Trump openly embraces, amplifies QAnon conspiracy theories
Pressed on QAnon theories that Trump allegedly is saving the nation from a satanic cult of child sex traffickers, he claimed ignorance but asked, “Is that supposed to be a bad thing?”

“If I can help save the world from problems, I’m willing to do it,” Trump said.

Trump’s recent postings have included images referring to himself as a martyr fighting criminals, psychopaths and the so-called deep state.

Epstein Files About 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser Kept Secret

The Justice Department has not released dozens of Jeffrey Epstein files linked to allegations that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a child decades ago, according to a report.

The bombshell allegations involve a South Carolina woman who claims she was abused and trafficked by Epstein, and that the disgraced financier took her to New York or New Jersey and introduced her to Trump when she was about 13 in 1984.

A redacted FBI report released as part of the Epstein files revealed the woman told interviewers that Trump had forced her to perform a sexual act on him, and punched her on the side of her head after she allegedly “bit the s--t out of” his penis.

While the allegations against Trump are unproven—and there is no evidence that Trump and Epstein were friends as far back as the early 1980s—The Post and Courier managed to corroborate multiple claims the woman made about Atkins, who died in 2003 at 69.

This included correctly telling the FBI that Atkins was affiliated with a college in Ohio, describing his physical appearance, and identifying his connections to Hilton Head when she was a teenager.

Late 1980s

Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” the magazine reported Trump saying in a phone interview. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”


This allegation in particular should be thoroughly investigated. I find this accuser very sympathetic. And it should at least be looked into seriously.
