Trump Drops Foolproof Plan for Handling Epstein Barrage at Republican Event
President Donald Trump rolled out a new plan to quash questions about his relationship with deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, telling GOP lawmakers this one weird trick to parry “inappropriate” questions.
The Trump administration’s attempt to bury the so-called “Epstein Files” is now in its third week, and the heat just keeps going up.
Just as it seemed the frenzy had reached its peak this past weekend, The Wall Street Journal dropped a hotly anticipated profile of the Trump-Epstein relationship that included a highly suggestive note. Amid a blizzard of disturbing resurfaced clips, CNN dropped a new bombshell Tuesday when they released new photos and videos of Trump and Epstein together in the 90s.
But Trump, who has taken to assailing anyone who asks about the case, thought up a new strategy as he addressed Republican lawmakers at a “reception” in the East Room of the White House Tuesday night.
In a rant about what he called the “made-up hoax that they’re talking about,” Trump told Republicans to reference his baseless and discredited accusation of “treason” against former President Barack Obama anytime they get a question that’s “not appropriate”:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: And with this made-up hoax that they’re talking about, my numbers have gone up four and five points.
It’s — they want to do anything to get us off the subject of making America great again. And we’re not going to put up with it.
And remember, don’t let them forget, it’s so important, Obama cheated on the election.
Look, the camera just went off. Obama, the red light just went of. Can you believe these people, how bad they are?
Obama cheated, when they give you all the nonsense, Obama cheated and his people cheated, but he was there. Did you ever hear this?
They talk about, if they ever even mention it, they never mention his name. Just the opposite with me. But they only mention my name.
They don’t mention any of you guys. They don’t mention Tom. They don’t mention Steve. They don’t mention our great speaker. They mention Trump all the time. I’d like to have him mention you.
But remember this, Obama cheated on the election, and we have it cold, hard, blue, and it’s getting even more so because the stuff that’s coming in is not even believable.
So, and you should mention that every time they give you a question that’s– not appropriate, just say, oh, by the way, Obama cheated on the election. You’ll you’ll watch the camera turn off instantly.
Fact check: The cameras did not turn off instantly.
Watch above via White House pool.
