Trump’s Weird New Blurted-Out Epstein Bombshell Makes You Wonder: WTF Is Wrong With This Guy?

President Donald Trump’s insane blurted out bombshell about Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre is one of several recent quotes that just make you go “What the fuck is wrong with this guy?”

Many of Trump‘s critics have taken it to pointing at his many gaffes and blunders as a way to equate them to the cognitive decline that President Joe Biden was accused of. There certainly is ample material in this regard. But I think they reveal deeper and more long-standing flaws in Trump‘s mind and character.

Take, for example, his multiple exchanges aboard Air Force One about his breakup with former close pal turned sex criminal corpse Jeffrey Epstein.

To set the table, keep in mind that for weeks Trump supporters have been echoing the White House line that they fell out because Epstein was a creep. Whether anyone believed it or not, that was a settled and self-serving point. Trump then unsettled it while he was in Scotland by saying no, it was because he poached employees from my club.

Then on Air Force One, he had the correct instinct from a messaging point of view when he lashed out at an NBC news producer who asked him to explain the discrepancy between the two explanations:

NBC NEWS PRODUCER: Mr. President, you said yesterday your falling out with Jeffrey Epstein was because he was taking some of the workers from your business but your administration in the past said that you threw him out because “he was a creep.”.

So can you explain that discrepancy?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well they’re the same thing, you know, sort of a little bit of the same thing.

But no, he took people that worked for me and I told him don’t do it anymore. And he did it. And I said, stay the hell out of here.

NBC NEWS PRODUCER: So is that what was meant by being a creep? Who are you with? Me? I’m the travel pool, but I’m with NBC News.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: NBC. NBC, fake news! NBC’s one of the worst. What else do you have?

But then, with a series of rather obvious questions, Trump drops that strategy and just trickles his way to the bombshell revelation, as if he were Jedi mind-tricking himself. Sort of reminded me of that grandma‘s on the roof joke.

Trump starts out this series of exchanges by saying, like, well I don’t really want to say, and then just going ahead and saying. Everything!

First someone asked for these employees from the spa? Then someone asked were they young women like the ones Jeffrey Epstein abused? Was one of them a teenage girl who actually turned out to be Epstein‘s most high-profile victim?

REPORTER: Mr. President. Epstein has a certain reputation, obviously. I’m just curious, were some of the workers that were taken from you, were some them young women?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Some of them?

REPORTER: Were some of them young women?

TRUMP: Well, I don’t want to say, but everyone knows. The people that were taken and it was the concept of taking people that work for me is bad but that story’s been pretty well out there and the answer is yes they were in the spa people that worked in this spa, I have a great spa one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago.

And people were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone. And other people would come and complain, this guy is taking people from the spa. I didn’t know that. And then when I heard about it, I told him. I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa. I don’t wanna him taking people. And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, ‘Out of here.’

REPORTER: Mr. President, did one of those stolen, um, you know, persons that include Virginia Giuffre?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Uh, I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah.

He stole her.

And, by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.

I’ve heard a few different explanations for this stunning display of self-dick-shootery from stunned media insiders. One veteran White House reporter speculated that perhaps he was trying to get ahead of some story that is in the offing, but the execution was so disorganized, I don’t buy that explanation.

My guess is that this was Trump‘s version of a display of consciousness of guilt. Not feelings of guilt, but consciousness that there are facts indicative of guilt, that he believes it is better for him not to appear to be hiding.

It could also be as simple as the collapse of Trump in the face of some social persuasion that we are not completely privy to. He lashed out at a woman from NBC News, but Trump has shown a tendency to behave differently around those from whom he craves approval and acceptance.

That’s why he still talks to Maggie Haberman despite her constantly dropping scoops that screw him over. It’s also why he returned to lashing out when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins — perpetually under his skin — quizzed him about it after he landed.

Who knows? Maybe it really is just cognitive issues. In any case, he basically extracted from himself a progressively worsening series of revelations that made him look really bad when he had already arrived at a perfectly serviceable dodge.

But what it also says about him is that he conspicuously failed to take the one opportunity he might have had to make himself look good, or at least look not like a horrible ghoul.

As John Berman of CNN pointed out in his canny commentary, Trump dropped a bomb about the then-teenage Virginia Roberts without so much as a whisper of a hint about what subsequently happened to her. His only thought was of how Epstein victimized him by “stealing” this underage girl from his spa.

Armchair political psychiatry has always gotten on my nerves, and a lot of resistance types will probably try to label this personality trait as sociopathy. But I don’t believe Donald Trump is a sociopath, and I don’t believe this exchange was indicative of that.

Trump knows right from wrong. He just doesn’t care. Trump is capable of emotion, but only for himself. It is evidence of his grotesque character, nothing more.

There was another recent outburst that drew my attention. It’s actually a new variation on a riff that Trump has been doing for months.

He tells the story of a woman whose son was taken hostage by Hamas, asking about the effort to retrieve her son. In the story, Trump asks her “How is your son doing?”

And then he is surprised to learn that he is dead. And he invariably goes on and on about how amazing it is that a grieving mother would care so deeply about recovering the remains of her child with the amazed Commentary of a wildlife adventurer who just discovered a three-dicked unicorn. And every time he goes into this riff, it makes me think: What the fuck is wrong with this guy?

But over the weekend, he added a new element, saying that this amazing shocking desire on the part of this woman to retrieve the remains of her son, even though he’s dead, was even more important to her than if he were still alive.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this guy?

And finally, there is the flood of resurfaced clips that came out this week amid the uproar over Jeffrey Epstein.

I’m going to post them all again here because why not?

And while it’s hard to pick the most disgusting one — saying he draws the sexual line at 12-year-olds or that he would be dating his daughter Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter, or that super gross quote he gave Rolling Stone, or agreeing that Ivanka is “a piece of ass” — but for sheer weirdness, it’s hard to beat him wondering if his infant baby daughter is gonna have giant tits one day.

Resurfaced this week:

Ex-Trump official Miles Taylor wrote in his book “Blowback” that “Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly co remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter. Afterward, Kelly retold the story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was ‘a very, very evil man.'”
Two different women with whom Trump had sexual affairs — Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal — have revealed that he compared them to Ivanka while the affairs were going on.
“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her,” among the most notorious of the clips, from a 2006 episode of The View.

Ex-Miss Universe Brooke Antoinette Lee told The New York Times that Trump said, in 1997, “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?”
Trump told Rolling Stone in 2015, “Yeah, she’s [Ivanka’s] really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father . . . ”
He told Howard Stern in 2003, “My daughter, Ivanka. She’s six feet tall, she’s got the best body.”

Also on Stern, Trump agreed that Ivanka is “a piece of ass.”
These other past videos have also been featured in the past week:
Trump joked about dating a young girl “in 10 years” in a resurfaced clip from Entertainment Tonight.
