TRUMP BLASTS OBAMA AND CLINTON OVER EPSTEIN CONNECTIONS: "THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE, NOT ME!"
NEW YORK, NY — Former President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on his political rivals, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, claiming that they are the ones truly responsible for the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein’s actions, not him.
In a fiery statement released earlier today, Trump called out both Obama and Clinton for their "connections" to Epstein, saying, "Look, folks, we all know who was REALLY involved. It wasn’t me. It was Obama and Clinton. These two are as deep in Epstein’s world as anyone, and now they want to pretend they didn’t know what was going on? Please."
Trump pointed to the well-known history of Epstein’s association with the Clinton family, calling it "a total disaster." "Bill Clintonwas flying around on Epstein ’s private plane, heading to his private island. You can’t get any more involved than that, folks. It’s absolutely unbelievable, but they think they can cover it up. Not on my watch."
As for Obama, Trump didn’t hold back, accusing the former president of turning a blind eye to Epstein's behavior. "Obama might act all holier-than-thou now, but let’s not forget, he had Epstein at the White House. He had him over for parties, events – you name it. They probably even had pizza. Big, fancy pizza parties. And guess what? I wasn’t invited. But now, they want to throw the blame on me? Not happening. By the way, at least I never wore a tan suit at any events. Never."
Trump then added a nod to a notorious moment during Obama’s presidency. "And let’s not forget the Grey Poupon moment. That mustard incident. I was never a fan of the fancy mustard, folks. A real leader knows that you don’t need that stuff. Just a little ketchup. But Obama and Clinton, they want to act like they didn’t know what was happening with Epstein, like they’re innocent in all of this. I think we all know the truth."
Trump concluded by adding, "Let’s be real here: I’m not responsible for Epstein’s terrible actions. The Clintons and Obama are the ones who need to answer the tough questions. If the media had any guts, they’d focus on that."
Every accusation is an admission...
