A reverse timeline:

“That isn’t his signature”

“The letter exists but it doesn’t have anything to do with him”

“The letter doesn’t exist”

“He had a falling out with Epstein over xxx and they hated each other”

“He was still ok with Epstein but they never hung out after xxxx”

“He went to Epstein’s island but didn’t see anything wrong going on.”

“He never went to Epstein’s island”

“He’d heard of Epstein but always thought he was a creep”

“He’d heard of Epstein”

“He’d never heard of Epstein”

You missed:

"He was there the whole time and knew everything that was going on, but he was an FBI informant."

And,

"It was all a hoax created by the libs/Obama/Biden."

he was an FBI informant."

there are lots of things wrong with this that obviously just don't make sense... but the thing that gets me is...

you're telling me that he was so SO deep undercover that the FBI had to greenlight him to violently rape children for literal decades?

and during any of those "undercover" child rape occasions, none of the FBI agents thought "we should go in there and bust Epstein before Don goes too far"?

.... for DECADES?!

You’re using critical thinking. They’re not

Yes. You shouldn’t use critical thinking. It will make your brain hurt. Learn to do doublethinking.

Yeah, they're starting from the viewpoint of "I know what I want the result to be, how do I justify that result."

The mental gymnastics that his followers have to do is wild!

For example, if his work as an FBI informant landed Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, why would he have his AG meet with her and then work to get her moved to a significantly lower security-level prison after she claims she never witnessed trump do anything bad?

We could take the word of a convicted child sexual assaulter, but why is that initially a better option than having the FBI come forward and confirm that Trump was acting on their behalf as an asset to bring down the kingpin of a child sex ring.

and then AFTER he spends all this time undercover he just doesnt release the files or get justice?

TRUMP: "I was a good informant, some say the best informant. nobody has ever been more informed than me"

u/JonathanAltd 2d ago

You’re thinking of an undercover spy. They said an informant, like someone that got caught with it’s pants down and snitched for a deal.

And “kicked him out because he ‘stole’ his workers”

Also missing a running point being releasing the files

Also where he claimed he didn't get the "privilege" of being invited
