60 Minutes has been such a fucking propaganda outlet since CBS got bought by Trump's billionaire buddy, Larry Ellison, and EVEN STILL, it's not enough for him.

Literally the most soft-ball interview imaginable, the interviewer read a short excerpt from the alleged shooter's manifesto about fighting pedophiles - it didn't even directly accuse him!!! - and he freaked out, started saying "I'm not a pedophile" and whinging about how disgusting and disgraceful the interviewer is for bringing it up.

It's the most self-reporting behavior imaginable.

He also said he's not a rapist but there is trial that says otherwise.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 week ago

The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn't help but make it about himself.

Isn't this how most people get caught? You say something in general then the accuser defends themselves. If he's not a pedo then release the files

If only someone could release the Epstein files in their entirety with a wave of a pen, this whole thing could be sorted and put to rest.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 75 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wouldn't even need a pen, it would just require complying with the law.

[-] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 42 points 1 week ago

Doesn't need a pen. He can declassify them by just thinking it.

Narrator: He was in fact a pedophile

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 120 points 1 week ago

Not only a pedophile. He’s also a rapist of children.

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 week ago

And don't forget all his other crimes. War crimes, crimes against humanity, white collar crimes, extortion, corruption, etc.

[-] prodaccess@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Probably massive insider trading too

And quite possibly an infant murderer, according to some reports. And possibly much more.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 27 points 1 week ago

The Epstein Files aside, I have long ago stopped being surprised at the level of depravity he will stoop to. No matter how outlandish something is, he will surpass it, every time.

So when they start talking about dead babies and such, my Critical Thinking Skills no longer say "That's too crazy to believe," they say "Well, he's turned out to be guilty of every other outlandish thing that he's been accused of, so why shouldn't we believe this?"

Nixon: “I am not a crook!”

Was a crook, after all.

trump: “I am not a pedophile!”

…multiple, repeated allegations and testimony.

Hmmm…

[-] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Best mate was arguably the world's most notorious pedophile.....

O’Donnell then asked the president about his reaction to Allen’s rationalization that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

“I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” the president replied. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump interrupted.

lmao gottem

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

At least he is aware of his reputation as a pedophile. Sometimes I wonder how out of touch with reality he is.

But they said he was several times.

He never sued once ? Captain litigious can deny all he want but he hasn’t sued anyone who called him a pedophile.

That’s weird

If you're not a pedophile then remove all redactions of your name from the Trump/Epstein files and release them all. After all, the saying is "the Truth shall set you free" right?

Geez, I wonder why would anyone want to kill such a nice old gentleman.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It’s like when I walk into every room and inform everyone that I’m not a murderer. There’s always some asshole who thinks that means I am a murderer.

Like, dude, I just told you I wasn’t.

I believe he believes he’s not a pedo or a rapist.

Does what he believes matter? Not one bit.

Mm. Medically a pedophile is someone attracted to prepubescent children. Usually due to underlying brain malfunction.

What trump is is a child raping abuser who does it for the thrill and power.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Totally what a pedophile would say.

Also rapes adults. As determined by a court of law.

[-] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised he didn't pull a "Well actuallyyyy, it's ephebophilia"

[-] the_armchair_potato@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Just ask yourself what the Russians or mossad have on him? They must have something real juicey, that he is willing to sacrifice 1000's of lives to protect his reputation. Although, for most, his reputation is already disgusting and corrupt.

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 week ago

I don't think he sees it as sacrificing lives he just sees the money and that's all that matters. He doesn't have enough of a conscience to care about anything else.

"...because a paedophile likes pre-pubescent children." he continued.

[-] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

He feels safe enough to utter that shit. If only the left had a fraction of the right-wing propaganda apparatus. There should be three times the January 6 crowd taking him straight to the scaffold. Yet here we are watching a fascist dystopia installing itself, in slow motion.

Trump: “I am not a pedophile. Those girls looked very mature and wore make-up, beautiful make-up.”

Reporter: “Next up, the new winner of the Beauty Pageant contest Princess of America, Claudette, 4, and why everybody wants to meet her”
