‘Don’t Talk About Trump!’ Trump Bristles As Reporters Instantly Pepper Him About Epstein As He Lands In Scotland
President Donald Trump bristled at the barrage of questions about deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein as the scandal followed him across the ocean to Scotland.
It has been almost three weeks since the Trump administration first tried to bury the promised mountain of information on deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, and the heat just keeps going up. At every turn, Trump’s efforts to quash the story have only intensified interest in it, and deepened Trump’s own association with it.
As the week came to a close, Trump was still being peppered with questions about the scandal as he made his way to Turnberry, Scotland and his “Trump Turnberry” resort.
Trump spoke to reporters for about eight minutes after he landed, and despite his constant demands for silence on the issue, he was bombarded with Epstein questions. The president rattled off a now-familiar list of preferred topics and told them “Don’t talk about Trump!”:
REPORTER: Have you ever been briefed on your name appearing in the Epstein File ever?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, I was never, never briefed, no.
REPORTER: What are you hoping Todd Blanche interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, what are you hoping that they get out of that?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I really have no, really nothing to say about it. She is being talked to by a very smart man, by a really good man, Todd Blanche. And I don’t know anything about the conversation. I haven’t really been following it.
A lot of people are asking me about pardons. Obviously, this is no time to be talking about pards. But a lot of the people have asked about parden. This is just not a time to be talking about pardons.
Todd will come back with whatever he’s got.
You’re making a very big thing over something that’s not a big thing. You should be talking, if you’re going to talk about that, talk about Clinton. Talk about the former president of Harvard. Talk about all of his friends. Talk about hedge fund guys that were with him all the time. Don’t talk about Trump!
What you should be taking about is the fact that we have the greatest six months in the history of a presidency, according to a lot of people. And we had an amazing six months.
