accusation is an admission of republicon guilt

Epstein, Trump, Maxwell - all the lowlife GOP pedo pervs

[BaronChocula]

4. You'd think everyone would be a Democrat

after being f*c*ed by trump. Apparently not if your a white farmer.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Psychopaths usually demonize their victims to justify rape and murder.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Omigod! Omigod! So he dehumanized the

[AntiFascist]

7. The victims must be part of the Deep State....

[mdbl]

8. There has to be an extra-special place in hell waiting for Mr Dump.

9. In Melaaahiaaaaah's voice. "Oh, those people" in five languages.

[IbogaProject]

10. Telling admission

I notice the story keeps shifting from any claim of innocence. So we should just assume he is a pedophile since he really isnt denying it.

[IronLionZion]

11. Epstein must have had tons of victims. They can't silence all of them.

It's very telling that he thinks they would not be GOP, who are apparently OK with their abuse.

They would support the party that wants them to get justice and deter other predators.

[Torchlight]

12. A little more every day. A little more every week

This story's certainly not going away, and I just don't think trump has the Teflon to go the distance with it on his back. Each response looks worse than the one before, and each finger pointed seems to curl right back in their direction. La Brea tar pits would be more relaxing to escape from.

13. If Krasnov raped them, it's really a good bet, they didn't vote for the creep who ruined their lives.

[Gimpyknee]

14. When the revolution comes off goes Miller's head.

[live love laugh]

15. Yes ... yes he REALLY loves children.

[Wonder Why]

17. You mean because the predators are all republicans?

[maxsolomon]

18. Hateful sociopath.

That's how they think of us - Democrats are Domestic Enemies.

[Orrex]

19. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[FakeNoose]

20. Was he talking to "Democrats" when he made his campaign promise to release the Epstein tapes?

I don't think so!

If he was ... we weren't listening, and his voters were.
