Why is this news? It's just a fucking used plane.
Unless there is a stock of underage prostitutes in the minibar this just sounds like a weird coincidence.
Trump has been trying to distance himself from Epstein since 2019 and is currently in the middle of an election. This just brings it up in everyones mind linking the two of them again.
Or, maybe it's an indication that he runs in the same social circles as human traffickers. There are a lot of used planes flying around, and hardly any of them used to belong to a good friend of Trump's who kept women as slaves to rape them, selling them to people like Trump so that Trump could also rape them.
"Lots" of used private planes? In usable service? It's a small world when talking about multi-million dollar conveyance.
This is a nothing burger and a distraction from real headlines we should be hitting with. It's chaff on the social media radar.
Here's a website listing over 200 of them for sale.
https://www.controller.com/listings/for-sale/gulfstream/aircraft
That's just one website, and those are just the ones for sale currently. Sure, they are expensive, but there are also too many self indulgent weiners with too much bloody money.
The orange rapist had so many fond memories of his trips to pedo island on that plane.
His seat on the plane is formed around his ass.
Yes, there are a shit ton available for sale and rent.
While I agree 100% with you, unfortunately this is the kind of stuff that might sway a few “undecided” to not vote for him. Again I’m not saying that’s logical or anything, but this is where ~~we~~ they are…
Trump used epsteins plane in an attempt to cover evidence.
Did yall forget that epstein died under trumps watch?
Or did yall just forget that there is a massive amount of private planes for sale that arent epsteins private jet?
Either way, youre defending a person that is known to be on the lolita express.
Are you sure you’re replying to the right comment? Because I did nothing what you say I did…
Except for downplay opinion on trump renting epsteins private jet.
Nothing at all.
Is it really hot where you are right now?
It's really hot here, thanks for asking!
You say women, but I think children would be a better term. I agree with what you're saying, it's just most of their victims were children.
That is correct.
why is "is kamala indian or black" news? it shouldn't be, but here we are.
this is funny jab, nothing more.
Maybe he's trying make sure there's an excuse for his DNA being all over the plane.
Yeah totally I just flew on Epstein's plane last week because mine was out of service and I have tons of pictures with the guy
Epstein is long dead, if you hadn't heard.
FFS, we got pictures and video of the two chumming it up, and far more than my poor link, and this is a headline?!
"Why is it news that an alleged pedophile is using a know pedophile's plane who he was friends with until his 'suicide'"?
It's not like he owns it though, it's just a chartered plane that probably had tons of previous users and will fly someone else tomorrow.
Sure, just another instance of a decades long coincidence with trump and his pedophile friend Epstein.
Total coincidence
So these 5 planes, sold off after Epstein's death and bought by a chartering company cannot be used ever again by anyone, because Epstein used to own them? And people chartering planes have to research the history of the plane their chartering company is offering for their flight?
When you're a former president who is also accused of being a pedophile rapist, yeah, you really fucking do.
No they shouldn't, they should be in prison, not be able to charter any planes.
I don't know, when I get a taxi I don't ask the driver who owned his car previously. Seems very wasteful to consider vehicles somehow bad based on previous owners.
Of course they should be in prison. But we don't live in a sane society, so this is what we have currently.
Are you running for president? Because if so, you probably should be making sure you're not accidentally giving yourself bad press by doing something stupid. But this is the Trump campaign we're talking about, and they can't even be bothered to double check their venue is a venue and not some random parking lot next to a sex shop.
I absolutely agree it's their fault for getting bad press, and that they should have checked in order to not get bad press. I just don't think the bad press is about something of importance, especially that there is no shortage of illegal things Trump did to write about.
This story is so meaningless I don't have words. It's a blatant take falsely relating Trump and Epstein. As if there's no other evidence.
Remember kids, liberals can be as dumb as conservatives with their social media bullshit. (But I have to say, liberal memes are far more on point. The "couch" shit is getting old, but at least it has some amusement value.)
To us it’s silly and dumb and unnecessary, but not to them who obsess about pedophiles in the government. Just imagine it was the other way around and Harris / Obama / Walz / etc. were using one of Epstein’s old planes. It would be a field day for fascist America.
No other evidence except for pictures, videos, flight logs, statements...
It's a problem for him because this post is here. And in a million other forums across the internet, It's going to be brought up people are going to talk about all the weird s*** these said over the years about liking Epstein. Is this just a PR mistake. Honestly in the room of his PR mistakes it's not even the worst. But it happened and it'll be in the news and will be here because that's just how things work.
