A picture of Donald Trump with financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has resurfaced after JD Vance brought Epstein up during an interview with Fox News Sunday.

While speaking about Vice President Kamala Harris' economic platform, Vance said, "Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, it's like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. The American people are much smarter than that, they don't buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a fresh start, she is more of the same."

Since the interview, a picture of Trump and his wife Melania alongside Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell has resurfaced on X, formerly Twitter. It follows a report alleging that Trump's campaign has been using a private jet once owned by Epstein for recent travel.

Trump told New York Magazine in 2002, "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. 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."

Yikes.

Yeah, nothing to see here. Grab em by the pussy? Naah, just kidding, trump would never, right?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 66 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There’s more than one. He’s got lots, from multiple occasions.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 63 points 4 months ago

Atleast he wasn't on the Epstein list or we would have serious problems, that a list full of pedo's....

*taps shoulder *

OK, so 13 flights and best friends with Epstein, and currently using his plane, cant be that bad, right guys?

[-] wolfshadowheart@slrpnk.net 10 points 4 months ago

Is he really using Epstein's plane? That's insane....

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago

Well, Epstein doesn't use it anymore or so I've heard.

[-] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago

T-man looks like he is on a different plane of existence, it's like he's angled 13° downward

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 41 points 4 months ago

Yup, he's gotta:

Hide his paunch.

Look down women's shirts.

Be a weirdo.

Take your pick

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I pick all of the above

[-] quicklime@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

At that time he was just barely young enough to still be trying tricks like that to hide the gut.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

He's probably been wearing lifts for a long time.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

His body can't handle the weight of all that ego.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 32 points 4 months ago

Melania looks like she can't stand the smell of him even then.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

lol she used him as much as he used her. They were both terrible people to start with.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

To be fair, she just always looks like that.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 months ago

He probably always smells like that too.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

If Adam Kinzinger is to be believed, yes.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

I think she's trying to look sexy. But yeah, she just looks repulsed. Seems like her 'sexy' facial expression is always either repulsed or trying to hold in a fart.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Oh man, if ever there was a crowd not worth the minor discomfort of holding in a fart around...

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Yet she is still with him.

Zero sympathy.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

The word "Epstein" should never be uttered by this campaign. There's no scenario in which this works out as net positive.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 months ago

With friends like this couche fucker, trump doesn't even need enemies

[-] tacofox@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

Xitter is shadow/banning any accounts that mention #MuskPedoFiles

[-] match@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago

jd vance the secretary of the interior design

[-] blarth@thelemmy.club 7 points 4 months ago

Maybe JD actually feels the way he did in 2016 and is a plant? It’s the only way I can wrap my head around his behavior.

[-] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's time to use the good ole "don't attribute to malice, what can be explained by incompetence"

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Were they all grooming an underage couch in that photo?

[-] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

He died by suicide at the Metropolitan
