Trump Plays the Trump Card: Ignorance

Trump Plays the Trump Card: Ignorance

On Tuesday July 8, 2025 President Trump was giving a press briefing with his cabinet at the White House when US Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked by Steve Nelson of the New York Post about the Epstein Client list.[1]

Trump interjected, “Are you still talking about Jeffery Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. We’ve have Texas. We’ve have this. We have all of the things. Are people still talking about this guy? This creep?” Turning to Pam Bondi, “Do you want to waste the time? Do you feel like answering?”

Pam Bondi responded, “I don’t mind answering.”

Trump continued, “I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein- at a time like this. We’re having some of the greatest success and tragedy with what is happened in Texas [flooding]. It just seems like a desecration; but, you go ahead.”

Bondi responded again, “Sure. First, to back up on that. In Feb I did an interview on Fox. It’s been getting a lot of attention because I was asked a question about the client list. My response was, ‘It’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed.’ Meaning the file along with the JFK, MLK, files as well. That’s what I meant by that.”

Bondi then went to say that she wouldn’t release the child porn, that she wasn’t sure about Epstein being a foreign agent and would get back with the reporter with the information, and that the missing minute from the video of the night he was murdered is standard and not when he was allegedly murdered.

So, what about this photo from February 27th at the White House?

“-Feb. 27

At a press event featuring MAGA influencers and podcasters, Bondi handed out binders full of what her office called ‘declassified’ Epstein records but also admitted most of them had been ‘previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity’—and backlash quickly began growing as observers realized the files contained no new names or revelations.”

Here are some more responses from Trump over the past few days when asked about Epstein.

Representative Thomas Massie is trying to use the power of Congress to release the files.

Is Trump on the Epstein list? It would explain his sudden turn around on arming Ukraine to fight Russia on Monday, July 14, 2025. What is Zelensky’s religion?[3]
